during his present trip through the United

circles. They have the thorough and pictur-
esque analysis that characterized Dickens's

Deschamps describes the 1133 girls of Smith

question put TO him was: do you know NJ
Rostand?" and then recounts how the Young
admirers Of the creator of Cyrano recited the
ballade OF the cadets OF Gascony, with a slight
English accent. "qui mele agreabl au
ragout des fimes Gascogne" ". Deschamps
declares himself very deeply impressed with this
college Of young women, which occupies an area
greater than that of the Pare Monceaux and
which he says in summer must resemble a fash
ionable French watering place. LIB
