The Women Of The French Salons Esprios Classics PDF Download

Excerpt from The Women of the Salons: And Other French Portraits But one may well recall the lost mistresses of a lost art. For if they were too often, alas! Corrupt, they were. No more than any other human being, wholly corrupt. When one thinks of them, one must needs think too of a tact and kindliness most womanly and most rare, of hearts not a little generous, of ideals not always base, and of a wit, tenderness, and under standing that must have made social life a witch's charm for care.
