Presidents Simple Life.
Much curiosity is excited as tol
whether VI. Fallieres will be able as
president to continue to lead the same
simple manner of life as that to which
ne has hitherto been accustomed. He
has declared his intention of doing so
as far as state duties will permit, ana
during the months interval that has
elapsed between his election and mis-
installation at the Elysee nothing has
been changed. Every morning with
out exception. no matter what the
weather. he has Quilted the Luxem-
bourg after a slight breakfast at about
eight o'clock and started off on walk
OF six or seven miles through the
streets of the city. This has been
his daily practice for years and for
a man Of sixty-f1ve years he proceeds !
at a remarkably brisk pace. The de-
tectiveS charged with his personal
security since January 16, have some !
times been put to it to keep up with |
MIN, walking as they do at a respect
ful distance in the rear. Each day
ne makes a slight change in his route, |
but generally arrangss so that he shall |
pass along the grand bouIevards It
is somewhat remarkable that he is
rarely recognized. Returning to his
residence, NJ. Fallieres devotes him.
self to his Voluminous correspondence
already prepared for him by his two
secretaries. Luncheon at midday is .
very simple but plenteous meal. An

lows, succeeded by receptions and
visits lasting till dinner, at which a |
few Intimate political and literary
friends are always present, for NJ.
Fallieres likes society, and his
guests are RECALLED with wines from
his own vineyards. He does not fol-
low his repasts by cigar, for he has
renounced smoking. The latter part
OF the evening is spent in attending
to private correspondence until tne
hour for retirement, which is the COM
paratively early one of eleven.
NJ. Fallieres has no particular hob
by, but exhibits the greatest interest
IN anything brought to his notice. He
is not deeply interested in any kind
OF sport except perhaps game shoot,
ing, at which he is reputed even a
greater expert than his predecessor.
Madame FallieTes has earned a rem
utatlon for being the personifcation
OF amiability and tact, and promises
to make an ideal hostess in her new
home. She has a charming daughter
ana son who has already made his
mark as barrister.
