enough TO have written something to
celebrate victory, ne who had worked
so hard 70 keep up the spirit OF the ma
ton during the dark hours Of the war.
Rostand was one Of Frances great
est modern poets and 6raniatiets. Both
in Europe and America he was known
mostly thru>his "Cyrano de Berserac,
his '"Chanticleer"- thru ''L'Aiglon-
the little eagle which sarah Bern
hardc played 50 wonderfully some
years ago.
Rostand was born in Marssilies In
1853, and intended to become lawyer
But at 20 ne realized that literature
was his profession. At SO he was ad-
rnitted to membership in the academy,
and thus became the youngest o.
Frances "Immortals."
His health broke down after the
production Of ''L'AigIon" and he was
ordered to the warmer climate OF
southern France. One day. stopping in
the yard of a farmhouse, he watched
a blackDird in a cage. A COCK entered
and seeing the suddenly change atti-
tude Of the blackbird, Rostrand muir
mured- "He is most certainly pokins
fun at that cock. Does the cock see It
and # so, what does he think about
IT ?' From this idea came Chant

I'm Deancinco. 1T the Wanhingtoa
VIVA an1 In the vast mAt0rtty oi
cases they WIN bring their wives back
70 America with them. These young
French women make excellent help
mates. In France II has been the Gus
tom for generations for the wife to be
in reality a fifty-fifty partner with her
husband. She not only does the
woman's part in the domestic machin-
cry. but she takes n lively and active
interest in all his business uniertak-
ings Very frequently the American
woman knows little about the business
affairs Of her mate. Not so in la belle
France. There the woman, IL her
husband ~ a merchant, helps him tend
the shop. and very frequently Is by
far the most efficient member OF the
firm In keeping the establishment and
selling the goods.
The French woman. too, by ma
ture Is bright and cheerful, and III
the truth must be told she does not
demand that constant attention ana
near slavish Service that the Ameri-
can-horn woman is too prone 10 eN-
act of her lord. Here the woman
bosses the man around in rather an
autccratic fashion. while over there
the matrimonial partnership is based
on The equality Of the pair
II do not think that many OF our
American boys who have taken French
wives will settle permanently IN
France. for the reason that oppor-
tunities of getting ahead are very re-
mote, and especially now since the
country has been so thoruushy dew
astated. Here and there one q them

I looked over France pretty carefully,
and Il Is my opinion that il will take
generations before there will be a
complete recovery. An almost mortal
blow was inflicted, and France Will
stagger for many long years before
she will regain her old-time position
among the nations Of the earth.
