Why l'orelunem Understiiiid the I'reniili So I.lttle They llute llottteit and Iitp Thrill, Too, Kell TIliMluh 1 hey Have No .Saino for llinne. Looking ut I'arln, tttiil culling it l'runcc, is tho great mistako which mast of our would bo critics nmke. This wns perhaps never tnoro forcibly illustrated than on Suudity, thu UUth of Jntiunry, 1883, from thu pulpit in tho Brooklyn Tubcrnnclu. "Show mo tho dross of u peoplu, iiml I will tell you wlmt their nioruls tiro," ox claimed tho fatuous Itcv. Dr. Tnlmngo. Ah it wns ovU'rvnt.froin what hud gontt before, that tho iomtoiuI tloetor wmi going to speak of France, n vision of my country people reuse to my inind'M ojo. I thought of the indiibtriotis, orderl, ir tttoiiH, folK.'r, thrifty millioiiH tho men in their always btiltnblo clothing, m oi aping that of tho clasa aloo; the worn en in their simple" costumes, w lilch whether tltoso of tho picturoMino 13ou lognoor Grnuvlllo fish when, tho peas ants of Normandy, Hrlttany, Burgundy, I'icardy, Champagne, or tho (south, aro always models of neatness, simplicity and suitability, from tho crown of tho plcfurcsqtio cap to tho solo of tho strong, sensible shoo I then remembered tho trim little seamstress, milliner, dress maker, or shopgirl, in her natty dress, brightened up by a pretty bonnet on Sunday, but never decked with cheap Imitations of what her employers wear. There was a grand illustration of tho point the roverend doctor wanted to make. Did he use it? Not hot Passing oter tho great country and the people who should represent France, ho goes to Paris cosmopolitan town, whero tho good or bad tastes of visitors, aye, and oven their vices, aro catered to and calling Its Inhabitants Tho French, ho proceeded to censuto them, aud la mented that their eccentricities in tlross should be followed by thu women of other countries He passed over tho fact that, in tho best Parisian society, when n lady's street dress calls foith tho highest admiration, that admiration is invariably expressed by such words ns: "How exquisitely simple!" Wns not this n lino opportunity thu doctor neglected of giving n hint to his countrywomen? When, copied in vilo stull and unnr tistic colors by clumsy fingers, the crea tions of Parisian milliners reappear all over tho world, they aro often eccentric enough, 1 admit another form of French as slio is "traduced" and it is no won der that reverend doctors aro found to frown on them: they shock none more than the French themselves. - After nil, I suppose it is little wonder that outsiders should know so llttlo of tho French. French life is bo, bo exclu sive! Tho passing isitor to our shores gets no opportunity to judge of his host's real character. As a nation wo are not hospitable, I am sotry to say. A stranger w ill meet w 1th politeness and attention ns lie tnnels through our country, eerybody will help him, and if hu tippoat s in Paris armed with letters of introduction, he will bo tnttdu wel come nt bocial gatherings; parties may be given in his honor perhaps; but, go whero hu may throughout tho country, ho will not have a ehaneo of penetrating into tho inner family circle. The home life of the bulk of tho peoplu w ill remain a closed letter for him. On the other hand, modem literaturu is of llttlo or no uso in the case either, for most of our novelists do not descrlbo every day life. Tlioy describe tho excep tion. A picturo of middle class life that is to say, tho existence by the largest part of tho communitj is too lieaceful, uneventful, humdrum if jou will, to at tract tho novel writer or to please tho novel reader. Our manners debar him from drawing scenes from the birth nnd growth of tholoo that ends in matri mony romance only begins' after the I'inrriuge ceremony is oer and the French novelist turns too oft n to tho portrayal of illicit loto. Because ho does so is no reason tor in terring that this kind of loois mote common in Franco than clsow here. A Ualzao may charm with ptctutes of com monplace peoplu and their doing; but to tho ordinary novel writing pen a inoiiug Ltlo of passion is a nece&sity. So, raro examples of unholy passion nro seized uiron as groundwork for much French llction, aud tho foreigner reads and ex claims: "Tliis is a picturo of French life!" But it is not. Tho foreigner runs away with tho Idea that he knows us; but ho does not, and his criticisms on us, of which ho is so lavish, aro worthless. Tho bebt critics France has hud have been Frenchmen. It is to them that w e must turn for tine portraits of the French But to return to our foreign critics. I was not greatly surprised, oncoming to America, to hear that home lifo haul ly existed in France. I hud heard that before. And tho overpowering reason advanced to prove this statement was that time honoicil Anglo-Saxon "Chest nut:" Tho Fiench language has no equivalent foi tho Fnglisli word home. How glib is tho criticism of tho ignor ant! To ieel tho w hole meaning of those sweet vvords, chez soi, chez nous, onn must know the language- they form part of. The call up in French limits all tho tender feelings evoked by the word homo in the Anglo-Saxon breast How main Fuglish or Ameiiean peo ple have un inkling of their value.' Do the care to know that some hun dred )ctus luck the Fiench ued to sa) en chez(fiom thol-atin incasa.nl home), and that the word chez was a