KIM PEASANTS oE BRITTANY
Will Willingly Share With You Con-
tents Of Cupboard and VIII
Not Ask for Pay.

In Brittany all peasants carry their
own knives; and--as for forks, they
have no use for them. George Whar-
ton Edwards tells, In Brittany and
the Bretons,. OF a visit to an inn
where he met with the proverbial
Brelon hospitality.
An old withered Breton N sat
at the 1reside. busiiy knitting at a
Jersey Of blue wool, and three men sat
at q table, playing some sort Of game
with dominoes.
The men gave no apparent heed to
our entrance, but I knew we were be
ing discussed In their patois.
We asked for bread. butter and a
pitcher OF cider, which was forth
coming. bat no knives brought.
Noting our predicament, the three
uen at once produced their knives,
immense horn-handied affairs. and aft
err wiping them cry carefully and
considerably on their coat sleeves,
they opened and proffered them to us.
"And now, madame said ], what
shall I pay your
R4fQ H0AS tAN< 2
| There lis no charge for the bread. for
is not that the gift OF bon Dieu?"
Thus It Is throughout this strange
land OF Brittany. One ma travel

cities, and everywhere meet with the
| same hospitality. The peasant will
willingly share with You what he has
In the cupboard, and win not ask fol

ies wild geese. wild swans, brant

within the scope Of its protection all
