UNIVERSITY PUBI FOR FRENCH S COURSES C (Continued from Page One) are devised to give an opportunity to all American teachers, students and others engaged in educational pursuits to familiarize themselves at the source with the language, the culture and the people of France. Participants in the 1926 University of South Carolina Summer School in France will, so far as possible, will be placed with private families, unless they prefer to be accommodated in Pensions selected with the greatest care for comfort, atmosphere and sur roundings. Conversation and enter tainments in the Pensions will be ar ranged by the French professors in charge of each group. lmphasis will be placed upon the linguistic, literary and historical side of French culture, rounded out by con ferences on the history, art and archi tecture of the city of Paris and visits to its monuments Extended Excursions With the assistance of a French professor, the widest possible territory will be covered thruout the surround ing region, by means of promenades and excursions, generally by autocar; the understanding facts bearing upon the life and history of Touraine and the surrounding district from the lit erary, historical and social point of view will be explained. In this manner each participant is assured of an ex ceptional opportunity to review the past and the present of some of France's most interesting provinces. These excursions will take place dur ing the period of instruction. After this has come to a close, the student will go to Paris for two weeks, enjoy ing Promenades Conferences, visits to museums, buildings, suburbs and at tendance on the theatre. The intervals between the courses of instruction and ;t,he Promenades con ferences will thus be utilized in becoum ing acquainted with other parts of France; here again the journey will be under the guidance of a French professor thoroly versed in local lore and traditions, so that the visit will give an unusually clear and penetrat ing glimpse into the history of each district. The Courses of Instruction will be offered at Tours-University of Poi tiers, an institution of the first rank from Thursday, July 15, to Friday, August, 6 1926.

One of the important attributes of the professors in attendance at the pensions where p)articipants will be quartered will be to interpret and clar ify any dloub)tfiul point wvhichu might lin ger in the minds of the students, re viewving the subjects again if necessary, so as to leave no room for misunder standings or an incomplete grasp of the matter under study. Trhese are organized by the Societe des Prom enades-Conferences under the patron age of the Ministery of Foreign Af fairs, Ministry of Public Instruction, and Beaux Arts and the Office Nat ional du Tourisme.

We wuz about ready to decide to retire to our domicile as they didn't look no ways like they wuz gonna he a cyclone or anything that day. We (I and my sidekick) had just de cided that the weather-man wuz a poor, rotten, indecent, lowdown houn' of a liar and let it go at that. We (I and my sidekick) had abouted face and wuz beat in a unhasty retreat when I spied th disturbance bearin' down on us out of the immediate vicinity. She wuz some noise. I guess I musta been a little i the fog hecuz as she comes up she gives ne a nasty look and spits out, 'Rubber necksr". Me, bein' a nice boy and, not under standing such rough language, I chirps uR witli something like this. "Necker"? "Not me sweetness, but I'll bet some sweet angel chile like you will get me yet". With that she gives me a dirty Irish look and a wicked toss of the head, and enters the Rough and Ready. A fter such a "plum turrible" experience we (I and my sidekick) felt greatly the need of sonme sustaining refresh ments; so we followvs tout de swveet. The cause of my temperature had set tIed placidly at a table in the rear. We nor eyed b)ack andl took a seat near as they wvuzti't no red Ilag% or laterns or anything layin' about. We ain't got 'good settled til I hears a stirrin' behind me. Tlhinking the little lady had dlone got sorry for her rough treatment of mry good intentions and wuz gonna give me a sweet smile, I turns with one of my heart thrillers all ready to bloom but ttzn't nobdy only the boy done caome for our order of a dope. I gives her plenty time to see that I aini't interested in her none but is only time in for a cooling drink. Then I turns round to run into a regular shy little "Mary" grin. Thats plenty for me, I immediately invites myself over to a seat wi'h her as any 01(1 friend would have done under like circumstan ces. I ain't got situated good til she starts o" spill me her story (and I thought she wuz dlifferenit). It seems she wvuz a travel. ing saleslady. (Out of funds etc.) I telb her I'm awfully sorry but I'm a pooi hard working college hoy and ain't gait he able to afford anything more than i trip to Europe myself. By this timi my sidekick has got mny frantic signah: for assistce and( is rushing up wvith hurry call for me from the telephone I says "Olive oil" and "I'll look you ui w~hien I come back to town" and we pass. ed out the door humming "Applesauce | the good old appiesauce" (my sidekiel, a- n) Phone 6061 Service Is Our Motto: Give Us a Trial CHARLIE & MONRO.E McGHEE LINDSAY Tonsorial Kings WELCOME CAROLINA STUDENTS Meet Your Friends Here -- Opposite Jerome Hotel 1128 Lady Street Next to Woman's Exchange Gloco and other Advertised Toilet Articles SHAVING SUPPLIES Complete Stock - Tax Paid Columbia Barbers' Supply Company 1326 Main Street Columbia, S.
