kind of thing is what is keeping Chicago
back artistically. Here the great Chi
cago business man looks upon the artist
as Il queer, inferior being. That discour-
ages art. Otherwise Chicago is a mag
nificent place in which to study. Where

studying as hard as any in Paris, but
this cold feeling of the city does not as
sist them. That is why they dream of
Paris, the atmosphere and camaraderie
which they do not find here.

women of France are hospitable to the
last degree and in the few cases where

of the nationality he does it in such a
polite way that one does not mind the
