Lest all French Masons should be condemned as equally heterodox, I hasten to add that one of the two governing bodies, the Grand Lodge of Irance, practises the Scottish Rite and is entirely independent of the Grand Orient. A Lodge of English speaking Masons, the "Anglo Saxon," was founded in Paris two years ago, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge, and has proved remarkably successful. It is worked on strictly Knglish lines, eschews all political and religious questions, and has never had to complain of any interference on the part of the parent body. It is eon more cosmopolitan than the Shanghai Lodges, six nationalities being represented amongst its members. Its present Senior Warden was initiated in the Northern Lodge of China.
