As James Clarence Harvey remarks in his
little volume In Bohemia published by the
II. n. Caldwell Company Bohemia is not
place" Neither is IL places. Hence anything in
the nature of a guide boo to it is linely to be
eminently misleading. Bohemia is an atmos-
phere. and the moment a locality or group
that is pervaded with it is labelled, that moment
the atmosphere is dissipateG. Bohemian life ex-
fists in New York, in Paris and other cities
of the Old World-and Of the New. as we'll; but
most Of that which is SO called is OF the imita-
ton. tin plate variety, that is aware OF its own

associated with the name II not with the spirit
OF Bohemia. These he takes up I'm turn and
strives, with more than a fair measure Of sue
cess. to convey rather than to describe, to the
reader Whether the reader will find therein
what the author does viii depend, not on his
eyes. but on his temperament. Occasionally the
author drops into proverbs. and some OF them
are worth quoting. You never miss the
