our British cousins are badly divided
over the effect that President Roose-

their interests. The London spectator
credits the President with an ideal pro-

The Speaker and Saturday Review on

INTERESTING CAFES TN
 THE LATIN QUARTER
BY MRS. E. c. STEVENS.

Paris. like all cities, has a great many interesting and varied sections, and the average American touring the continent. stopping at the so called American hotels have little chance of studying the charac- teristic phases of foreign life. Life in the Latin quarter Is most interesting and the description of the different cafes and res taurants in the quarter may be interest ing to those contemplating trip to Eu- rope for Paris is the mecca for all Am ericans.
 The Latin quarter of today Is the home of the art students and its centre might be placed at the meeting of Boulevard Montparnasse and Raspail Within min utes walk of this place you will find the favorite haunts of the long haired artist with his flowing black tie, Tam O'Shan- ter and corduroy brooches.
 Boudet's, one of the largest and best of the restaurants. has been enlarged since my first visit there in 1900. The up stairs has been decorated in most artistic style by some student in payment for board There was one most interesting table where six students used to gather representing six nationalities. all speak ing French, and sometimes over their coffee they would break out in song. each one singing in his mother tongue.

rant smaller and more Bohemian. a. bles are placed on the sidewalk and one dimes in the open air, delightful expe- rience.
 The bill of fare at both these places are good. varied and cheap.
 Around the corner is the most charac- teristic plan in the quarter known as "The Creamery" This was a laborer's restaurant at one time but they were busted by the art student with his un- conventional manners. It is small place consisting of three rooms, the first room where the milk Is sold, the second the kitchen, and the third a larger room which will accommodate about dozen. This place is jealously guarded by It's habitues and unless you can stand ridi- cule you had better stay outside. There are a few good caricatures on the wall.
 There is place in the Rue de la Grande Chaurrien, a very nice. clean place kept by Russian exile but not quite so interesting.
 There Is also a place called the White Cat near the Gau Montparnasse and Madame Sophie has no equal in Paris in cooking fish. Here you will always find an interesting group of American artists who have made Paris their home for a number of years.
 Over on the other side of the Luxem- bourg Garden are a large number of cafes and restaurants. One called the Pantteon is famed for the soup Fonion' . s.vcritA soup of the students. The

Masters Direct Students.


 225 direct the education of the numerous students. Their title is sheik. the head master-one selected from the faculty be- cause of his superior knowledge and great holiness-beihg styled Sheik FL Azhar. In the eyes of the faithful he ranks only little below the Khedive himself Few American scholars would be tempted to become members of the faculty for there is no direct compensa- ton from the university. They do, how ever receive liberal allowances of the staff of life especially those of cer- tain degree, who draw several hundred loaves of bread weekly This Is tra- ditional custom. There is a suspicion that many of these loaves fiEd their way to shops outside the walls of El-Azhar, and are sold There are, however, op- rortunities for emolument outside the school At odd hours the masters usually teach at private houses copy books, at tend to the duties of petty office of religious character to which a small sti- pend Is attached, or read the Koran at weddings and funerals. radical thinker among the members of the faculty would soon find himself out of his element, for, while four orthodox sects of Mahometans are represented among the instructors, independence of thought is never found smong them. A teacher advancing new theological views would create more of q sensation in the Mahometan world than ever did an advocate of higher criticism. Progressiveness is discouraged a dan eerous tendency. anod masters and pupils learn only what may be found in books centuries old. Every branch of study IS prevailed with religion.
 Surprising as it may seem, some of the teachers are unabl to read. They know the Koran by heart. and as the study of this is the chief occupation of the juve- nile pupils they supervise the instruction of the youngsters in this branch. The excuse of weak eyes'' suffices If one of the professors of higher grade re- fers him to the book and asks for the reading of the reference.

long boulevard on which this one Is stu- ated is known to the student as Bou Mich, is lined with small cafes. These differ from the restaurants; they are places wrere one goes to drink smoke read and often to write. The cafes are an important element in the life here.
 The favorite drinks are vermouth ab- sinthe, puch with fruit symps. In the summer between the hours of and these tables on the side walk are most inviting, the awnings keeping them cool and shady. At this time they are most crowded and one can spend most pleas ant hour watching the interesting crowds of people, the types of Paris.

Here and there among them sits one wearing green turban, indicating that its wearer has made a pilgrimage to Mecca or that his family is believed to be decended from the prophet. The students are very like the students of other universities in their love of a good story and joke. An El-Azhar student is always under the supervision of the school authority, even when he Is roaming about the streets Should he be caught mishehaving, the police officials could only hold him until an officer from the university arrived.
