The critics have decided that this
vogue started with the agility of
Nijinsky and his Russian ballet, but
not satisfied with the leaping dances,
the Firms came next with a combina-
ton of ballst and harem numbers, and
by the time the Russian refugees,
seeking the solace of French money
after their experiences with the Boil
shevists, arrived here the original ball

Instead, folkdances became a veri-
table rage OF interpretations by physi-
cal contortion. This prepared the way
for Borlin's tribe of dancers, who are
incidentally going to the United States

proves too strict. SO far as France is
concerned the PEOPLE have had enough
of male beauties. and are threatening
to restore the days Of the minuet and
quadrilles unless the managers pro-
vide something more artistic than the
Swedes and Russians have brought
from the northern regions.

The alarming shortage of housing ac-
commodations in Paris, with the undeni-
able evidence that the city Is destined
to draw millions more from the country
districts and spread to new boundaries
which may rival those of London. is
again arousing the municipal officials to
the necessity of revising ;hc building
laws to enable the capital to assume a
greater role.
1t is realized. however, that no build
ing can be done inside the lines of the
old Notifications. The Government will
be asked to facilitate all the construc-
ton possible for individual homes in the
suburban areas, and even to advance
money to be repaid at low interest in
twenty years. Several of the most inn
portant banks have declared their will
ingness to engage in such activities with
the Governments approval.
This naturally has aroused fear on the
part of architects and artists that the
city will lose the character which has
been its chiefest attraction-consistent
artistic styles of its buildings-and have
urged members of their syndicates not
to let their enthusiasm carry them away
to the extent shown by American cities.
where wooden, brick and stone houses In
various ncongruous shapes and colors
huddle against one another.
The solution proposed is general re-
vision of the building laws. compelling
architects to submit their plans for the
approval OF Government agents before a
permit to build is granted. The ques-
ton will be tackled shortly, when a
new hill ia proposed in the Paris Council
to prevent any changing of the skyline
along the Rue de Rivoli from the Louvre
to the Place de la Concorde. by permit
ting the addition of another two stories

Americans with healthy thirsts need
not worry about Frances stock of
wines and liquor running short for
another year or two, as study of the
tax restrictions of wines being sent

to cut prices in half than to export on
the present schedule. Moreover, al

tract American tourists, the embargo
on whiskies whether good old Ken
lucky or Highland distilled, fiery
enough to incite the Highland fling, is
shown to be removed entirely.

every one at prices reminiscent OF the

One of England's great art treasures.
Mantegna's tempera painting Triumph

has been installed In the orangery OF
Hampton Court Palace. The painting
was executed by the great painter and
scholar about the time Columbus dis

Like so many other treasures OF art,
this painting was brought to England

II is admirably displayed.
The public ie charged two pence en-

a fine representation of an entire Ro-
man triumphal procession, with Caesar
leading. II is now divided into three
parts, but II was thought that originally
II was painted in single long panel.
