IL is generally conceded that the
happiest people on earth, as "a whole,
are the French. They are happy be-
cause they are contented, and one
conspicuous reason why they are con-
tented is because the great mass Of
them live In their own homes. Not
more than 30 per cent Of the French
people rent the quart, rs they live In.
They are, Indeed, the best sheltered
people In the world. Though there
are only 3S, 900, 900 Of them they have
5000, 900 dwelling houses. This, as
VIII readily be seen, provides a house
Tor every 20 persons, another con-
spicuOus exhibition OF French thrift.
