STRANGE AGITATION,
THE CHINA MAIL,
Because of the proference shown by British and American tourists for English guides to "do" Paris, certain organisations are pressing for a law limiting to Frenchmen the right of lecturing at Versailles, Fontainebleau, and other show places.
"Down with the “aliens!" and
"The Englishwoman must go!" are the cries of the leaders of this strange agitation. An objection to certain Dutch guides who are popular in Paris is marked on the part of the French organisations supporting the campaign.
sion of English guides should suc- |cced, some steps will certainly have to be taken by the English tourist agencies to ensure that visitors shall have better treat- ment than the French guides have given them hitherto,
"Many of the so-called guides are out.
These are people we shall never see again. That policy does not help the French and people who cater for visitors: the wiser plan is surely to make visitors want to come again.
"English visitors can best be advised by English people who know the ways of Paris and ean protect them against profiteers."

CELEBRATIONS.
The Duchess of York attended the Jubileo celebrations in connection with Lady Margaret Hall College, Oxford. The Duchess, who wore a biscuit-coloured
coat and close-
fitting hat of the same colour, was
present at the luncheon at the col- lege. at which the guests included the Archbishop of York and Sir Oliver Lodge, and afterwards she
presented the insignia of the D.B.E. to Dame Elizabeth Wordsworth.
The Archbishop of York, in pro- posing the toast of the college, said he had always been a most ardent advocate of the women's college at Oxford. He remembered the days when students were still chaperoned to lectures.

His experience of many genera- tions of women students at Oxford WIS that they regarded it as primarily a place of learning, and not, as many of the men students did, a place of amusement tempered by some Irksome discipline. In spite of the ardour which the girls addressed to their serious studies, his experience was that they had been all along healthy, human, happy-hearted girls,
The students were able to keep the spirit of Oxford in peace. It was all very well to talk about Oxford still whispering the last inducement of the Middle Ages: that might have been true once, but it was true no longer.
