To Make the French Duel More Serious

1t is not necessary that a duel
should have fatal or dangerous con-
sequences. The unfortunate thing
is that two men should meet with
deadly weapons and behave as u
they were performing an act OF
vaudeville. This gives occasion for
much mirth among foreigners and
the vulgar of our own country.
Frenchmen who cherish the glorious
traditions of the duel of prerevolu-
tionary days are cruelty hurt by
these references. If the duel took
place i'm absolute secrecy and the
result only was reported in the most
formal language, there would be no
opportunity for the comic writer
and artist
we must. by our correct be-
havior restore to the duel the gravity
ana the prestige il has lost in re-
cent years. Let US remember that
the duel is one Of the most memoir
able occasions of a mans life, as NJ.
de FOuquieres has so well said.

duels with publicity will he per
