DYE MIND THE TIME

DAYS OF AULD LANG SYNE

There's no denying that to most
of us there is a certain satisfaction
in reviewing the events of long ago,
as they are presented to us, either
casually or by force Of some remin-
iscent strain of the moment. And
to those who lived here in the long
ago the recalling of events in the
old days of Paris affords peculiar
satisfaction all it's own. They, per-
haps, more than we who have
grown used to the old place, will
appreciate these items, taken at
random from copy of THE BOUR-
