enjoyed with ease. If sightseeing out of the city is less agreeable, except when the sun does come out or when a sudden sharp spell freezes the basins at Versailles or Fontainebleau, to the skaters’ joy, or a light fall of snow makes a fairyland of the Saint-Cloud Forest, still you will probably not miss this once you have fallen a victim to the lure of the lighted Paris streets. Another objection I have heard is that it is so hard to find glimpses of the real old Paris, but even here the undiluted, and perhaps old songs, spicy real
even here the undiluted, and perhaps old songs, spicy real seeker will not go unrewarded. If you will drop in some night to the Caveau des Oubliettes Rouges in the Latin Quarter, or to an old cabaret in Montmartre, — on a cold moonlight night let us hope, when Notre Dame and Sacré Cœur are sharply etched against the sky — if you will bravely make your way through the “apache” quarter of the rue de Lappe, or — not alone — through the dark streets around the Central Markets, you will find the atmosphere of old days, the language,
you will find the atmosphere of old days, the language, and see French types as they were hundreds of years ago. And just as the view of lower New York at five o’clock of a winter’s night and five o’clock in the summer time are two entirely different views, so the view of Paris from the terrace before Sacré Cœur, or the frosty spaces of the Champ-de-Mars with the Tour Eiffel disappearing into the misty heights above it, can only be appreciated during these months. The City of Paris has over 500 statues! Recently the City of Amsterdam passed a
over 500 statues! Recently the City of Amsterdam passed a law saying that individual statues would no longer be erected in the Dutch capital, “Since such statues are generally tasteless and make the city ugly." Will Paris arrive at the same conclusion? The City Fathers begin to feel strongly that something must be done, for every year sees new projects presented — there are projects for 30 new statues now before the Municipal Council — and something must be done about the matter. At the end of the 18th century, so we are told, there were only 5 statues on
so we are told, there were only 5 statues on the public streets of Paris, and these were all statues of kings: Henri IV, at the Pont-Neuf; Louis XIII, place Royale; Louis XIV, place Vendôme and place des Victoires; and Louis XV place de la Concorde. At the end of the 19th century, this had grown to about 60 statues. But since then, in marble and bronze, they seem to have sprung up everywhere — in parks and gardens, at corners and squares, on bridges... Among the most recent additions of this sort are the statue of St. Geneviève, patron
of this sort are the statue of St. Geneviève, patron saint of Paris, who guards a Paris bridge looking up the river as she did toward the attacking barbarians long centuries ago; the bronze statue of Clemenceau, at a round-point on the Champs-Elysées; and a marble statue of Montaigne, chin in hand, thoughtfully placed across from the Sorbonne. Voltaire, the philosopher and cynic, once said of statues, "They are only a passing spectacle, perishable copies of a model which has perished; for a time they fill the earth with a living image; no matter what the hand that raised them,
living image; no matter what the hand that raised them, justice or weather, crime or ignorance will overthrow them one day and almost make the originals the affront of a second death..." But Voltaire, perhaps to his displeasure, would find many statues of himself in evidence in Paris! But when a bright cold Sunday morning does happen along, do get out into the Bois de Boulogne at eleven or twelve in the morning. There you will see the real Parisians as you cannot see them in the summer, when they have all fled the city. This is still the rendezvous

This is still the rendezvous for the younger generation of smart society, come out with their dogs to do a bit of “footing,” to stop and chat along the wide walks, under the bare trees with the green mossy trunks, with the rest of their world. When a really cold spell strikes the city, you may see them skating on the lakes, and the ice being broken for the ducks to peck through. Never to my mind is the Bois more beautiful than now, with the stretches of cold water, the lacework pattern of the
the stretches of cold water, the lacework pattern of the bare branches, the green of the cree trunks and the earth a rich deep brown.

FROM the first of December to the end of February the Orangerie Museum in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris is showing an invaluable collection of color engravings from the 18th century. Over 200 works are shown, many of them unique of their kind, and all come from the magnificent collection presented to the French National Museums last year by the Baron de Rothschild. M. André Blum, the curator of the collection, has himself made the selection to be shown at the Orangerie. This is the first time that French colored engravings of this type have ever been shown as an
engravings of this type have ever been shown as an exposition, for despite the fact that the technique and results are equal, it is only the English work of this type and epoch which became famous. Among the best of the work shown are prints signed by Gautier d’Agoty, who invented the process, Debucourt, one of the last to do this type of work at the time of the French Revolution, François, Louis-Marin Bonnet and Janinet. “Excuse me, but the man behind is calling you.” (Copyright A.

When Louis XV was crowned, the diamond was set in his crown, and his Queen, Marie Leszczynska, wore it in a brooch.

One of the mob, however, was not above temptation; he was Miette, a gang leader, and he broke into the storehouse and carried off the Regent and other gems. It was a woman, the "Citoyenne" Corbin, who betrayed the thieves and led the police to the gems.

In the frantic years of the Franco-Prussian war, the Regent was placed for safe-keeping in the arsenal at Brest, and then in the hold of a French warship.

"Faster, still faster" seems to be the slogan of the age: and yet, there is one
the slogan of the age: and yet, there is one country which has not succumbed to this almost universal desire for speed, where Life proceeds slowly and peacefully as it did centuries ago. That country is Morocco. It is only a few hours from France, but to travel to Morocco is to return to the Middle Ages, in customs, atmosphere, and folklore. True, the new Morocco is as up to date as Paris, and this is due to the civilizing genius of Marshal Lyautey, that statesman of the highest class, who built an empire, who won and deserves the title
who built an empire, who won and deserves the title of Lyautey Africanus. His genius and dynamism are responsible for the miracle of modern Morocco, in which all the picturesque and colorful traits of the old are retained. Doubtless, everything has already been written about this mysterious land which, during the last century, was spoken of with awe as Barbary. But, Morocco is a land, inexhaustible in its treasures, never quite revealing the secrets it conceals. Indeed, quite appropriately, Morocco has been compared to its women who cover their faces with veils, and consequently hide their Oriental charm and beauty.
with veils, and consequently hide their Oriental charm and beauty. And yet, with patience, with determination, the explorer, whether amateur or professional, can discover the real Morocco, and love it. For this ancient land, such a noble subject for meditation, has always something novel to offer the sincere seeker. Personally, I have returned quite frequently to Morocco during the past decade. In traveling there, I have used different modes of locomotion: steamships, airplanes, and even the railroad across Spain. But, whether I voyaged on the S. S. "Meknes" and debarked at Casablanca, whether I soared above Morocco’s fields and the
at Casablanca, whether I soared above Morocco’s fields and the gray terraces of Fez, whether I arrived from Gibraltar before the rose-colored and blueish houses of Tangier, I invariably experienced a new pleasure. However, to speak frankly, I think it was my arrival at Casablanca which gave me the most complete pleasure. What a contrast! From the busy quays of Bordeaux, covered with hundreds of casks of reddish wine, we are suddenly transported, as we reach Casablanca, to a new world, streaming with sunshine, and marked nevertheless by a feverish activity. On the cement wharves, thirty electric cranes daily manifest
activity. On the cement wharves, thirty electric cranes daily manifest their agility as the ships come in or depart. Sugar, tomatoes, beans, mutton and other products of Morocco are being placed on board, destined for the dinner tables of Paris or London. After leaving the "Meknes", let us stroll to the Place de France; let us mingle with its picturesque multitude: tourists, colonials, officers, business men, boot-blacks, fellahs draped in their "gandouras", rich Moslems dressed in silk. They talk, they gesticulate, they wander hither and yon, and the entire square vibrates with an intense movement. Enveloped in their Oriental garments,

Here are banks and department stores which would be a credit to any French provincial city. Nor should we forget the motion picture theaters, showing the latest films from Hollywood. The posters are alluring and enticing. A Riffian peasant, clad in his "djellabah", several soldiers who once served under Abd El Krim are contemplating with astonishment a picture of Clark Gable and Myrna Loy. But, have we
picture of Clark Gable and Myrna Loy. But, have we traveled so many miles across the sea to find (as Emerson once said) exactly the thing from which we fled? Definitely, no! Casablanca is only a portal, a gateway, through which we must pass to the discovery of interior Morocco. Before we depart, let us get accustomed to the atmosphere of Casablanca, to its intense sunshine, to its Franco-Moorish folkways. Let us drink in the vitality of this new country, so that we may understand that Morocco is, in a certain sense, "the youth of France." It is also the
certain sense, "the youth of France." It is also the history of an ancient world. Wherever we go, we are certain to discover the prestige of today’s France and yesterday’s Morocco. We shall encounter castles of cruel sultans, holy places of the Muslim religion, even traces of the Roman legions. Each has left profound marks upon this country. Would you like to go to the North ? Rabat offers you souvenirs of its pirate chiefs; Meknes awaits you with a wonderful copy of Versailles, Volubilis with its Roman ruins, while Fez is burdened with impénétrable secrets, Ouezzan is enveloped in

Cette conception isole dans la guerre des batailles, qui elles avaient une importance par elles-mêmes, de sorte que la victoire obtenue sur une de ces batailles est considérée comme une gloire de la nation, quelle que fut l'issue et le résultat finalement de la guerre.

La guerre continue ; et dans elle agissent beaucoup d'autres facteurs de forces politiques, des forces économiques, même des forces psychologiques. Dans ce jeu complexe et confus, sous les défaites sont nécessaires pour que la guerre aboutisse à un résultat favorable des victoires qui entraînent le vainqueur dans une voie qui aboutira à la ruine.

Ce que le vainqueur pourra demander à la fin de la guerre dépend de circonstances beaucoup plus complexes que la situation militaire créée par les armées ; de toute sorte de facteurs, par exemple la géographie jusqu'à la politique, à la diplomatie et à l'économie exercent leur action irrésistible. C'est une conception romancière de la guerre, grâce à laquelle, plus ou moins, tous les peuples de l'Europe plongent dans leur histoire quelques-uns en ont fait des gloires finales sur des descriptions sans imagination.
