 THE French "conteo has been de- lV scribed as tale something more
 than a sketch, yet something less. perhaps, than a short story. It IS for his achievements in this field of liter ary endeavor that Francis Coppe., who died in Paris yesterday, will assuredly be best remembered in the English-speakins world, and probably even in his native land. delicate sympathy with, and per ceptlon of, what may be called the poetry of the commonplace, command Of sentl- ment that is tender and sweet without ever degenerating into the maudlin or lachrymose, a gift of wise and gentle humor, were among the salient qualities that endeared M. Coppee to his readers in a fashion uncommon among Gallic writer's
 Of his contemporaries, Anatole France alone, especially in ''Le Crime du Syl- vestre Bonnard," has attained that subtle flavor of naivete and kindly wisdom, blended with an unobtrusiye perfection and refinement of literary art. But M. France, particularly in his recent work, sounds deeply poignant note of hope less agnosticism that was ever wholly for- eign to the personality of the older writer. It was possible with NJ. Coppee to be sarcastic without being mordant to be tender and pathetic without sus9estiol of the pessimistic.
 The external events of his career were simple and uneventful Born Tn tie capital by the Seine in 1S42 he succeeded, at the age of 21 his father in modest position in the war department, and un- dertook the support of his three elder

THE sIIIMREP. TIME.

THE SLUMBER TIME. Oh, the slumber time Dife's care redeems When the stars look down On the court of dreams, And a night wind lulls Tired hearts to rest And we pause for a while In the hopeless quest Then the fays trip forth Where the grass is green And the moonlight falls sOn a witching scene. In frolicsome round Do the fairies play, Till the hush of dawn Spells the break of day, And the leaves of the rose Are again unfurled And the sun comes back To a glad old world!

sisters, with one of whom he lived for many years. The literary impulse came early, although all the verses of his novi- tiate were destroyed. "Le Paseant," a one-act comedy in verse, brought him sub stantial success in 1S69 and from that time forward he was regarded as figure of importance in the later 18th century French literature.
 Despite several others plays. which pleased at least Paris, 1t was as poet of impeccable technique, and particularly as a master of the "conte,'' both in verse and prose- upon which the reputa- tion of M. Coppee justly rested. The flavor of most of his poetry can scarcely be imparted in English, but such ex- quisite little classics as ''The Wooden Shoes of Little Wolf" with it's delicate touches of fantasy and pathos; My Friend Meutrier," "The Two Clowns" "A Dramatic Funeral,' 'The Substitute' and others of his short stories have bravely borne the test of translation. The tales have little in common with the boldness of outline and crystalline brIlliancy of those of Guy de Maupassant The latter compel, maybe, unbounded admiration but it is intimate affection and sympathy that is inspired by the ''eontes" of Cop pee.
 Above all. like Anatole France, like Henri Munger, he was essentially and ccngenitally Partisan. It is the Paris not of the bright lights and gaiety of the boulevards, but the less familiar Paris of the simple, the lowly and the poetic com- monplace, that Coppee loved and in the delineation of the life of which he will be remembered as a master. a
