A bright, cheerful sun has lifted, this morning,

November had thrown over Paris. For fortnight,
the Bouevards, 30 gay whenever thes does shine,
have been dreary waste. No handles have stood
smoking their segars on the steps of Torsoni's In
deed, the race of Boulevard dandies would seem to
be extinct. "Othslo's occupations gone" and the
"lion' is no longer needed Is walking advertise
ment by the tailors, now that the latter have in
vaded the finest windows on the Boulevaris. The
basement story of each of the huge new buildings at

rue de la Michodi1e, is occupied by tailor. The
largest Of these shops, or rather bazaars, counts

peculiar physiognomy. 1t could be recognized only
by its unrivalled shop windows, which were as
brilliant ever; but their spell was broken. Not
