Description
Excerpt from Bohemian Paris of to-Day
It is a student that presents the insight which this volume gives into the life of the students and other Bohemians Of Paris. It is set forth with the frank ness Of a student. Coming from such a source, and having such treatment, it will have a special charm and value for the wise.
The students are the pets Of Paris. They lend to the city a picturesqueness that no other city enjoys. SO long as they avoid riots aimed at a government that may now and then Offend their Sense Of right, their ways of living, their escapades, their noisy and joyous manifestations Of healthy young animal life, are good-naturedly overlooked. Underneath such a life there lies, concealed from casual view, another life that they lead, - one Of hard work, Of hope, of aspira tion, and Often Of pinching poverty and cruel self-de nial. The stress upon them, of many kinds, is great. The utter absence Of an effort to reorganize their lives upon conventional lines is from a philosophical belief that if they fail to pass unscathed through it all, they lack the fine, strong metal from which worthy artists are made.
