The Look in French Faces.

Almost all the faces about these crowded tables (in the case at Chalonß) —young or old, plain or handsome, distinguished or average—have the same look of quiet authority; it is as though all “nervosity,” fussiness, little personal oddities, meanness and vulgarities, had been burned away In a great flame of self-dedication. It is a wonderful example of the rapidity with which purpose models the human countenance. —Edith Wharton in Scribner’s Magazine.
