circle and its galleries are cut up into
little boxes. Each of them has been
the scene of many decisive neet-
ing"
The mother has her daughter sit
ting by her in the box which she has
taken. Between the first and second
acts the young man is brought to
them by the common friend, osten-
sibly to pay an offhand visit and in
quire about their health. They stay
five minutes, speaking of the play
the weather, and the Partisan season,
and then retire.
Wheh they have gone the mother
ought to make some tentative remark
to the girl on the young mans looks,
position, fortune, manners and so on,
endeavoring to fathom the Impression
he has made.
1t is admitted that mothers ought
not to instruct their daughters pre-.
viously for this encounter. For if
the girl has been catechised before
hand she will be so filled with appre.
hension as to risk losing grace and
naturalness. So she may not have
sufficient self-possession to observe if
the young man be pleasing to her or
the. contrary.
She ought not to know the object of
his coming to the box, because, if
she fails to please. it is distressing
to be told so. She would be humili-
ated and lose confidence the next
time.
The common friends meet again, in
their frock coats, to let each other
know what the effects have been. If,
as happens very rarely, the girl has
failed to please on close inspection.

or grandmother in the same way, lack
ing whom the duty of consenting falls
upon the family council composed OF
his nearest relatives.
1t is subtle law. Three times, at
intervals of a month, whole machin-
cry of stamped paper and its legal
service must be set in motion. This
gives parents four months more time.
If they choose to dodge the service,
as the widow of a millionaire distil.
Ter did for eighteen months on board
her yacht not long ago, the baked
young folks have nothing to do but
patiently pursue their rights through
the swamp of procedure" as they
say in the Sale des Pas Perdus-"the
Hall of Lost Footsteps" of the Palace
of Justice.
When a young Frenchman, there
fore, sees a girl well suited to him,
he does not go to her and say: Y
love you"
(a) 1t would be dishonosable
(b) 1t would make her faint; and
(c) He would not get the chance
to try it.
Instead, he goes and tells his
mother.
His mother tells his father.
His father goes to see his brother,
or his business partner, or friend.
Then both of them, wearing their
best frock coats, call on some friend
of the family of the girl in question.
The proposed match is talked over
and rendezvous is made to hear this
friends report on how the family of
the girl receive the proposition.
1t is at some dance or dinner or re-
ception that the young folks are at
last confronted with each other. Fail
ing such facilities the Opera Comique
has been immemorially for this pur-
pose by Partisan families of the
middle classes. Like most Eu-
ropean playhouses, all its parquet

child burns upon it's surface-the
French law will never let bygones be
bygones. Then, as the birth certifi-
cate gives direct clue to the fathers
secret dosser, the errors Of two gen
erations are at the disposal of those
who can show a right to know them.
The girls parents have such right.
The young man cannot, dare not, re-
fuse investigation. In the social and
administrative arms of the French
government, the details of ones errors
are writ out with such minuteness
that in recent cause celebre . wit

Now you must know that the French
fathers inquisitiveness grows out of a
duty to his daughter absolutely I'M

father:

negro baseball teams played matches
