The rooms Of Bohemia, as | have
seen them, are merely simple rooms
workrooms. Sometimes they have
brilliant color schemes in moulding or
walls or floors; once in while they
are decorated fantastically-but the
only really marvellous studio is the
"Alistair," and it is in Munich. Ut

vet couches, etc, but is simple in
decoration.)
To me the word Bohemia suggests
dirt and lot of people living in one
place. | think Bohemians are Bo-

inclination-they simply can't afford to
be anything else.
