burns last lecture, delivered yesterday
morning, and long before the doctor had
finished his address, the audience real
zed that he had seen more than the
majority OF people who are gifted with
the power of vision. 1t was styled the
fairest city on earth, the millinery shop
of well dressed ladies, the dancing
school of maidens, the dining room Of
of epicureans, the labratory of the sci
enlist, the picture gallery of wit, a con-
gress of nations, capital of lust.
The daily routine of the visitor was
detailed. His early morning cup of
coffee and roll, served in bed, the
breakfast at noon in a model caf
where after the painful ordeal of order
ing meals in Americanized French is
gone through with, the visitor is cafe
ried away amid the charms OF his en-
vironments, until his equanamity is

wild westerner from Arizona who
orders his breakfast in barbaric
fashion, and yet must be acknowledged

High tribute was accorded to the
beauty and grace Of the French girl,
who appears to disadvantage only when
contrasted with the greater charms of
her American sister.
Paris at night was described as a
veritable scene of enchantment but the
underlying cause, the fact that the
Frenchman denies the existence of a
God, claims death to be but an eternal
sleep and hence lives only to enjoy life,

speaker expressed his gratitude that he
lived in land where the fete day of
Paris is Sabbath of rest, and where
wives, sisters and sweethearts enjoy
that esteem and high social place which
is their just due. -v
