Moldiere. alarmed by that new ten-
dency which might submerge reason
and common onse, produced "Les
emmes Savantes."
The learned women are represented
in this play by: Philaminte, the moth-
ar, a pedantic, ambitious and domi-
necring Juno, Bclise, her sister-in-
law, a ridiculously affected old maid,
who is convinced that all men are in
love with her, but forbids them to de-
-lare their pa4.sion, and Armande, the
elder daughter, sarcastic, dry, haughty
who tries to follow in the steps of her
mother and who, though attracted to-
wards the high spheres of spiritual
vulture, cannot reconcile herself to
the fact that her younger sister, Hen-
riette, should marry her former suitor,
whom she had rejected, the handsome
and proud Clitandre.
A series of events, disclosing one of
Henriette's suitors as a fortune-
hunter, ends the play in a suitable
marriage for Henriette.

Mr. William's experience of being

the benefit of the working classes. He!
