Excerpt from Mémoires d'un Jeune Homme Rangé: Illustrations d'Après les Aquarelles de Hermann-Paul La jeunesse de Daniel Henry se passa alternativement à mépriser les prescriptions de la mode, et à tenter de vains efforts pour s'y conformer. Il employa des années de sa vie à rêver la conquête de ces fantômes insaisissables un chapeau élégant, un col de chemise bien dégagé, un veston bien coupé. Les haut-de forme, si reluisants et séduisants tant qu'ils habitaient le magasin orné de glaces, con tractaient au contact de la tête de Daniel Henry une sorte de maladie de vulgarité Les collets de veston montaient jusqu'à la nuque. Au mépris absolu des cols de chemise, dont 113 ne laissaient plus rien voir. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

journalist lawyer novelist playwright
Born Paul Bernard into a Jewish family on September 7, 1866 in Besançon, Doubs, Franche-Comté, France, he was the son of an architect.
He attended the Lycée Condorcet and later studied law, although he never practiced it.
After a short period in business, he came to Paris where he contributed humorous pieces and sports articles to the Revue Blanche. His writings on sports led to his being named manager of the Vélodrome Buffalo, a bicycle racetrack. Bernard was a boxing enthusiast and later became one of the early supporters of the automobile, writing extensively and humorously about it. In 1895 he had his first play produced, Les Pieds nickelés ("Reluctant Feet"). Bernard scored his first outstanding successes in 1899, on the stage, with L'Anglais tel qu'on le parle ("English as It Is Spoken"), a one-act farce, which has been repeatedly revived since; and, with a novel, Les Mémoires d'un jeune homme rangé ("The Memoirs of an Orderly Young Man"), which appeared first in installments in Le Journal and then in book form. From that time on, he produced a long series of comedies, farces, librettos of operettas, and dramas, in several of which he appeared as an actor. Triplepatte (1905) ("Three-Feet") was originally a tragedy of an indecisive man by Andre Godfernaux, but Bernard rewrote it as a comedy. Bernard's stage works have often been compared to Molière's, while the humor of his novels has been likened to that of Dickens. Bernard died in Paris, December 7, 1947.
