The Arabian prince, clad in his Of

ART AS THE FRENCH SEE 1T
In Their Eyes It Is the Direct Antithe-
sis of Artifice as Generally
Understood.

No one can understand this French
conception of art, as no one could un-
derstand the similar Greek conception,
without distinguishing clearly be
tween art and artifce. The first
comment of the AnglO-SaXon on all
art is likely to be that it is artificial
his comment upon the French life, it.
self an art, is that 1t partakes too
much of the quality Of artifce. The
difficulty is that such comment as
sumes civilization as a natural thing,
said Prof. Erskine in a recent lee
ture to his soldier students in France.
The Frenchman knows better. When
our mothers sent us to childhood par
ties and cautioned us to behave, nat
urally they did not mean what they
said; they meant that we should wear
our acquired arts of courtesy as
though they were natural.
In that sense all civilization is not
natural, and French life. being the
most highly civilized, has most the
character of art. But the French
themselves are even more severe than
we are in condemning artifice, which
to them is not art, but its most per-
verse enemy. Art for them must be
frank and sincere, a quite open con-
troll Of means to reach an Ineligible
ideal. There is nothing secret about
it; it's glory is the large part that
reason and calculation frankly play
in it-as any choice between good and
evil should be calculating and reason
able. Article, on the other hand, is
the putting on Of disguise, the as
Stunning of methods which do not har-
monte with the genuine purpose; It
is too great emphasis upon means and
too slight valuation Of the noble end.
Art is, as it were, the contrast or other
pole to nature; it is the condition
which is reached when man has given
an Interpretation and a direction to
the chaos Of crude experience. In be
tween these extremes is artihce, par
taking of the quality Of both-half dl-
rected. half meaningless.-New York
Evening Post.

Students at Famous College Revive
Old Custom for the Benefit Of
Nelghborhood Children.

People who have been brought up
to believe that college girls are In
evitably of masculine type might DO
interested to know that the students
at Vassar college are at present in the
midst of a dOll-dressing contest. Nor
Is this contest new event at Vassar.
Every year shortly before Thanksgiv-
ing 600 dolls are bought by the Chris
tian association and distributed
among the students to be dressed In
time for Christmas for the children of
the surrounding neighborhood. At an
appointed time the dolls are assem-
bled by their respective owners and
placed row on row for inspection.
The best-dressed doll is selected and
her owner rewarded with prize.
This custom has been observed at
Vassar for many years. For the last
two years, however, 1t has been omit
ted, owing to the exigencies Of war
work. But now that those services
are not needed the work has been
taken up again with an added inter
est and enthusiasm.

pers acclaimed him as a local boy
who has made good" and the Star
even went so far as to speak Of him
as a product of this Office and run a
full page with pictures Of him, along
with photographs of his old desk and
the machine ON which he used to pound
out criticisms of other actors.
The evening subsequent tc his first
appearance at the Empress he went
to the Star office to renew ac-
Quaintanceships. The managing edi-
tor greeted him affably and an inn
promptu reception was held in the
editorial room.
"By the way" he remarked to the
city editor, I'D like to meet your
dramatic critic. He certainly did
give me a bang-up write-up in this
mornings Star, and / want to thank
him. remember the last criticism |
wrote. 1T was not so complimentary
to some members of the BILL"
The city editor filed his pipe. gave
out assignments to two reporters. an
swered three phone calls, borrowed a
match and said:
ut happens that the he you speak
of is a girl. The funny part of it is
that she's former actress, the same
as you're a former critic. She's not
here just now, but she'll be on hand
soon"
Presently the young lady arrived
and was introduced to the Empress
headliner. Gary had the shock of
his life when he saw her, for she was
meme other than Mildred Harrison, the
girl he had loved and had criticized
the cause of his cutting loose from the
newspaper world.
"I'm glad to meet yOu," she told
him, her eyes sparkling with more
than sincerity. You know, was once
on the stage myself. tried to make
an actress of myself, but it was use
less, and it remained for the dramat-
ic critic on this very paper in this very
town to show me the error of my ways.
/ owe that critic untold gratitude, espe-
cially since he was kind enough to re-
sign and leave open the only Job /
could fill on a newspaper. My stage
experience was a flzzle, but 1t fitted me
to be a critic of Others"
IT am very glad to meet you, too"
he replied just as sincerely; $50 glad
that / am going to ask if l may not
see you after the show tonight. My
act is near the last, and / presume
you will be attending some other
performance. IfSI may call for you
there"
He did, and they made their way
to a quiet little restaurant, where
they engaged in some serious CONVEX
satiOn over a light lunch.
They talked in subdued tones, but
they were desperately in earnest, as
anyone with half an eye could have
seen. Let us eavesdrOp just a mo-
ment. We win drop into chair at a
nearby table just as he remarks:
isn't it strange that / should fall
in love with you the moment saw
you on the stage, and that you"
"And that l." she finished, should
fall in love with you the moment I
saw you on the stage, in the same
theater year later?"
He slipped his coffee.
"Well, it simply shows that / am
a prophet. Didn't 1 tell you a year
ago that you would make a wonderful
wife?"
