As a matter of fact Frenchmen are
about the least democratic people in the
world IN their social longings and ideals.
France Is politically a republic. but so
cially it keeps up most Of the character
istics of an aristocracy. The difference
between her and America in this respect
is prodigious. In the United States it is
impossible TO find man with a decora-
ton; in France it is difficult to find any
body without one. In spite of the revO-
luton titles are still maintained. and the
