Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parisian Points of View To most American readers of fiction I fancy that M. Ludovic Halevy is known chiefly, if not solely, as the author of that most charming of mod ern French novels, Tfie Abbé Convex/11m. Some of these readers may have disliked this or that novel of M. Zola's because of its bad moral, and this or that novel of M. Ohnet's because of its bad taste, and all of them were delighted to discover in M. Halevy's interesting and artistic work a story writ ten by a French gentleman for young ladies. Here and there a scoffer might sneer at the tale of the old French priest and the young women from Can ada as innocuous and saccharine; but the story of the good Abbé Constantin and of his nephew, and of the girl the nephew loved in spite of her Amer ican millions - this story had the rare good-fortune of pleasing at once the broad public of indiscrimi nate readers of fiction and the narrower circle of real lovers of literature. Artificial the atmosphere of the tale might be, but it was with an artifice at once delicate and delicious; and the tale itself won its way into the hearts of the women of. America as it had into the hearts of the women of France. There is even a legend - although how solid a foundation it may have in facti do not dare to dis cuss - there is a legend that the lady-superior of a certain convent near Paris was so fascinated by 2716 Abbé Constantin, and so thoroughly convinced of the piety of its author, that she ordered all his other works, receiving in due season the lively vol umes wherein are recorded the sayings and doings of Monsieur and Madame Cardinal, and of the two lovely daughters of Monsieur and Madame Cardi nal. To note that these very amusing studies of certain aspects of life in a modern capital origi nally appeared in that extraordinary journal, La Vie Pam'siezme - now sadly degenerate - is enough to in dicate that they are not precisely what the good lady-superior expected to receive. We may not say that [a Famille Cardinal is one of the books every gentleman's library should be without; but to appreciate its value requires a far different kn owl edge of the world and of its wickedness than is needed to understand T /ia Abbé Constanfz'rz.
