The difference is fundamental, since
it is the difference between the Puri
tan and the Cavalier, between auster
and gallantry, between repression
and expression, between the concep
tion of lif as a dreary round of
duties and the conception of life as
an inspiriting succession of oppor
tunities,
The French husband possesses an-
other faculty that goes far toward
making the rough places smooth in
matrimonial existence, namely a mar
velous fund of gayety that is made up
in about equal parts of esprit and of
animal spirits. In default of passion
ate affection he offers his eompan-
fon the most sprightly and engaging
sort of camaraderie, which is the next
best thing. Even when indifferent,
sontimentally apeaking, he fs still
vastly entertaining; still capable of
being the best of dally company,
thanks of his cheerful philosophy,
which bids him make the most =f
life as he finds it, and to a winning
playfulness of manner which comes
as naturally as breathing to him.
In sum, the Frenchman is not a
model husband, but he la an adorable
