ing Before left America it seem ed
to me that the vivid tints of Tissot's
pictures must be exaggerated, but they
fau short of the reality. OF course no
artist can hope to reproduce the mar
vicious warmth and depth of the col
orS in an eastern landscape, or to irnf-
tate the vague, soft hues that are so
characteristic of the Syrian atmos-
phere, but it would be almost impos-
sible for him to find tints that were
overnight or to arrange them in an
Syrian sun.
The very nights are full of color.

yielding to an impulse that would
have been resisted on more formal
occasions, willing hands set about
subduing the swelling tide. of
song, by rescuing Mr.. johnson
from his unwilling and unfortu-
nate position.
After the tragedy was over,
Mr.. johnson re-appeared on two
good crutches amid the cheering
