Since the year 1780, the four teenth of July has been as impor tant a day to the French as the fourth is to us, and for much the same reason. Because of opposi tion on the part of Royalists and the Church to their demands for a government based upon ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity, the people felt obliged to resort to violent measures —the destruction of the monuments representing the reign of luxury and tyranny, of which the Bastille was considered the emblem. The attack upon this citadel of the old regime was felt to be a real Declaration of Inde pendence. It was once my pleasure to be present at the celebration of this day in Paris. The city seemed more magnificent than usual, for all the buildings and monuments were decorated with flags, every body was dressed in his best, and everything wore a festive look. All the national theater* (those supported by the government) have free admission on this day. There are four of these: The Op era, the Comedie Francaise, the Opera Comique and the Odeon. Needless to say, great crowds await the opening of the doors; the narrow streets are packed. The policemen are faithful to then duties, and there is perfect order, your cooperation will be needoh although the multitude must be impatient with the long waiting. It was sit the Opera Comique, where, after much difficulty, I suc ceeded in reaching safely the high est seat "en Paradis." There were given that day two short operas, "The Daughter of the Regiment" and "The Cid," ad mirably acted and sung, for all the singers had received long and se vere training at the National Con servatory. "The Daughter of the Regiment" was evidently chosen to please the masses, the plot being founded upon a pretty story of the young daughter of a military offi cer who loved a young man of in ferior station; after surmounting many obstacles, they were finally married, to the great satisfaction of the audience. Between the two operas, the Marseillaise was sung by a young man with a fine tenor vo:ce, who held an immense flag, attached to a pole twice his own height. When he came to the line in the last verse, "O Liberty, dear Liberty," he foil upon his kneees, while sing ing. The effect upon the audience was wonderful. The patri me feel ing was so intense that several repetitions were demanded. One must have been hard-hearted in deed not to have been moved by the spectacle. It is to be hoped that the French Republic, founded upon just prin ciples, and established with much THE GUILFORDIAN sorrow and suffering, will con tinue to endure. The spiritual awakening that has come to France during the progress of the war, will doubtless prevent ihe re turn of sentiments which Jed to the destruction of the Bastille. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. Last Thursday evening we ex pected to have Miss Willie Young to conduct prayer meeting; how ever we found at a late hour that it was impossible for her to come. Then we decided to have • vesper service on the balcony. Bessie Guthrie read the sixteenth Psalm and several girls repeated their favorite Bible verses. After a few songs the meeting was dismissed with the Mizpah benediction. The cabinet girls with Misses Julia White, Martha Ewiug and Willie Young left Friday after noon for a camping trip to the '"Oaks." The wagon was loaded down with blankets, good things to eat, and a crowd of happy girls. They expect to return late Satur day afternoon. HAVE YOU ORDERED YOURS? "The Quaker" has just been re ceived, and is admittedly the best edition that has jet been publish ed. It is receiving commendation from all sides, and is a book that the college and the two classes are justly proud. For some reason we are not receiving the support and backing of the Alumni and old students that we should, and at the present time have received only seven orders from them thus far. It was thought by the two classes that they could depend upon them for moderate support, and hope to see it forthcoming at an early date. If you have not yet sent in your order, address a letter to A. L. Riddick, 'l6, or F. 11. Men denhall, 'l7, and you will receive one by return mail.
