A FRENOH VISITOR

OA French visitor praises 'London
as the world capital of a vigorous
middle class.)
'Nowhere does one feel more anony-
tnou's, more d'i'luted in immensity. The
image of the city gives the impres-
sion that at is not a city at alt but a
province..af you have to go some-
where you frequently find that your
friend tells you, 'I't is just around the
corner.' `But you need half an hour in
automobile toget there and reflect
that Paris is : only a village in com-
parfson,
'Birt Paris is not a v'il'lage; Paris is
really a city. London, on the contrary,
'with its little ,cottages, its tittle cot-
tages, and its little cottages, !afen
gives the impression' o'f being a ail
lage, an endless 'vil'lage. Life is dif-
'fused- here, yet at the same - time
everything is concentrated. Nor is
this the lea's't important contradiction

lives on contradictions 'tih'at. it 'does

season, would seem to doont the Brit-
ish /Empire to extinction,' iIthe'French
intelligence has great difficulty in ex-
plaining or even conceiving w'ha't goes
to make up the miraculous solidity
of this immense empire of glass.
There are no two mentalities more
different ,than the English a :red the
French, no tlwo philosophies, no two
p'atriotism's, no two humors that stand
in sharper contrast, and there are no
two c!'ties that strike you as being so
differeint as London and Paris. But
perhaps this very difference is what
arouses: our reciprocal astonishment
and attaches us so 'strongly to each
other. There are no two, nations bet-
ter made to get along together an
love each other without understand
ing each other.
The impression of paradoxical sol
idity which canaaot be explained in
words but which you feel every in -
scant and wJic'h has' ' been anchored,
in the heart of all Englishmen for
centuries strikes you long before you,
