Auberoe du Pigeon.

Strasbourg, French once more, Is
unfolding, like rose to the sun. The
old life has begun again, az 1t was
lived before the interruption in 1871.
Houses are throwing open their shut
tiers and hanging up once familiar
signs. One Of them. the Pigeon inn,
one Of the glories of Strasbourg with
its painted wood carvings, its old
windows and curious ship decorations,
has reopened its doors. It was built
in 1881 and began its career under the
sign Of "Au Pigeon" Then later the
sign changed to "Au Pigeon Blanc"
and for two centuries the inn was the
rendezvous Of the university students.
After 1870 the sign was taken down,
the Pigeon Blanc's hospitality ceased
and the house became the headquar-
tiers Of a Roman Catholic society. The
days Of its ecclesiastical Importance
are happily over. The inn becomes
