lucrative vocation for life.
But If the French girl has but a
small dowry. her parents are bound

herself, she Is ostracisad-
Educational facilities are wonderfully
cheap In her country. but with first
class degrees in medicine or law, prac-
tice would be an impOssibility. Her
dramatic talent would be but delusiOn

protective barriers that she is like the
