When the comtesse de soisns Tried u
In the Year 1906.
The Comtesse de Boigne in her mem.
Oirs gives an account of a visit she
paid In 1906, which is interesting in
view Of the position Dieppe now holds
among French watering places.
"The poverty Of the inhabitants =
she says, twas frightful. The Eng.

them he was worse than the deviD,
was cruising necessarily before their
empty harbor. With much difficulty a
boat was able to escape from time to
time and go fishing, always at the risk
Of being captured by the foreigner or
confscated upon the return journey II
the telescopes Of the watchers had
een it approach.a vessel.
"As for the comforts arranged for
the convenience of bathers which
Dieppe has since organized, they were
nonexistent at that time. My brother
was able to find a little covered cart,
and with great trouble and great ex.
pense, Notwithstanding the universal
poverty, a man was hired to lead the
horses down to the sea and two wo-
men to go into thessea with me.
"These preparations raised the pub
lie surprise and curiosity to such a
pitch that my first bath was watched
by a crowd on the shore. My servants
were asked If I had been bitten by a
mad dog.
II aroused extreme pity as I went
by, and it was thought that I was
being taken down to be drowned. An
old gentleman called on my father to
point out to him that he was assuming
a great responsibility in permitting SO
rash an act. It can hardly be imag-
ined that the inhabitants of a sea
shore could be so afraid Of the sea.
"Butt at that time the people OF
Dieppe were chiefly occupied In keep
ing out of sight Of it and in protecting
themselves from the disasters which
they feared the sea might bring, so
that it was for them nothing more
than a means of annoyance and suffer
ing. It is curious to think that ten
years later bathers were arriving In
hundreds, that special arrangements
were made for their convenience and
that sea bathing Of every kind went
on without producing any astonish'
ment in the neighborhood.
IT have thus attempted to point out
that the custom of sea bathing; which
is now 80 universal, is comparatively
recent in France, for Dieppe was the
first place where it began"
