 French king, and Maraget of Austria,

 "Tn the closing years of the six

 by the Spaniards and it remained
 part of the Flemish possessions of the
 southern kingdom for nearly hun
 dred years, until Louis XIV secured it's cession to France by the treaty Of Nimcguen. In 1793 the town success fully resisted the besieging forces of Austria, but it was not so happy in its resistance to the Duke of Wellington in 1915.
 Among the great names in French history which are associated with Cambrai are those of two churchmen the sch holarly and exemplary Arch i bishop FenelOn, whose Treatise on the ] Education of Girls was pioneer dis cussion of the problem of higher i education for women, and the Cardi- l nal Dubois, described by vitriollc i contemporary historian as a little l pitiful, Wizened man in t1aXen wig, 1 with a weazePs face frightened by 1 some intelligence, a man in whom all 1 the vices-perfidy, avarice, debauch- 1 cry, amb mbtion, fattcry-fought for the i mastery Despite this disagreeable ! picture, it is to be remembered that ! as the virtual ruler of France while
