13 THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAtf, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 28, 1902. ENGLISH LIFE IN PARIS THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING COLONY AT THE FRENCH CAPITAL. To a. Greater Extent Than Any Other Foreign Contingent There It Pre serves Its Individuality. The English and American colony Is by far the largest of all the foreign colonies In Paris, and though English and Amer ican people certainly love and appreciate Paris the most, they are probably of all strangers -within our gates those who live the most apart from their French neigh bors, -whom they never understand' and whoso life they never assimilate, says a writer In the London Leader. It is probably owing to the fact of their non adaptibllity to exterior influences and their usual lack of moral and mental as similation that Englishmen make such admirable colonists. They take with them everywhere their own habits and customs, and whatever spot of ground they inhabit in the whole wide world, be it in a civilized country or among barbarians, that spot then becomes Eng land because Englishmen live there. The same remark does not, however, apply to the Americans, who are much more as similative. In Paris, for Instance, the rich American residents eventually, though by degrees, merge into French life. Of course, it must be taken Into account that the separation between the Anglo-Saxon colonies and the people of Paris Is owing at least as much to the excluslveness of the French as to the nonadaptablllty of the Saxon element. The French bourgeois looks upon the English or American set tler with distinct distrust. As France is the music hall of the world, the good bourgeois thinks that the stranger has come to amuse himself at the Moulin Rouge or at Maxim's, and does not admit him to his familiar hearth even when he comes armed with letters of introduction. Besides the class of rich Americans who come to reside in Paris for a few years there Is another class of Anglo-Saxon res identsboth English and American which Is by far the most interesting. I speak of those who consider Paris the great Alma Mater of art, and come to study. Large numbers of English and American stu dents settle in Paris for three or four years in the pursuit of some art music, singing, painting, sculpture and architect ure being the principal subjects studied by them. They cdme for work alone, and not to go into society. The men some times have French comrades, who live the outdoor life of the French student and entertain their Anglo-Saxon friends at the cafes and beer rooms of the cap ital, but do not take them into their homes. As for the women students, who live alone in lodgings, pensions, or small furnished flats, living a free, Bohemian life, they very rarely make friends among French girls, because their free mode of existence strikes terror Into the hearts of French parents. I have known many English and American girl students who have lived in Paris during their student days, three or four years, and who have even Anally settled here, who have never had a single French woman friend. But, although they keep very much to them selves, forming a class apart, they are none the less merry for that, and they enjoy with keen relish all the advantages of what might be called exterior Paris, such as the museums, the large, free state schools, the cheap art schools, the cates, etc., which are open to the stranger as well as to the French resident. There are great numbers of Anglo-Saxon students in the architectural schools and in the ateliers of the Beaux Arts, and all the free lectures given in connection with the establishment are free to students of all nationalities. At the Sorbonne all those lectures which are not specially re served for those who have already "taken a preliminary degree are also free and open to all, and, indeed, there is a spe cial series of lectures at the Sorbonne which have been organized for the bene fit of foreign students only, for Paris welcomes the youth of all countries to the educational advantages which she of fers to her own sons, and the finest and most celebrated professors of the world at the Sorbonne, in the schools of art, etc., give their services and the benefits of their wonderful teaching free gratis and for nothing, and to one and all alike. The colony of Anglo-American students is scattered all over Paris, but principally In the Latin Quarter, where most of the schools and ateliers are to be found. There are two or three endowed homes for English girl students, but the ma jority prefer to live In cheap lodgings, and very often two or three of them club ' together and set up a small establishment of their own. If they are to reside some time in Paris, they take a low-rented flat somewhere in the vicinity of Montpar nasse, furnish It cheaply, and generally either do their own housework or have a woman servant In for a few hours a day, who keeps the house clean and pre pares them their breakfast. Their other meals they take at small restaurants or at creameries, where they go together In groups. Some of these establishments cater for this special class of customer. and the eating-house assumes the propor tions of a club, where English-speaking students meet and discuss their art over their simple meals. Here you can get a luncheon or dinner for 1 franc 50 centimes, or 1 franc 75 centimes, consisting of a hors d'oeuvre or a plate of soup, a plate of meat and vegetables, a small piece of cheese and a cup of black coffee. Some times even you can get red wine as well, Girl students whose means are limited can get a furnished room In the Latin Quarter for 40 francs a month; when two or three friends club together and take a flat, the general lodging expenses, includ ing the servant's wages and concierge's fee, generally work out at about the same figure per head. But even when it comes to a little more than that, the advantages of more freedom and Independence have to be considered. HE- KNEW DICKENS. Wallace Yates Recalls Incidents In Life of the Novelist. BALLSTON, Or., Dec. 22. (To the Edi tor.) The recent death of George Dolby, long-time manager for Charles Dickens, recalls some incidents which may be of interest to those who are eager for anec dotes in which public men figure. When I was a boy our family resided just across the road from the residence of George Dolby, in a suburb of a town in, the West of England immortalized by Pope. One Summer', about 1SG7, I think, Mr. Dickens came down for a few days' visit to the Dolbys, bringing with him a little black Danish pony, no larger than a Shetland, as a present for Dolby's eld est boy. The boy was too young to man age th'e pony, which was unbroken, so It was" turned Into my brother's pasture, which was partly in orchard. The little fellow was quite gentle, apparently, so, boylike, I jumped on his back one day without bridle or halter. But he darted off at full speed, I holding to the mane, until Ignomlniously swept off his back by a sturdy apple limb under which the pony darted. y I well remember seeing Mr. Dickens sit ting on the lawn with the Dolby family, the few evenings he was there, usually with one of the children on. his knee. For some years following that "hallowed" lawn was the regular croquet ground for us young folks. George Dolby married Marian Ursula Moes, daughter of the church organist In that same town. She was a singer of ex ceptional ability, who, before marriage, sung in concerts in many English cities. The Moss family were all accomplished musicians. WALLACE YATES.
