The rural free delivery system In
America is the outgrowth of many
years experience. 1t comes as a late
result In the process of development.
In Morocco, on the other hand, 1t seems
to be the basis of system yet to be
formed; only there Is one respect the
two methods differ: that of the United
States is maintained at an expense to
the government, but the Moroccan sys-

to the following account given by the

ny H. Madame Recamier,
with whose name it is inseparably con-
nected.
In the time of the restoration, the
abbaye, which then had been restored
to Its first use. was transformed by the
nuns into sort of pension, where wom-
en- of the upper classes retired to taste
the sweets Of solitude and calm repose,
and there Madame Recamier, 1.-The
friend Of great men," came to retire
after her husbands ruin, and the death
Of her friend, Nine. de Stael. Here 1t
was, too, that she held her famous
salon-the most envied In Paris-where
Chateaubriand reigned as king-and to
which all the illustrious ones of the
restoration solicited the honor Of being
received. 1t was In this historic salon
that Lamartine read his Premises
Meditations, and that, as quite young
man, Victor Hugo was called "a sub
lime child" by Chateaubriand.
In 1913, the hostess Of the Abbaye-
aux Bots, who was then in her 73d year,
received a visit from a man still young,
but with slightly stopped shoulders,
tired features, steel-blue eyes that had
strange look. This was Prince Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte, afterward Napo-
leon III, who, just arrived In Paris,
came to visit Madame Recamier, as one
Of the celebrities of the capital. He
wanted to see at close quarters, even in
her decline, the woman who had be-
witched with her beauty and charm for
two-thirds Of century.
