Up in the Columbia University dis
trlct one finds queer employment ar
rangements. Fancy going into the
rear of one of the restaurants close to
the campus and observing a lank
youth washing away an immense
stack Of dishes and hear him turn to
his mate close by with this remark:
do you think this world is merely an
orderly phantasmagoria generated by
an Ego, and enfolding its successive
scenes upon the background Of an
abyss of nothingness?" This would
seem simple enough byt above the
hiss of the steam from the water fau-

Consciousness. Hey there, I'm out of
soap" These and many others have
two, three and four letters after their
names. They may be scientists, journ-

Attention has been directed to the
attitude Of some Of the French war
brides in this country in their recent
appeal to Marshal Foch. The impress
sion prevails that many Of them are
homesick in their newly adopted land.
But 1t remained for the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association to use its
good offices to encourage them, to help
Danish their homesickness. Dut to
their acquaintance with the Y. W. c.
A. in France and the warm personal
relationships established when they
we're officially chaperoned by the As
ISOLATION on the trip across, in many
cases. 1t was natural for them to turn
to this association for guidance and
help. French clubs, or French war
bride clubs, have ben formed in cities
over the country, partly for sociability
to make them feel more at. home
Glass es in infant care, including pre-
natal fare, have been formed and we'll
attended. These French organizations
are auxiliary to the main work Of the
association but reflect the spirit Of
helpfulness which identifies this or
ganization. Instances are cited Of girls
who weer quite Respondent in their
new environment but when impressed
with the warmness and hospitality of
the people with whom they came in
contact through the efforts of this or
ganization, have become more than
content to remain among u.s.

safe for the youngster to go about

these poor neglected children of the
rich at least see their Daddies in the

During the week two immense
bronz doors designed by several of our
leading architects will be placed in
position in the hall Of Liberal Sciences
at New York University. They are
more than magnificent doors because
in their design and concept are sup
