n.sls. March N-What Is bohemian
In the Latin Quarter bohemian is
lingerer by the way. Devoting himself
TO art or learning he comes to prefer
tho pleasures Of the journey to the triumph
Of arriving at his destination.
Again the bohemian's motto is: Give
me the luxuries OF life; and will do without
the neceesaries." In his search for LIES
Injuries at the expense OF its necessaries
the bohemian Is capable Of self-denial to
the point of heroism. A student OF medi-
cine of nine years standing as he proudly
puts It, speaks thus Of the first years OF his
career when he and his companions learned
TO be bohemians.
Five of them had a common purse. One
received his allowance from home in the
beginnings Of January. April, July and
October. A second got his In February.

had their money monthly. Yet there were
