A large number of recent French works
have been added to the Public Library
during the past month. A list of them
will be interesting to the very large
number of persons in Washington who
enjoy reading French literature. In to-

from the Frenchman's point of view are
especially notable. The Saturday Star

will contain titles of the other new
