80 begin her lecture on the art treas
ures of Paris and how we should strive
to utilize cur time"
This pension lies in the heart of that
new and rich quarter of Paris which
has come to be called American. In
Paris all the houses are apartment
houses. Here they are handsome and
regular about six stories high. They
are built of n creamy-whitc stone, so
soft when it is first quarried that it
may be carved with II pcnknife Ex
posure to the weather hardens and
dnrkens it, and the blue-gray haze of
Paris spring autumn and winter
weather gives it n yet more sober hue.
There is great regularity in height,
construction and decoration, which
conduces to the dignity of the
streets One of the special marks
OF these houses is the ever-present
iron and stone balcony around the
windows of the first floor tour second
or third floor. and often on each floor
above. These are the airing places OF
the denizcns. Below it is the asphalt
sidewalk and the asphalt street, on
which the apartment houses wide and
high portes-cocheres yawn throughout
the daytime.

Prompted by the feeling that it

the ladies sigh with pleasure.
The life in such a pension has neither
beginning, end, nor middle. The
most diverse Americans find II easy TO
tolerate each other, for one Is here to-
day and gone tomorrow. Pretentious
people, who would like to crush en-
thusiasm and innocence, find no lever
age on which to use their strength.
Madame, the wife of the proprietor, is
n woman of fine presence, with an mir
OF dignity tempered with good will.
When some experienced old maid, the
scourge of European pensions for
twenty years, begins her harangue
against the breezy ways OF some of
these American girls in their first days
of Continental living, madame has her
answer ready: Il find the young girls
charming. They are unaffected and
think no evil. prefer them to diff
cult women."

Among these varying establishments
the neart of the American abroad will

somewhat surprised to find that there

with them was, Is II dangerous com
