" HERE is one feature of life in
old Europe for which we have
no exact equivalent in new Amer

a feast" or a. celebration) that are an
nually given in many ancient towns and
cities They not only serve to arouse
and perpetuate local and national pride
and patriotism, but they are the delight
of artists and of all persons who have
either taste for the picturesque or an
appreciation of the scenes of a past
age when they are wildly brought L.
fore the eye.
Possibly our continent is now old
enough. inaSmuch as several hundred
years have elapsed since white men
first began to do things within its Dor
ders, to have something of this kind to
recall its former days, but among US
the spirit that inspires fetes is yet
generally lacking. Perhaps 1000 years
from now there will be splendid fetes
in New York, having some of the ruins
of its skyScraperS for back ground
and serving to recall to the men and
wcmen of that time what life was on
this continent in the days when the

But I have no Intention to discourse
on the general subject of fetes; I wish
simply to call attention to a. very re-
markable example of this kind OF cell

in the old city of Carcassonne, in

There is modern town, and an ancient