noun? JACQUES that later on they took to adding it pro noun, saving, for example, enchezuous; ami that thu people, mistaking tho word chez for a proposition, because It was al ways followed lv a noun or a pronoun, suppressed the on, so that now the Fiench language has lost n noun for home, but has kept it word, chez, which to this oiy day lias all its significance? What an Idea of snugness, happiness, is convened by tho llttlo sentence, restons chez nous, on thu lips of n jouug couple, though their chez nous may but represent thu most modest of abodes! Whata delight ful titlo chez nous would bo for a llttlo volume containing sketches of tho lifo of a happy mm ried couple! Home life unknown in Fiance! Why, the mistake is ouu of tho most glaring ever made. There is no inoio homo lov ing, homo abiding creatine on earth than thu Frenchman. The veiy narrow nest of tho Prune h is tho result of their contentment with home; for they aro natrow, it must bo ad mitted, prov luclal to thu highest degree Yes, thu French ato essentially home lov ing. Aud their morality, so often iin pugued l Ignorant critics, who Hud it easier to upeiit idlu nonsense than to btud.v for themselves, will bear favoi able compaiison with that of unj nation, In cluding the l(Kik-how-good-I-nm (ileal Britain. Of this 1 am convinced fiom the depths of nn soul, But vvu are happy, and caiu not a jot what iiuptession wo make. You will never hear a Frenchman ask n foreigner "Now, what elo jou think of us?" Wo nover trouble to show our lie-st sidi) to tho foielgner This is w bat mis leads completely so manj outsiders In France, tho vice that tliero Is, Is on the surface for over) ono to wee It Is all open to every looker on. there is very little hidden. What tliero Is, that 3011 bee. No slightest elTort is made to hide defects In comes the I'hglishmnii or tho American, and forgetting tho cnio fully hidden vice which exists, aud with u vengeance, in his own great towns, cries out upon the Immotality of Paiis I w III go ho far as to say that, in France, there is not even so much vice as there appears to be Let me explain 111 self. Far from attempting to hideotir faults, we, as a matter of fact, often make show of those wo havonot The Fieiichman is the binggart of vice. If jou say to an englishman: "I know jou area virtuous man," he will think jou only give him his duo. If jou were to pay the same compliment to 11 Frenchman ho would resent it. Like thu Anglomaniacs repre sented in that charming Ameiicnu com cdy by Mr. Ilionson Howard, "Tho Hen rietta," "each fellow," in Franco, "wants every other fellow to believe that ho is a devil of a fellow but hu isn't." Reduced to literaturu for a means of knowing something of tho real French character read, then, thosu French writ ers who portray tho homo life of tho peoplu (for, after all, wu have a few who do), not those who build up ex travagant tales of passion, from the ma terials every nation will alTord to thosu who go in for sensational novels. Would you judge tho Liighsh people bv tho works of "Ouidn"or Miss Hhoda Brough ton? Take rather tho w riters who, with only the uneventful lives of ordinary French people as material, have suc ceeded in giving to thu world tho most charming novels For delightful pictures of high life, go to (Justave Droz and Octavo Feuillet. Bead Cheibuliez aud LMmond Alsnit. If jou would know what brave, honest folk our peasantry aro, tuin to Frekmanii-Clintrian. These aro the teallj1 popular authois in France. My own conviction is that tho objec tionable liooks published in Franco aro tnoro patroni.od by foreigners than by thu French thumsolv os, for 1 bcldom come across, among mj French friends, a man who has read them. M. Zola's books are read, I admit, but not for tho same rea son as they uro read in England. Hero thej sell ns objectionable looks; in Franco they sell as tho works of a transcendant artist. Wo read Zola's too olten repul sive details for the saku of thu masterlj genius displujcd in tho handling. No body, 1 imagine, reads Shakespeare or tho Bible for the sako of manv lllthy pas sages. None the less every man of tasto regrets tho prostitution of such a genius as Zola's to such an unworthy cause. An undergraduate was complaining to 1110 ono day tliut no good French modern novel could bo obtained at Oxford. "All vv e can Hud in the I rencli department of our booksellers," he b.iid, "are thu works of M. Zola. There nro piles of 'La Teite.'" "Well, mj dear sir," I Intel rupted, 'doesit not btnko jou that booksellers aro tradesmen, and that they of courso keep tho articles that arc wanted? If tliero was no demand for 'La Torre,' there would bo no supply, and jou would not seo piles of tho book." Tho manager of a great French book belling linn in London told 1110 onco that his Arm alone had received orders for more than ton thousand copies of 'La Torre" in England. I don't vv ish to get up a caso against the Fnglish people. Judgo for yoursolv es. I hnvu stated facts. I assert that, to those who will look at us without bias, wo must nppcar in our true light the happiest and most homu loving people among modern nations. The Fienchman'H wife aud children are his adoiation The former is his friend and confidante, who thorotighlj enters into his aims nnd nspliatious, aud knows to a franc the amount of his ac count in the bank.
