The French are nothing II not dra-
matte. There is not a page in their
history that does not supply stage
picture. Their everyday life is full OF
situations. They are, says the Illus
trated American, born comedians and,
like members of old-fashioned stock
companies, are fully capable of playing
tragic roles when called upon.
You recognize this dramatic instinct
on the prize day at the Lycee, when M.
c. Marie crowns the most deserving
pupils, and all the relations, with tears
pouring down their cheeks, embrace
the lucky youths. You see it when the

compliments to n rival market woman,
but then she does it so much more pic
turesquely. She never forgets what
she owes to her audience. The states
man in the chamber of deputies or in
the senate plays to the gallery. The
criminal ON trial is continually strik-
ing attitudes. And should it happen
that he be condemned to death, he has
the consolation. at least, that his last
moments will be spent in the midst of
most dramatic surroundings.

craft, gathered this morning about Tot
