Father. if I were just man like
you, could do something to re-
'lieve the burdens OF my people"
Thus spoke Marie Louveau as she
walked slowly down the handsome
flight of stone steps in front of the
ancestral mansion. beside her father
who had inherited the estate along
with all the dignity and traditions
which had characterized the Lou
veau family for generations. Mon
sieur Louveau was a worthy repre-
sentative of his family. He was
known far and wide for his benevo-
lences to the poor and wherever his
erect form appeared in any of the
nearby hamlets, he was sure to be
greeted by both young and old, in
a manner that spoke more volumes
than their words could express.
For time they walked in silence.
AT length the stately gentleman ad-
dressed his daughter.
Il, too, feel keenly the condition
under which we must live, and ]
have longed for a time when our
people could again be free. But
realize how helpless one man is. or
even how helpless a small group Of
men are, to bring about these
things"
Well. father" replied Marie. ~

| long for the opportunity which |
know will sometime be yours and
mine."
II was a festive day in autumn
when over all the roads around
Josselin. the peasants and their
wives were coming toward the viii
lage. The men walked slowly and
lazily, mrching their whole body
forward at every step. They wore
baggy gray or blue trousers with !
loose short jackets, and shovel-shap-
ed hats with two long black velvet
ribbons dangling down their backs. |
Beside them walked the women.
dressed in all the gala cOlOrs Of the |
day. Dresses which had served "a

occasions as this. The black broad |
cloth was banded with black velvet. |
The light bOdces were ablaze in
front with thick, heavy, brilliant
embroidery in vivid crimsons, GOLD ]
grange, blues and greens. Over the |
full skirts. they wore a fine apron
Of cOlOred silk, some lavender. some
green, pink or cream. These also
were embroidered. Their hats were
a tight, brown casque over the fore
head, with a crown Of black velvet.
touched with a filmy white. Even
the tiniest children were in costume.
Moving in and out among the
mass Of people could be seen the
figure Of a beautiful young girl,
simply, but neatly dressed. She,
with a dignifled gentleman Of mid
die age, was exchanging smiles and
words Of greeting with the wealthy
burghers, the poor peasant women,
and the labOrers from the distant
farms, who had often had cause 10
feel grateful 10 her father for the
kindness which he had shown them.
They all seemed so happy, for
This was one of the very few days
when the people of Lorraine were
allowed TO enjoy some OF the free

that the heart of Marie was filled
with great yearning for the day
