A year ago tantalizing posters displayed the beauties of the Savoy, the Alps and the Pyrenees, accompanied by seductively low prices for a week of ski or 10 days of sun at Cannes or Nice on the Mediterranean. These brightened the sombre halls, so aptly called the "Pas Perdus" Halls of Lost Footsteps.

Today a few of these faded posters still hang In the Parisian stations but most of them have been covered by new ones calling for buyers of armament bonds, or huge signs stating frankly that the stations have become the exelusive property of the soldier. The East Station is the most characteristic, for It Is from here the soldiers leave for the front and the "permissionaires" arrive on leave. Entering at any hour of the day or night uniforms of every description are to be seen. The dull blue lights cast a ghostly palor over tired faces and gleam on the mud-colored paint of steel helmets. There Is much laughter and some tears; there are bright red signs and arrows pointing to canteens, barber shops, dormitories; there are special prices, special services, special privileges for the there are the dark blue veils and Photo by Charmbury.

The table was centred with the wedding cake. wreaths, but it didn do them any good, for the Russian ruler was not sensitive to these gentle tokens of disapproval. However some good came of it, and the following year saw a great exodus from Finland to the United States and Canada. Coming from a land of lakes and forests the Finns naturally take to pioneering on bush farms. Northern Ontario has attracted many of them, where they work in the mines, and settle on the farms.

Already they have organized successful co-operatives, one of which operates five stores with headquarters at Timmins, Ontario. The criticism has been made that the Finns, with their intense love of country do not readily adapt themselves to new ways, but that is passing. Their participation In our National exhibitions and folk festivals, and the efforts of missionary societies and other community enterprises are helping to bring them Into closer relations with their fellow Canadians.

The exterior is decorated with the draped flags of Poland, Great Britain and France. Inside, the walls are decorated with modern murals painted by the pupils between 15 and 18 years of age of a girls' art school. The work is particularly good and represents the historic, comic and fantasy.

"Anastasie" (censorship) with her large pair of scissors and long nose fills one corner; the soldiers of the three countries in the uniforms of the different periods depict the evolution of war; other scenes bring the freshness of flowers, the dance and landscape.

A soldier can buy a good meal for six francs (15 cents) and he is home here. They may do as they like. A shave costs them 50 centimes (about one cent) and a haircut four cents, Hundreds are served dally, for when the men come home on leave most of them must pass through Paris.

This eliminated their expenses almost totally. The Red Cross nurse said they did everything for the soldiers, from preparing their meals to writing their love letters. RECALLS CANADIANS In the reading room a small, grey-haired man was putting things in order when we entered. "Canadian?" he said, his eyes gleaming behind thick glasses.
