The direc- torate has been established and Barras is at it ; head. The characters are semi-historical. The heroine is a charming flower girl, called Clairette, daughter of the famous Madame Angot, who has been educated Letter than most of her associates and has been adopted as “child of the market.” A marriage with Pomponnet, a hairdresser, has been arranged for her against her will, for she is in love with Ange Pitou, a satirist and writer of political songs, who is continually getting into trouble on account of his revolutionary effusions.

Pomponnet loudly protests her inno- cence and says that Ange Pitou is the author of the verses. Mile. Lange already knows of this Ange Pitou, and is not unmindful of his charms. He has been invited to her pres- ence and comes while Clairette is present, and the interview is marked with more than cor- diality. The jealous Larivandiere appears meantime, and to, clear herself, Mile. Lange declares that Ange Pitou and Clairette are lovers and have come to the house to join in a meeting of conspirators to be held at mid- night.
