Jacques Bonhomme. the stocky
French peasant, is happy. The rains
Of March and April have started the
green sprouts in his rolling fields
and brought fair promise Of good
crops. Jacques's cousin, Henri Della
Vile. who sells postcards and souve-
Mrs in his shop on the Rue de Ri
vol, is also happy. For Henri knows
now that the 1922 American tourist
crop is going to be a bumper. The
early varieties have already bios
somed out along the Grdndes Bonle-
cards and in Paris hotel lobbies, and
there Is assurance of many. many
more.
To Henri Delaville in his postcard
and bric-a-brac shop nothing much
counts in tourist matters except
grand totals. One hundred thousand
American tourists staying an average
of five days in Paris mean brisk
business and a rich harvest whether
they be genre Cooks (Which is
French for common garden varieties
of tourists), or whether they be more
choice millionaire cultures. For even
a poor Harvard professor of fine arts
can afford to buy a postcard or a
Notre Dame paper weight.
Where Handbag Is Worth Farm.
But in more discriminating shop
ping quarters, like the Rue de la
Paix, where diminutive handbag Of
Aubusson tapestry sells at the price
of a fertile four hundred acre farm.
and where subtle art transforms a
piece of old Italian straw and a
plume from Guiana into 1000 franc
hat, the tourist problem is much
more complicated. In the Rue de la
Paix it is only the magic writing
en- the letter of credit that matters.
Ten thousand battlefield tourists,
museum tourists or pension de
fdmilIe tourists might ebb and flow
between the marble facade5 of that
modest street on a single morning
and not cause the slightest fiutter
of expectation But when a Rolls
Royce limousine purrs its elegant
way past the Colonne Vendome. the
Rue de la Paix awakens, rejoices,
and lays its choicest ropes of pearls
on its loveliest velvet backgrounds.
II by chance the Rolls-Rcyce hesi-
tates and draws up to the curb, if its
opening door reveals the slender
ankle from Hollywood or more ample
outlines from Pittsburgh, then the
cup of the Rue de Ia Paix merchant
is full to overflowing. The real tour
ist-his own precious tourist-has
arrived.

as frivolous as ever in any legislative body in any

GLIMPSE OF SPRINGFIELD

Three nights and two delightful days
in Springfield, VT, make an oasis in
any desert.
Springfield entertained the State
Federation of Women's Clubs June 6
to 9, royalty, Less than 100 registered
before arriving and nearly 300 arrived
There seemed to be no end to their
hospitality. The delegation from Mid
dlebury was delighted with the con
vention. 1t is no easy task to do
this seven miles from a railroad but
all the people from directly west were
met at Gassets by automobiles and a
big truck carried all the baggage This
service was all free to the guests Of
their town. All the delegates were Civ
en- their supper that night where they
were entertained and where they had
breakfast.
The dinner each day was served j,
the Universalst church by the two
Springfield Clubs On Wednesday at
the close of the afternoon session we
were all taken to Ascutney Lodge, a
charming motor trip to a delightful
spot where picnic supper was served
to about 200 people
On Thursday, after the days pro-
grem was over we all attended a gar
den party at the home of Gov. and
Mrs Hartness This was made per
feet by perfect afternoon Hardly a
leaf stirred on the trees and the lawn
was a beautiful spot After sandwiches,
coffee, cake and ice cream were served
we were entertained by pageant The
setting was ideal, the children in their
fairy costumes held the audience of
800 who were all seated, entranced The
reflection in the artificial pond of these
, fairies wandering and dancing about to
the music of the victrola was fascinat-
ing indeed Then on Friday morning
we all found places in cars that came
to the church to take us back to the
station
The convention itself was a great
success. Springfield has much OF ma
tural beauty but Springfield was hos
pitality itself The one thing they
have tried and are all enthusiastic
about is their town manager Their

MAKING a Fire.

Some months ago the press reported
man who while hunting in the wilds
of Canada, lost his way, and having
nothing to eat but raw meat and no
fire, starved almost to death before he
was rescued. And only recently a
freshman from Syracuse university
was hunting in the Adirondacks and,
losing his way and having no fire,
frOze nearly to death.
Had they been brought up in the
South before the Civil war and been
accustomed as l was, to hunting with
a muzzle-loading shotgun, with paper
for wadding, and had been accustomed
to setting the paper on fire after firing
the gun, they would have had no
trouble in starting a fire, writes
Mississippi correspondent of the New
York Times. During the Civil war
when boy Of about seventeen, a lieu
tenant and | were sent into north Mis-
sissippi, and on reaching Tallahatchie
river in the night and finding the river
nearly level with its banks no way to
cross and no one in calling distance,
the weather being cool, we had to
have a fire. l discharged one chamber
of my pistol. cut a piece out of my
shirt tail put a blank cartridge in my
pistol. rammed the cloth down on it,
fred it, and in short while had a
good fire.
