France Has Absorbed
Many Strains of Blood

France is called a Latin country,
but little save the language and some
customs are really left over from Ro.
man times. Racially, there is no Eu~
ropean people more mixed. Two.thirds
OF the jewellers in ancient Gaul were
Celts. the rest we're Feutonic Franks.
This Celto-Teutonic admixture in
the last 2,000 years has absorbed Ro-
mans from all parts of that hetero-
geneous empire; pure Celts, in Brit
tany; Scandinavian Normans, in the
Seine Valley; Teutonic Flemings and
Wailoons, in the north; Teutons, in
Lorraine and Alsace; Italians, in Nice
and Savoy; Greeks and Arabs, on the
Mediterranean coast; Spaniards and
Basques, in the Pyrenees; English and
Scotch, in the southwest, which was
held by English kings for more than
a century,
After the Napoleonic War came
many Poles. Before 1914 Swiss, Ger
man and Belgian immigrants were be-
Ing quickly assimilated Such facts
augur well for the present undigested
contingents of Italians, Russians,
Czechs and Poles. There is talk, new
ertheless, of establishing, in the near
future, quota system similar to that
In force In the United States.

Some way l felt that everything
have in the world to cling to was
going out Of my life.
You must have thought that was
very unappreciative of your kindness
and friendship as | had nothing to
say when you were leaving your
friends for a long journey with tho
possibility Of never returning.
Dear sgd, my heart was too full.
have not so many friends that
could let my best one go without /,
wrench that would tear my heart
strings.
y Do you know, Sydney Carton, what
you have been to me?
Let me tell you.
You were the one person, man or
woman, who, after my baby came
gave me desire to live. You arc
the only man in all my life that
have really trusted. You have made
me believe in human goodness. You
have brought back my faith in God
All the time you were sitting there
in my little drawing room at tho
Plaza, probably thinking l had grow,
hard and callous, was trying to
open my breaking heart so l could
talk to you. But. could only feel
its hurt. ! could not speak Of it.
