Paris of. Americans
Last Bohemian Haunt

French say, laughed in his teacup
to see the Americans establishment
at the "suey-sin" which others were
drinking. From upstairs came noises
more familiar, and our American
chose to follow his ear instead of his
nose.g
On one side was. something which
the sign told him was an American
bar" and there was mixer of cock
tails all the more complicated the
farther they are from home. The
name was spelled right and the ar
ticle must be genuine. At Tortonis-
when that classic cafe, too rich for
the students blood, closed forever in
1898, I remembered the curiosity of
the last nights card was a "cokteI"
In those days there was no mixing of
music with cafes and in Cincinnati
wise judge had pronounced beer and
music do not mix"
At the upstairs American bar
where thirteenth century students
once drank red wine and Chinese stu
dents now take counsel and tea, a
Jazz band mikes with new world
drinks and the charm of new world
dances.
AT last. after other similar expert
ences, our American seeker decided
he would try the American Latin
Quarter. He knew this was not Latin
at all.
The Latin Quarter-'Iatin coun-
try" it was called when the prismatic
tower was new-was for those who
spoke Latin: that is, Paris University
students Even these do not speak
Latin much nowadays, but they are
1900 strong and there were once
Bohemians among them, who made
their drinking places classic in litera-
ture and song and the drama, not to
speak of opera.
Students are perhaps more serious
now, having to succeed in their stud
les If they are to earn a living in
the professions, ard certainly more of
them are living during their studies
in their own or other responsible
families. At any rate, the old orig
inal Latin Quarter is vanishing in its
outer manifestations. except for sin
gle-file parades at critical moments
like examination seasons.
On his way our American found
