Queer Initiatory Ordeal of New Art Students In Paris. The most curious of the many practical jokes perpetrated by the art students in the Latin quarter is a kind of initiatory ordeal which the two newest comers of a class are sometimes compelled to undergo by their fellow students of the Beaux Arts. It is a painters' duel, in which neither combatant, no matter how small his experience nor how great his nervousness, need fear for a fatal termination. The reluctant duelists are provided with tall stools and seated opposite each other at arm's length. They wear old clothes, and in the hand of each is placed a large paint brush charged with cok>r, the one dipped in prussian blue, the strongest and most vivid of azure tints. I and the other in carmine lake, which is a fine rich crimson. The word is given, and the two men begin to daub. Being usually strangers to one another and without the least cause of quarrel, they commonly show at first a great deal of caution and consideration, not to say timidity, and do not make much effort to inflict conspicuous streaks or to touch each other's face. Soon, however, one or the other gets a smear which he does not like ' and attempts to retailiate upon his opponent. Then the contest waxes i warm. The spectators hasten to take sides and urge on their favorite with shouts, cheers and encour- , - ?'PL. . agni^ uni's. 1 nu IUII siuuio lunn , ? the wet brushes spatter; the antag- 1 onists daub more and more fiercely and furiously until frequently men, stools and all go down together in a struggling red and blue heap upon the floor. The duelists are then assisted to their feet, shake hands, laugh at each other's appearance and adjourn to the lavatory, where they good naturedly help each other to remove the traces of the conflict. The knight of the red brush is found to have smeared his adversary until lie might pass for a hero of the goriest field of history, while the victim of the blue brush, if only j blue blood were a fact instead of a figure, might pose for a survivor of . an equally desperate fight. It speaks well for the temper and good comradeship of the students *?Aiwrh 4% L-irwl s\C 4'iin niirla lliill ?<?
