ont the country as being the only logical solution of the problem, which
has been reaching a head for many years. The game in its essence is
too good to abandon entirely and the thing for us to do in the immediate
future is to change its nature radically, so that it will come within the
pale Of other college sports, where highly specialized training, costly

participation on the part OF the student body are absent.

An American girl, especially an art student, has no business in
Paris. It is not America. The French people have been reared differ
entity from us, and they view many things from different standards. A
young girl alone in Washington, for instance, is perfectly safe. Each

protect her. Not so in Paris.
This is one of the things which makes me yearn for the passage eff
such a law. Many American mlionaires own valuable paintings which,
are allowed to remain over there for the reason that they do not care to
pay the high duty, If these could be brought into the country free they
could be placed III public or private galleries where art students could
be admitted. If not at all times at least on certain days.
American residents of Paris have a mighty good time. There are
four seasons over there and each one has its particular diversion. In the
winter one can find nearly the whole American colony at Nice; the early
spring finds them in Paris for the little season, and before summer they
are off again to Switzerland or some other attractive spot. II is excite

|coyet forbidden fountains and poisoned fruits. Literature, also, holds
this proverb, embalming it in many a book, even as a wasp is caught in
the honey in which it is drowned. The proverb is in the face of ex-
perience, observation and ethics. 1t is as superficial as il is false. It is
the old, old story OF the transformation of sin into an angel Of light
The proverb was first spoken BY beautiful woman, who used this will
of-the-wisp light to lure a noble man into the paths Of folly that led to
the City of Destruction, Just as DeGlah spoiled Samson of his SUI
premacy and manhood, just as Cleopatra spoiled Julius Caesar, SO this
daughter of beauty ruined the young king. But the stolen apples were
apples of Sodon1, the stolen waters that promised sweetness turned to
gall, the palace that looked stable and seemed to be lined with sIken
pleasures became a heap and ruin, and if the bitterness of the great
kings exclamation, VANITY of vanities, all is vanity" moves us like the
strain of noble eloquence, the eloquence is born OF passionate regret, keen
remorse and backened yesterdays. Plainly, poisoned pleasures cast the
charm Of magic upon the imagination. Seen from afar, the stolen APP
pies look large and rosy, the stolen waters sparkle as they flash above
the fountain, and the stolen pleasures promise mwonted piquancy and
crispness. Sin, wearing her disguise of beauty points to the morrow,
but the pleasure promised is always a mirage that fees on before the
eager pursuer. Never once have the stolen waters been sweet.
For many reasons, through their poems, their drinking songs, their
jess and stories, their suggestive pictures, brilliant and evil men have
cast a glamour over many sinful pleasures, In its end drunkenness
means a face scared as with a hot iron, beared eyes, p~enduous lips, the
Redeemed nose; in short, the spirit of Bacctus done up in terms of physi-
cal uginess, passion and seniidiocy. But when one reads the drinking
songs of men like Robert Burns, the ugly bag is transformed into an
angel of beauty, the slaughter pen is hidden behind vines, the corpse is
wreathed with bridal blossoms.
