The Am. | hassador b found Americans very | sympathetic, especially from the cul- tural standpoint as much as from the politicai and economic. This Spanish building, which is a replica of homes Which are reproduced in scores of the cities of the Peninsula, will no doubt ktrike a new note in the domestie architecture «f this country and lead to the adoption of the genuine types ther than the mixture now pre- sented under the title.

The Duchess d'Uzes has recently been appointed to the office of lisuten- ant_de louverterie, an office created in France in the opening years of the tenth century and continued ever since at least as a civil honor if not an actual duty. This office compels its holder to rid the country of wolves and to provide safety for the shepherds and their flocks. The Auchess is entering her eightieth vear. but she has preserved all the old tradi- tione of the countryside, and though wolves no longer ravage the flock: eold and hunger often assail the shepherds, frequently young children, and they find comfort and a shelter at all seasons in the Chateau de Binnelles, the stronghold of tha Ducs d'Uzes near the royal city of Ram- houillet.
