Mr. and Mrs. Miller and their six-year-old son, Kit, have spent the past year at Roc-en-Fleurs in le Gue du Loir, south of Paris. She is the former Elaine Sherwood. Mr. Miller, who studied art at the University of Oregon, is painting in France. This is the couple's second stay in Europe. Young Kit has been attending a French public school. Mrs". Miller wrote: "The fete at school. Kit was to arrive at 2:30 Sunday afternoon - a half hour early to allow for the costume, etc. We arrived at 3 because we had to wait for Francis who was having his hair cut and hadn't had lunch yet. Postman-Barber "Out here the postman is the barber and since he is busy wjth the mail every other day, he cuts hair Sun day morning, and since there was the affair at the school, that day the children and par ents must have lined up for hours waiting their turns. "Anyway, Francis got clipped at 2 and we were late -but the first to arrive! About 3:30 pjn. the curtain finally rose and what a curtain! It is painted on light canvas, but someone had succeeded in making it look very much like red velvet hanging in great swaths with gilt cords. "One of the old men of Mazange there are 8 or 10 who assist at every public affair in some official capacity -pulls the curtain (sometimes revealing himself behind the scenes) at a signal: three great blows with a heavy stick on the back stage door. "The first act was the older children singing, very nice after that the little ones were revealed in shorts, skin, leis, and much rouge. They danced to a sort of Hawaiian-ish re cording that my neighbor identified as "une danse des Negres" (one's neighbor was very close since we were packed under shelter-it rained steadily all day until the fete was finally over-along planks set up on saw horses). "There followed in not quite rapid enough succession more songs, a drawing for prizes (Vz dozen eggs, Vz pound butter, bottles of wine, toilet soap, etc., contributed by the parents who also bought tickets, of course), two short farces and finally-next to last-Kit's dance. Hat On Ears "It was the best received piece all day, . thanks to a little boy whose bowler rest ed on his nose and turned down ears. Kit turned in a faultless performance,- men aced only once by HIS hat which stuck at the last minute when he came forward to make his bow at the edge of NOW IS THE TIME!

The children were mostly 10-ish and all did well. "The real purpose of the fete is to give the year's 'prizes.' Everyone (nearly) passes to another class-probably in the same room-and certificates for those who pass the National Examinations (14 year olds) are awarded. Not this year as the only three 14 year olds did not pass. "For every student there is a book suitable to his years and reading ability, and a buss.' The mayor (one of the 'old men') and the board of education (the other old man) were seated on the stage and as the teacher called their names each child climbed or was lifted up on the stage, accepted his book and brioche from one of the seated of ficials, for which he kissed the old man on both cheeks. "Again, Kit was nearly last because he is in the beginning class, and much to our sur prise, went smoothly through the ceremony, including the kissing, without hesitation. He never has felt different from the other children and I'm sure he passed unnoticed by all-even his name isn't too foreign sounding. "Finally, the Mazange band (some of the 'old men' again, mixed with a younger group) played for awhile, and closed -still in the rain-with the Marseillaise, which still seems to me "the most moving nation al anthem, but to which no body seems to pay much at tention. I thing it was 7:30 when we got home. "Since then we've had 14 July, too. The same old men -same band (one says :"fan fare' for 'band' here to dis tinguish it from orchestra) but this time there were foot races, etc., in the square in front of the church. Wins Prize "Kit won second prize in his race and received a box of cookies. The last event in the day was the best, everyone agreed. One man pulls a car, with his partner inside, at full tilt toward a structure that resembles a little guillotine but has a wooden pail of water balanced on top. "If the man in the car can put a long pole through a ring attached to the pail carefully enough, he can slip the ring out and win a prize. If he misses by a hair he gets soaked to the skin. Many were soaked but a few won prizes. "Again the band played and we were home by 8:30. In the evening Dr. Richard had a modest firework display, augmented by M. St. Marc's explosions, and some pretty flares that Jean Richard brought from Paris."
