CONTINUED from Yesterdays Starr

1t was that early drive through the
streets of Paris that finally restored
me to a sane and reasonable world.
Paris is of all cities the one where
life from hour to hour seems most
to justify itself, where men have most
slillfully come to secure terms with
destiny, and where things violent ard
uncouth are rebuked or shruggipgly
dismissed. Paris came to me that
morning like the clean dawn upon
a nightmare. The figures which had
followed me through the incidents of
this tale, fading like ghosts at cock
crow. shrank to an indeterminate
mopping and moving in an obscure
recess of memory, and l once more
became a normal citizen of the mod
ern world. / awoke to a sense of
homely and permanent realities, my
spirits rising to deny emphatically the
grotesque illusions among which, DUR
ing the last week, l had SO au-
thentically moved.
The clear city was waking to an
other day. AS we passed through the
narrow streets of the quarter, de-
scending toward the quais, life was
on all sides f1eetly renewed. From
the iron balconies of the humber
folk, gay with occasional flowers,
Sill Will oiAaS pSio~hS III eA~AJ
cages, the women had hung their
household bedding. or gay mats to
sweeten in the nimble air and the
clean December sunlight. Below
them small cafes were being set for
the morning with tables and wicker
chairs, and a glimpse through open
doors showed the patron or his men
sprinkling the sawdust or putting a
morning polish on brass and zinc.
The tiny shops slid past, bright with
the spoils of a market visited at
dawn, or inviting leisurely inspec-
tion Of old prints and the niscel-
laneous boards of the antiquary.
Then, through the narrow end of the
little street, the river cleaned, and
in a moment we were running along
the quais, the long line of the Louvre
cutting the blue sky with a fine SIM
plicity, packed with treasures where
by eager generations, ere the silence
closed, had achieved a lovely immor-
tality. Beside it passed the busy life
of the riverside, barges moored and
discharging their cargoes, or passing
smoothly under the conely arches
Of bridge, swift green trans gliding
beneath the brown tracery of tree
tops, and the reckless and gallant
fuss Of the Paris taxis. l was filled
with a joyous conviction that life
was continuous, triumphant, per-
sistent, and not intended for defeat.

GENEVA, May 1.-THE Chinese
government, it is reported in League
of Nation circles, has abandoned it's
policy of insistence on a seat on the
council of the league. Two years ago
China failed of reelection to the coun-

Chinese generally. 1t even had been
rumored that China might quit the
league.
The new Chinese government, how
ever, is favorably inclined to the
league, Independently of the question
whether China obtains a seat on the
council. A special commission has
been set up at Peking, with the OBJ
ject of laying down the general lines
of Chinese policy with reference to
the league. Geneva has been Informed
that the president of this commission
is Long Chang Ming, former minister
of justice. He is also general secre-
