can be perfect withluit s iwledge
of its art life and the methods by
which it is pursued. Paris is full of
boung men and young women who
have euteted the mace for fame, soeni
of whom stake, not only their bodies,

its of the Itadians or thundering viyas
of the Grand Opera. They come here
from happy homes in England and
America and countless numbers of
them perish in the race.
They study in Germany c~nd.Italy,
