 During the sixteenth century, the Fleur-de-lis of France sym- bolized a goldenMjfcge of beauty, culture, and power. Graceful ar- chitecture and sumptuous interior combined to give the Frenchman a regal home. Silk;- and damasks framed by rich polished wood were thought to be ||n only worthy background lor gentle fragrances and ethereal Bongen. Stylized gardens, fastidious dress, and carefully fashion jewelry showed the meticulous taste of the times. The Frenchman's lo e for his possessions was only equaled by pride in the wealth that was his. Battle was to him a vital her- itage. and his chi alrous nature led him to gratify his thirst for combat. He could kill with a nicety seldom equaled, or shrug when his vivid velvflE eeame soaked with blood. He tarried his country’s flag to our sHores with- out a qualm. The influence of his French spirit softened the prime- val land and helped it to assume some of the golden elegance of the Lilies of France.
