Exhibition and all its surroundings are so unfinished. In

except pictures. England and her colonies and depen-

I never saw such a display of bunting in my life, and I
must say the effect was charming. But the Parisians

short, I simply occupied a bedroom which had been
secured for ma on the second floor, foe which I was
charged the modest sum of Ski francs a night, which
together with service and candles, came to 30 francs. I
dined at the Ca&Anglais with two friends. We had
soup. fish, cutlets, and roast ehleken, and two bottles of
champagne, for which we were charged 83 francs, my
francs each, everything is charged in that like proportion,

economical place to visit during the Exhibition. and I
