flavor.
Three organizations, at least.
numbering on their club rolls some
Of Washington's most prominent
society folk, are meeting regularly,
talking in French and studying the
literature of Americas allies in the
late world war.
Their activity is attracting con-
siderable interest because Of the
fact that, aside from providing con-
tact with the few French and Bel
gians residing here, they are
enabling many of Washington's late
war heroes to carry on and improve
their A. Z. F. French.
Most active among these organi-
cations is lie Cercle des Precieuses
Ridicules." This society meets reg
ularly every two weeks at the
homes of its members. 1t is a
gathering where Capital society
meets with French and Belgian ele-
ments here-and with A. E. F. vet

of the mo-. UnUsLaI records of any
