Dear Miss Blue,

Posing the Question ... Paris, the City of Lights, is that the Paris you are researching in your Columbia Encyclopedia, Miss Blue? But then, I, baffled as I was at the question, found myself musing: how about Paris, the handsome Prince, how about theTrojan War, how about the outrageous antics of the Prince and Helen? Yes, surely you must have chosen That Paris. Silly but Shrewd Am I.

So, Aesop, the Slave, the Original Philospher, came before Paris, The Trojan Prince, before Santa Claus, the Elf, and before the Easter Bunny, Mother Nature's Fanciful Helper. . .
