French Readings.

The Second Reading in the Course, for the benefit of the French Department Libraries in Sever Hall and the Annex, will be given at Fay House (Harvard Annex) at half past four o'clock this afternoon. Professor Bocher will read Les Preieusese Ridicules.

The subject for the third reading, to be given next week by Professor de Sumichrast, will not be Le Village, as announced, but Le mariage sumbolique, by Emile Bergerat, and Le Pater by F. Coppee. The latter play was interdicted, for political reasons, on the eve of its performance at the Theatre Francais: the former is an amusing satire on the fads of the Symbolist School.
