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. Among the diverting institutions south of the Seine is the Caméléon in the Boulevard Raspail near the Rue Campagne-Première. A tiny hall adjacent to a little café, it is a sort of artistic clearing house. Almost every night in the year, the Caméléon's director, M. 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. A good performance of jazz, blues, and spirituals, was somewhat delayed by lectures on "The Black Soul" and kindred topics. A 'Jacques Copeau has folded up his cement tent at the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier and called it a day. At least for the summer. 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. The well-turned-out young artist, male, affects plus-fours and cap, though a few insist on retaining their Harvard flat-hats. 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.

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 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 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 of the Boy Scout who has so taken the United States by storm has invaded Europe and, with the founding

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 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. 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 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 hiked to the station to take the train back to Paris. 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. Paris Troop No. 1 is made up mainly of boys whose parents live permanently in Paris but there are also boys who are in Europe only temporarily. Scoutmaster Lewis wants the troop to be considered a permanent thing and not merely for transients, although all American boy scouts in Europe are welcomed into it. 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

ANNOUNCEMENTS. A cat may look at a queen, and, in French, has been called a very remarkable spectacle. That’s not as hard as it sounds. An optician of that section, needing a good advertisement, has persuaded the shop topic to allow himself to be fitted with spectacles. And now all day long it sits before the door, gravely regarding the passers-by through horn-rimmed cat goggles. Mrs. Mary Sterner, who was for a long time associated with the Knoedler gallery in New York, is managing an art exhibition at 15 rue de la Ville l’Evêque. Its purpose is to give Paris a view of what is being done by contemporary American artists. It is not so thoroughly representative as one might expect. It includes the works of many painters and sculptors who are known throughout the world, such as John Singer Sargeant, James McNeill Whistler, L. A. Arthur Murray, and many others.

Argentan Lace An interesting anniversary was celebrated in France a few days ago at the town of Argentan, near Alençon, when the school founded half a century ago to revive the lost secret of making Argentan lace was visited by a number of local lace celebrities, and the Sous-Préfet presented a medal to Mlle Pecker, the sole survivor of the first apprentices employed in the establishment. 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.

But the secret of its manufacture was gradually lost. It was only after long and difficult experiments that the mystery was solved. 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. To appreciate the respective and distinctive merits of the “points” a mere glance at representative specimens is sufficient. The production of the Argentan school is prized by all lovers of beautiful lace on a par with the finest varieties of needlepoint, which include the famous ANNOUNCEMENTS.

YALE SENIORS HONOR SPORTS ABOVE STUDIES - Majority Votes Varsity Letter in Athletics is Preferable to Phi Beta Kappa. NEW YORK, Friday — Yale seniors, both in the College and Scientific School, choose the major sport letter as an honor more to be desired than high achievement in classroom work. The results in the annual college balloting at New Haven showed that 127 preferred the “Y” and 95 the Phi Beta Kappa key. Bill Mallory, Captain of Yale’s championship football team, fullback on Walter Camp’s all-American eleven and catcher on the baseball nine, was voted the man who had done most for Yale and the best all-around athlete. Charlie O’Hearn, captain of the baseball and hockey teams, received the same honors in the “Sheff” balloting. First Year Hardest. Most of the students agreed that freshman year was the hardest and senior year the most pleasant. English and economics were declared the most valuable subjects, while Latin and Greek did not receive a single vote. Dickens, Stevenson and Dumas led in the vote for favorite prose writers; but “The Wife of the Centaur” was the best liked modern novel. As for magazines, The Saturday Evening Post, Time and Vanity Fair led all the rest. John Barrymore and Jane Cowl

Perry, the newspaper man; Pat, the campus policeman, and Cornélius, the laundry man, finished in the lead in the voting for the most popular campus characters. Princeton was the college preferred next to Yale. There are 247 seniors who smoke and 84 who do not. Montraix Holds Floral Fête—Light Made to Turn Corners NEW PARK FOR N.Y.
