souled woman would be hard TO find. No
people love children and music and laugh
ter more than the Italians.
love the French. They have the SUI
preme instinct for the two things that most
enrich lfe--taste and JOY. My sister used
to say that If she had to be born again
she would want to be born in France And
there is another saying which many appre-
ciate, that every man has two native lands
his own and France.
