THE FRENCH WOMAN
New Studies of Her Traits in Old

NJ Henry Roujon, formerly director of
fine arts. and now perpetual secretary
Of the Academic des Beaux-Arts. has
brought together In an amusing volume
entitled DANES d'Autrefois,'' published
by Fasquelle, upward OF fifty sketches
Of women who became eminent. or, at
least, deserved celebrity. Some of these
women were artful political wire pullers,
like Lady Hamilton, the friend Of the
Queen Of Naples and companion of Mel
son; some were ardent sentimentalists,
like Queen Marguerite de Valois Mile
de TEspinasse and Mile. 5e Romans:
others triumphed on the stage, like Mile.
Sale, the "danseuse'; others were pro-
fessional beauties, like Mile. Duthe, but
those who occupy the largest space in
VI. Roujon's book We're women of DOM
mating personality and brilliant intel
iect, such as the Marquise de Rambouil-
let, Mime. de Lafayette. Nine Roland,
Nine Geoffrin. Nine. dc Stael, Nine
Recamier and Nine. Emile de Girardin.
N. Roujon is a sort of literary Natter.
He never fails to impart to his portraits
some new features that render them
sympathetic.
NJ Octave Uzanne, who is a somewhat
aciduious observer, has collected IN a
compact book, "Parisiennes de Ce
Temps" published by the Mercure de
France, a series of biographies OF Pa
risian women of every social level and Of
varied vocations. The chapters devoted
TO women OF the dramatic and lyric
stage offer no encouragement for girls
who wish to become operate divas or
star tragediennes. N. Uzanne thus de-
scribes the life OF a successful actress:
To be an actress is become the slave Of
caprice and the Servant of the puDllc. 10
belong TO nobody, to sacrifice TO every
body 10 tremble before the critic, to have
no real home life 10 be bullied by theatre
managers. TO be polluted by the scrutiny OF
promiscuous audiences to interpret scores
of idiotic, incongruous parts, 10 dress, un-
dress and dress over again, to paint one
face to make grtmaces or smiles TO abdi
cate all individuality and 10 recommence
each evening the eternal. insipid, monoton-
GUS parade before mousse fuii OF he" ana
unknown faces.
NJ. Francis Jammes, in +La Brebis
Egaree." published by Plon, recounts the
idyl of a young musician, Pierre, who
falls in love with a beautiful and intel
lectual Parisienne named FRANCHISES
The methods employed by the author are
much like those used 50 effectively by NJ.
