AS the dinner consisted only of
relishes. soup, fish. chicken. salad and
and cheese, the possibility of horse
meat was eliminated.
Marion suggested that they take
their coffee and liquor out to one Of
the now vacant tables on the terrace.
Every one was having cordial, for
a dinner in Paris, however inexpen-
sive, is not complete without cog
nae, anisette, menthe or grenadine.
The group of American students at
the long table grew more merry.
Every now and then they broke into
a chorus of some popular song. beat

glasses.
Almost every one had finished his
dinner, but they all still fingered

others had pushed aside their coffee
cups and were writing letters. The
checkers and the well worn port
folios with the notepaper and pink
blotters were supplied by madame.
These Latin quarter restaurants are
not merely places to eat for they
contribute much to the social life OF
the student.
A little old woman, bent and shriv-
eled, now paused in the street before
the terrace and began to sing in a
piping voice. Between the verses she
executed a tottering pas seul.
OLD MARIE
That's old Marie. She used to be-
famous dancer at the opera"
But surely some society would take
care of herr" asked Helen.
Marion shrugged her shoulders.
''There're SO many worn out artists
in Paris. And perhaps old Marie
would rather have this vagrant life
and her glass of absinthe," as Warren
and some of the students threw her a
few sous. than to be shut up in an
old ladies' home"
A number of students who had evil

came in to have a cordial and a chat

left. Marion insisted on their com

her to the gate of the old garden, but
