up In relation TO the number Of pupils in
the schools Of the three arts. These fgures
showed In the public art schools 1913, In
the dramatic 4l3 and In the musical 2,O37.
The pupils studying in private schools

The old fashioned comb which stands

There has been for the last dx months a
rage for everything Spanish in Paris. There
are Spanish dishes on the menus Of the

It Is 10 this taste for everything Spanish
