Curious About Americans,
But Daunted by Numbers

A few members of the club came
and went during the summer. There
were generally about ten there. They
showed the liveliest curiosity about
'les Americaines." but seemed daunted
by the numbers. Many Of them
spoke some English. and were very
grateful II one talked with them, but
as most of us were there especially
for French the poor things didn't get
much chance. but mostly listened to
our more or less lame and hating
conversation. Personally, I found
most Of them very agreeable, and
finding that I didn't mind being
laughed at, and really liked being cor
rected. they laughed and corrected
with the greatest freedom. They and
madame talked incessantly at meals,
and I have never heard any converse
ton so sparkling and so quick. 1t was
like listening to corks popping: and
they apparently were able to keep 1t
up indefinitely. Angio-Saxons run
down after a time, but they never
seem to.
We went often to the theater, see
ing some modern plays, but mostly
tho classics, because the teachers and
students 1 knew best had always
dreamed OF hearing Corneille. Racine,
Molierc, &C., at the Comedie Fran
caise. and they knew all the plays
thoroughly. They all began at and
never ended till nearly midnight. /

The Coincide Franchise was crowded
with '1ittio pcople"--trades people,
work people---who not only listened

In Nonsense Land the trees are blue

And all the scenery is grand;
The mountains stand upon their peaks
And stay that way for weeks and weeks
While rivers streams and brooks and creeks
Run up the hills in Nonsense Land!

They shun the airy atmosphere.

When you remember that they live
On quiddle pounded through sieve
Which has flavor fugitive
But loses vigor when it's canned
In Nonsense Land is wealth immense
For though Of course they have no cents
The dollars grow with speed intense
on trees that sprout on every hand,
But all the cash is counterfeit
So no one ever uses it.
Which seems particularly fit
To those who live in Nonsense Land.
In Nonsense Land love takes its course,
Beginning often with divorce
And then comes marriage, then perforce
Comes courtship last-for thus It's planned;

And men are jailed for IL, at times
