PAGEANTS IN
FRANCE

IF YOU should happen upon the
town of Douia, near Lille,
France, during the second week
in July. the chances are that you
would forget for a day or two
that you had grown up. For it
is between the dates Of July 8
and II that the Fete de Gayant
takes place.
Now Gayant has long been
revered as the father of his
famous family and as the leader
of the gleeful procession which
features the festivities. But it
would be no festival without the
madame and the three children,
particularly baby Mile. Therese.
This younge9t of all the GayaAts
is only eight feet tall, and is
called Little Binbin" by the
children, who eagerly await her
appearance. She wears a round
cap and a white pinafore and
capers about with childish aban-
don amusing the little folks of
the town.
To come down to facts. pere
Gayant is twenty-five feet tall
and his ladye-faire is twenty-five
feet. They are both made of
wicker and are gorgeously ar
rayed.
Gayant is attired in medieval
armor and on his head wears a
helmet with a long plume. From
head to waistline Gayant is man.

But from the waist down, a huge
petticoat. overlaid in front with

of the procession. Then comes

brocaded gown and further beau

belong to what archaeologists call

they date back ten thousand

The lover who has TO wait for

What no modern man seems
to understand is, that, in order
to be convincing, lover, like
a good actor, must put his heart
into his role, at least for the
evening.
Of course, woman knows
more about human nature, than
a man does; because, naturally,
she can see through her own
