- HoUGH there are many beau
more intrinsic charms and re-
- pose than the city Of Geneva.
Because OF Its many fine. broad
streets. handsome houses, shops.
parks and gayety. this Swiss city IL
often called Little Paris. It has an
unusual situation. for 1t has q large,
handsome lake backed by mountains
that make tho scenery grand and
majestic and give 1t real commercial
importance. 1t IL placed at one end
OF the lake. on q somewhat inclined
plateau. It 10 divided by the River
Rhone into two unequal parts. On
clear days the Alps and Mt. Blanc
stand forth proud and defiant like a
courageous battalion. On the oppo-
site side are the equally lovely Jura
mountains. Tho two parts Of the
city are spanned by seven handsome
bridges. There are several islands in
the lake. on one 10 high jet Of water
that plays every Sunday afternoon.
On the other side is q small island
well protected by shade trees and or
namented with . handsome statue of
Rousseau. Along the lake IL q long
quay protected with q stone balus-
trade and artistic looking bronze
lamps. In the center Of the Place
Neuve. where the Rhone empties, is
. large statue of a great French Cen
eral. Dufour. The pose is gentle and
At the same time energetic. The
horse 10 shown in motion and the
movement IL really remarkable. This
monument was erected by a public
subscription and is the handsomest of
Its kind in Europe. The finest square
IL tho Place Neuve, surrounded by
many splendid buildings. In one cor
ner 10 q museum ornamented with
fine Corinthian columns. At the other
end Of the square IL q large common
known As University Grounds. They
are large though not especially beau
tiful. These are open to the public
but are used mostly by the Univer-
sity students. When college IL in
full swing the campus is crowded
with students hard at work. Students
going to classes gather into little
groups. The college IL limited to
four or five large buildings built of
ing their purpose. The most inter-
esting OF these il the library. which
has q wonderful collection Of books.
original documents and archives. In
the same square u another beautiful
building known ~ the Conservatory
Of Music. It IL devoted to all kinds
Of instrumental and vocal music. and
students come here from all parts Of
Switzerland to take advantage Of the
splendid instruction.

the festival the souls Of the dead were
loosed from the animals and taking
the shape Of ghosts they mingled with
