Always anxious to see America, they were persuaded, this year, to come over to visit ,some of the friends they had known in Paris who were anxious to repay their charming hospitality. Very French It was indeed charming and so are they charming. Jacqueline, whom we saw first when she came, brimming over with kind ness and sympathy, to see us at the American Hospital in Paris, is tall and has the French high coloring, vibrant dark hair, and lively enthusiastic manner.

Forests every where, and so beautiful. And your houses are lovely: so much pret tier than the French houses, and inside they are furnished with such simple charming taste:” She made a sweeping gesttire; “We in Europe have NO IDEA of this side of American life!” she said. Said Yvonne: “We thought it would be nothing but flat plains and factories until you reach the Rocky moimtains!” They spoke of the beauty of No Basis Found For Trespass Charge H. R.

This matter of the car and also the size of our houses and their arrangement led to a different phase of American life: the fam ily. “Your families are not nearly as united as our French families,” they said. In France, they said, families do things together. They have family parties to the restau rants or the theatre; they go on their holidays together. It is un heard of in France, apparently, for children to go off to camps or the seashore, as they do here, also “One will hope” she said, “that the great heeirt of America will not be killed by the hardness of the head: that the poetic spirit will not be lost.” We told her a good many Amer icans were hoping that, too.
