A French novelist; born at Paris, May 1, 1862. His first story, "The Scorpion" (1887), the tragic history of a clerical tutor in a Jesuit school, made a deep impression because of the fine psychological insight and intimate knowledge of the priestly life it displayed. It was followed by "Our Helpmate: Provincials and Parisiennes" (1885); "Chonchette" (1888); "Mlle. Jaufre" (1889), perhaps his best work; "Cousin Laura: Stage Morality" (1890); "A Lover's Confession" (1891); "Women's Letters" (1892); "A Woman's Autumn" (1893); "The Mill at Nazareth" (1894); "The Demi-Virgins" (1894); "More of the Women's Letters" (1894); "Abbot Pierre".
