King and Queen Fly to VarenneA
How the adventurous heart Of
Marie must have beat on that
night in June when she and heI
husband and their two children,
in disguise, crept out of the palace
of the Tuileries, circled the city,
and gained their travelling coach
on the Chalons road. And how
eagerly she must have counted the
miles as they slipped by, each one
bringing her nearer to the life
she desired-homage, bowling. fine
compliments, kissing of hands,
luxury, extravagance-the grand
old order of things again!
Near Varennes man on horse
back dashed by the coach. He
shouted some words which were
drowned by the rafting of the
wheels over the cobble road. In
all probability they were; "You
are discovered"
A Flight That Failed.
At Varennes there was soma
misunderstanding about change
of horses. The king, disguised as
page, argued with the driver IN
the lower town, while the fresh
horses waited in the upper. At
last they started on again, only
to find the bridge between the
two towns blocked by troops Of
the National Guard and armed
peasantry. They had lost!
Later Marie, sitting between
two piles Of candles in the grocery
store of one Sance, Mayor of the
town, talked to the wife of the
good man while the king, at the
ether end of the shop, tried to
explain why he had left Paris.
Marie entreated the wife TO In
Auence her husband to save the
king.
"Bless me, madame, it would
be the destruction of NJ. Sance,"
was the reply. 81 love my king;
but, by our lady, I love my hus-
band too, you must know; and he
would be answerable, you see"
So it was decided to take king
and queen back to Paris
Stagecoach or aeroplane, ivory
dressing case or silver vanity box,
the results in these two attempts
to regain royal power were both
disastrous. Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette were arrested, later to
be guiIlotined; Charles and Zita
were arrested, but being consid-
erably more lucky, were banished
to the pleasant island of Madeira
for the rest Of their days

it is there.
Yesterday morning we were up be-
, fore breakfast and off on a sight
seeing tour with the ruins of an old
chateau as our destination. The sky
was full of pink clouds and the sea
was making an awful noise as the
tide was about to come in. This
old chateau is remnant of feudal-
ism and probably dates from Just
after the time of Charlemagne.
There is scarcely anything left of it
except a wall and two fragments and
these are fast crumblng and losing
their outline and it merely suggests
its former state, and it struck me as
a symbol of the past fading away
but leaving it's haunting and strange
charm to modeTns The largest re-
naming fragment is Incorporated in

over it and the old stones are COW

view from the top! We could see

a good sized town. and the bay. Fish
ermen were casting their nets and
drawing them in on the shore.
Yesterday we took our guide book
and went to see the sights in the
parts of the city which are very,
very old l never had such an in
teresting afternoon. The streets of
old Nice are so narrow that by
stretching out your arms you can
reach nearly across them. They
were constructed thi sway to escape
the suns merciless rays in summer.
These streets wind in and out and
are full of life. Every possible kind
of merchant is found with his wares
hung out by his doorway. We
wished we had clothespin on our
noses but felt that if we were going
to really see Italy we had better be-
come accustomed to the smelliness
of sightseeing. These wretched.
dirty buildings are alive with people
with dirty children playing in the
streets. Occasionally we would see
Ia beautiful dark eyed beauty stand
ing in a doorway
At frequent intervals were huge
pumps where the population came
to get water, as it is not piped into
the buildings. All of a sudden we
would hear a terrible confusion and
be forced to applique" ourselves to
the wall in order to let a two-wheeled
donkey cart pass. We saw two old
toothless women selling roasted
chestnuts and as customers were not
very numerous they were singing as
they knit. There are five very in
teresting churches here. some very
old in Roman style, a lovely Gothic
church and a beautiful Russian
church with five mosaic domes. It
is very curious.
The most wonderful ruin is that
of an old arena with it's suggestions
of little cells around it where I sup
pose gladiators and wild animals
were once kept. Near the arena is
an old pagan temple to Diana which
was built in the ninth century.

We four started Saturday morning
from Paris in drilling rain.
The filst day we crossed France

and slept in Marseilles the first
night. It was a most agreeable and
Interesting day of travel We passed
( through Dyon, Lyons and Ayignon.
France is a very beautiful coun-
try, essentially agricultural with
great stretches Of green fields and
clumps of trees are scattered over
the landscape It is very similar in
formation to the Palouse country.
Every inch is cultivated. even the
hills are marcelled in irregular fields
Of every size and shape, The farm
houses are small and lOw-all built
of cement with gay red roofs and a
few picturesque chateauX were
passed. Some of the orchards were
in bloom but the trees are stunted
and sickly looking in contrast to our
marvellous Washington orchards.
AS we travel farther south the
whole landscape changes, architec-
ture, vegetation and nearly every
thing else. And one can particular
/ ly notice the difference in the
churches Those in the north are
on the Gothic order with tall pointed
roofs and steeples, while those of
the south have flat roofs and square
towers showing the Italian and Latin
influence.
Southern France was very Animal
ed and quite a center of civilization
in medieval times and consequently
the buildings are much older than

Indicate That Courses i'm Home Eco
Monies, Agriculture and Conn
mercial Work Are Fully
Justified
(By DR.. D. w. Hamilton

Professor of Vocational Education)
A recent (192O-21 study of the
Pullman high school alumni* for the
past six years, with regard to the
occupations followed at present dis
closes the fact that a large percent
age are now attending college. Nine
ty out of 1919 graduates during this
six year period are now in school.
Seventy-four of the 90 are at Wash
ington State College, while 16 are
in school elsewhere.
Next to college life, farming for
boys and the duties of a housewife
for girls apparently are most attrac-
tive. Fourteen out of 95 boy gradu-
ates are farming at present while
eight more are at college preparing
for agricultural work. Twenty-Five
girls out of 1O4 graduates are mar
ried and meeting the problems of
contributing toward home life.
Approximately so different occu-
pations are being followed or pre-
pared for by the graduates. They
vary in nature from common labor
to bank positions, farm ownership
and business careers.
The question is often raised wheth-
er it is advisable to offer courses in
home economics, agriculture and
commercial work in high schools.
Judging from the occupations fol-
lowed it seems that these courses
are fully justified.
The following tables include the
various occupations chosen and the
number in each as we'll as the
courses being followed by the stu
dents in college,:
