this study in American manners starts off his story with a brief sketch of the "American colony of Montparnasse," in which he draws an awful Bohemian picture of flappers living in barn-like studios with only a washbowl on a chair for furniture, and of young men who don’t wait for introductions to young girls. He suggests that they all came from humble origins, and mentions—or almost mentions—by name a number of well-known people, with personal tricks and peculiarities described. After all this, he is not very popular with the American and English painters. They say he is a very bad
and English painters. They say he is a very bad writer, as others complain. As the book is subtitled a novel of "Modern bohemian society" the Russians, the Czechs, the Swedes and all the others come in for their turn in the picture of the joys and horrors of the Latin Quarter. Godeau, Diaghilev, Leger, Picasso, Kisling, Zadikov, Fujita, and dozens of the other famous lights are all there. When he made his cast of characters so long, M. Georges-Michel seems to have counted on the surreptitious pleasure people get from seeing their names in print, as well as the

FOR MCGILL UNIVERSITY MONTREAL, Friday—The official announcement is made today of the gift of $500,000 by the Rockefeller Foundation to the Medical Faculty of McGill University for the establishment of a medical clinic. In Paris, the strapped shoe with the heel of sensible height predominates for general use. A three-strap hickory kid shoe with perforated autumn brown trim and low walking heel is
with perforated autumn brown trim and low walking heel is being seen on the Boulevards and in the Bois with plain suits or costumes of expensive simplicity. An attractive walking shoe is of light or Oriental gray kid with black lizard trim and a plain kid leather walking heel. For the long, languid summer evenings at Deauville and other pleasant resorts, the openwork sandal in black, addite or autumn brown kid continues in favor. Sometimes two colors are combined, but the one color mode is considered smarter. White country shoes are always in favor with Parisian women who are about
are always in favor with Parisian women who are about to migrate to country houses. This season ushers in the white semisport shoe of kid, worn with nude or flesh-colored stockings. Never with white, except in heavier ribbed silk. But Marily, the fashionable hosiery, predicts white for later. Among the lovely shoes for afternoon are the light tan kid with dark brown trim, a single strap extending up the instep to join the narrow strap running around the ankle. This shoe has a medium heel. Difficult colors—red, green, blue, and purple—are in vogue in certain Parisian circles. But the discriminating
purple—are in vogue in certain Parisian circles. But the discriminating woman who is careful when wearing these bright shades may enhance her costume, and be within the realm of good taste, if she matches her shoes with the predominating trimming shade of her gown. Shoes that harmonize with the basic color of her costume are also correct. The colored shoes are, in kid, the tendency of this leather being such that it pleases as an additional subtle enhancer of the shoes' coloring. There is little difference between the styles for informal and formal afternoon wear except, perhaps, that for the
informal and formal afternoon wear except, perhaps, that for the latter, openwork effects and Louis XV heels find greater favor. Kid shoes in openwork effects are charming; colored and brown kid shoes are popular. Kid shoes for evenings are gold, silver, and white kid slippers are exceedingly good this season with cream dresses and formal evening gowns. Elaborately strapped or slippered effects in gold or silver kid are frequently enhanced with pearl stone slides and tassels. A beautiful evening effect, most charming in gold or silver kid, is the instep-strapped shoe with harmonizing trim. The modern French girl differs from
shoe with harmonizing trim. The modern French girl differs from her Anglo-Saxon sister. Consequently, the athletically-inclined French woman who walks five miles a day, and wishes to combine comfort with style, chooses the strapped kid shoe and the plain kid walking shoe takes the lead. A good-looking sport shoe is tan calf, with golden brown kid trim or autumn brown kid with mahogany saddle. The rubber sole is making the saddled and trimmed shoe popular. Shades of gray, of nigger brown and tan, with harmonizing or contracting kid saddles, are attractive, and relieve the monotony which at one time was

Leather buckles, crocodile buckles, steel buckles; rhinestone buckles for evenings, colored stone buckles, and buckles of odd shapes and sizes, all to adorn the kid shoes of the season. Very beautiful and elaborate effects may be produced on another otherwise perfectly plain shoe by the use of gorgeously colored buckles. For the summer season, the white kid, non-strap, perforated shoe with the Louis XV heel, will complete the costume of dainty gown and summery hat. Paris offers an
costume of dainty gown and summery hat. Paris offers an Oriental gray kid in a one-strap shoe with a light gray trim. A rectangular openwork motif on the toe in light gray is very attractive. Dainty overgrained stockings of the same shade. The exact matching of hosiery to the shoes or shoe trimming is the latest prediction of Parisian creators.

Jazz Lares Aristis OVEL Boy Scout Troop Starts in Paris Three artistes responsible for much of what is now appearing at the Théâtre Larinov, and Picasso (above from Ballets Russes) may come and ballets may go, but the Russians go on for ever. The Diaghilev organization is at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, giving its seventeenth Paris season. The amazing thing about the Russian Ballet is not its longevity, however, but its surprising freshness and modernity. Larionov, Gatchinova, Picasso, and other artists responsible for the modernity of the Russian Ballet,
other artists responsible for the modernity of the Russian Ballet, live in the Quarter. In the last few years it has evolved into the most advanced group on the stage. The present representations include five new French ballets, Le Train Bleu, Les Fâcheux, Les Biches, Les Tentations de la Bergère, and Une Éducation Manquée, four Stravinsky ballets, Noces, Pulcinella, Petrushka, and Le Sacre du Printemps; Satie’s Parade, Cimarosiana, and Danses du Prince Igor. The chorégraphy is for the most part the work of La Nijinska. In general, it shows a welcome departure from the hackneyed steps and grouping. Under her
welcome departure from the hackneyed steps and grouping. Under her direction, the group performs with gratifying ease and smoothness. I cannot imagine why this season’s programme does not include Chout, Larionov’s delightful burlesque ballet. It is much more entertaining than the rather long-winded Parade. It is unfortunate that Ansermet, the veteran conductor, has been supplanted by five chefs d’orchestre. A ballet orchestra, more than any other, should have only one leader do all the conducting. Nevertheless, despite several minor shortcomings, I feel that this will prove to be the best season of the Russian Ballet. The little Cirque Medrano is
season of the Russian Ballet. The little Cirque Medrano is a favorite show with a great many Latin Quarterites. Visiting American artists and writers are sure to be dragged up there by enthusiastic friends. The clowns alone are worth the trip. Last week I saw Stark Young sifting with a group at the ringside. The Démon Critique of the highbrow Théâtre Arts Magazine seemed to be perfectly delighted at the lowbrow antics of the Fratellini and Chocolat and Porto.

Mercereau, sponsors some sort of entertainment; talks on politics, art, life, philosophy; musical soirées; poetry readings. Recently a group of American negroes, with the assistance of Miss Ruth Allen, gave a kind of Chamber-Souris, a "Shuffle Along" in miniature.

The present attraction at this little Left Bank playhouse is the Pitoeff company, which has come over the river from Rebettot’s Comédie des Champs-Elysées. Strolling along the Boulevard du Montparnasse suggests the current need of a book to be called, “What the Young Artist Wears.” One sees very little these days of corduroys and velveteens.

Some of the young men who have been in Paris long enough to feel themselves veterans, Quarterites, about two months, sport the interesting combination of plus-fours, beret, and cape. Paris, please notice. The attire of the femmes of the tribe strangely resembles the setup of the latest Scott-Fitzgerald lines. Jazz-bands, insufficient quarters, lukewarm public interest, and wholesale buying of musicians by America, are threatening symphony concerts in Paris. So says an article in the Correspondant by M. René Dumesnil, who reports an interview with M. Gabriel Pierné. “The lot of
reports an interview with M. Gabriel Pierné. “The lot of our musicians,” comments this eminent director, “has not been bettered since the war. Their profits are inferior to the amount of the syndicate tariff. But as we are an association, each one of them is in part an employer, and so the question of syndicate tariff does not arise. Formerly musicians considered it an honor to serve with Colonne Chaynière or LAMOureux. They are flattered by the honor even today, but the title, which then gave them more facilities to act as musical professors, tempts them less since they have
act as musical professors, tempts them less since they have found other sources of revenue which are superior to giving lessons. Indeed, the restaurants, the motion-picture houses, the dance halls, and the jazz-bands assure daily recompense to the instrumentalists which often amount to a hundred francs.” Worst of all, perhaps, is the “housing problem.” Since the founding of the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire in 1828, every orchestra has been haunted by this nightmare. The small houses with good acoustics hold small audiences appreciative and sympathetic though they may be. To increase the price of entry defeats the very purpose
To increase the price of entry defeats the very purpose of the Boy Scout who has so taken the United States by storm has invaded Europe and, with the founding of Paris Troop No. 1, has started his campaign on this side of the Atlantic. There are French troops here modelled after the American scouts, but this is the first attempt to start an American troop for American boys. The troop, organised by Mr. Leslie Lewis, who has done scout work all through the Near East, is made up for the most part of boys from the Auteuil Boys’ School.
the most part of boys from the Auteuil Boys’ School. There are seventy-three boys in the troop representing the different ranks, tenderfoot, first, and second-class scouts. To pass from one class to another they have to take many and various tests, ranging from the history of the flag to a knowledge of the art of making whistles. The boys meet every Saturday at the American Church, 19 Rue de Berlin, where they have a business meeting, pass their tests, and receive instruction in woodcraft, first aid, signalling, etc. First Hike.

Scoutmaster Lewis took them on their first overnight hike on Saturday when they were able to put into practice their newly-acquired knowledge. The troop took the train to Montsoult-Maffliers and then hiked about a mile into the woods where the boys pitched their tents and cooked their own supper around the campfire, all strictly according to best scout rules. After supper they rolled up in their blankets and slept on the ground like old veterans. The next day began with a short church service after which the scouts played scouting games and practiced their signaling and woodcraft, cooked dinner and

The boys considered the outing a great success and want to try their skill again at cooking steak and potatoes. The troop activities have stopped for the summer with the closing of the school, but the fall will find the lads hiking and camping with renewed ardor.

The troop enables the boys who live over here to keep in touch with the doings of the boys at home and also provides a means for the boys who are here for a short time to keep busy with scout activities.

Point d’Argentan is one of the most beautiful forms of needlepoint, derived from the original Venetian lace; it was highly prized in the days of Louis XV, when lace was so much in request for the adornment of both sexes, and some beautiful specimens of the day are to be found in museums.

Argentan lace, it may be mentioned, is very different from the Alençon product, with which it is often confused because of the proximity of the two places, and the Alençon experts were unable to lend any material assistance in the task of rediscovery. The réseau or groundwork of Argentan lace is formed of a twisted “bride”...the type that holds the pattern together—whereas in Alençon the groundwork is provided by a button hole stitching.
