Instead of the simple and democratic IA
miliarity that marks the Presidential re-
ceptions in Washington, every visitor at
the Elysee has to stop at a distance of ten
PAGES from NJ. Faure's group until the chief
of the French nation beckons him to come
within the charmed circle.
Felix Faure is accused of attaching rath-
err too much importance to these ceremo-
NAL minutiae. Indeed, the papers are con-
tinually pursuing the pin prick policy with
regard 10 him. On this very score the

All the hopes of the toy sellers in the
booths along the boulevards were shattered
by the deluge on January l. il is the Gus
tom here to promenade the length of the
two rows of wooden shelters on New Year s
Day, buying here a plaything and there a
knicknack, the grown-up people amusing
themselves like children. But the rain
dampened all the high spirits this year,
and il was pitiable TO see the poor tenants
of the booths huddling as far under their
shelter as they could get and looking thor
oughly disheartened. Their rent has TO be
paid whether the season is good or bad,
and it has been so wretched that there is
some talk of allowing the booths TO remain
standing until January II, instead of Jan
uary 9.
On the other hand. the cafes could not

4 stupid legend started this week about
the empress. The Journal relates an in
cident that happened during the closing
scenes OF the Fashoda difficulty. The en-
press, who was going TO leave England
for France, went to bid goodby to the
queen. Just as she was leaving the queen,
embracing her, said: If war must break
out between France and England, | hope
God may allow me to die before it does"
These words were faithfully repeated at
the Quai d'Orsay. and this is why France
showed such a Chrstianlike spir over
Fashoda, and is the explanation why
France didn't insist on Sir Edmund Mon
sons recall after his speech at the Cham
ber of Commerce banquet

French Views of America.


The papers record with a sort of as
tonished envy the amount OF money the
United States Government is expected TO
pay to the Peace Commissioners. Some
curiosity is expressed to know what is

One American woman managed 10 make
lot OF children happy in Paris this week.
This is Countess de Castellane who has
lust gone into her new house, in the
Avenue du Bois de Boulogne. AS sort
of house warming, she invited the children
OF all the workmen who have been en-
gagged on the building. She had Christ
mas tree for them, as well as "a Punch and
Judy show and an orchestra. The chill
dren were given armfuls Of toys. and their
parents were dined When they went

The new home into which the Count and

construction for several years. II is not
yet entirely completed. II is in part a re
production of the Petit Trianon.
II is situated at an angle OF the Avenue
| hu Bois de Boulogne, the Rue Duret and
| the Avenue Malakof1. The best architects
were engaged, and for many months past
the $50 workmen have found employment
