UPPER CRUST" OF
FRENCH SOCIETY
N.RESENT GAYETY
Partisan "Chic" Introduced by
War Brides "Shocks"
Sedate Members.

Introduction of Partisan Chic"
with French war-brides teaching
language classes, into the Alliance
Francaise, is causing a sharp diff
ference. of opinion among local
members. -
One group, headed by Mzd1asI
August Borglum. founder of the so
ciety here, says dignity is being
lost. The other group, headed by
DR.. Felix Despecher, claims that the
parties and get together affairs"
attract more members than an ex-
elusive program of lectures on clas-
sic French literatureland the history
of the famous institutions Of
France. ~
Il think the society is losing sight
of its original purpose" said Mad
anne Borglum. "Too much empha-
sis is put upon parties and classes
by-war brides" I don't see why the
war brides shold give classes while
we have such splendid teachers OF
French in our high schools.
-.Flippancy seems to have become
the keynote of the present work Of
the Alliance. We want to get back
to serious study, though I have no
objection to occasional social gath
crings. They can be kept dignifed
If the other members do not want
to work along these lines | am per-
fectly willing to withdraw, and let
them have their own way"
"The Alliance was dying slowly"
said DR. Despecher. "We had lee
lures but no one came. Very few
people were willing to exert them
selves, and the talks we have had.
learned and instructive, though they
were, found no hearing. Our aim is
to attract people and give them the
very best of French literature. But
we have to draw them first, and that
can best be--done by making it a
more social affair. The classes which
the war brides are conducting now
are meant II teach conversational
French as it is spoken in Paris"
