The EMPRESS EUGENIA AT A WATERING PLACE-It
Is stated that during the past summer the Empress
Of France was at the Faux BONES, watering place
at the foot Of the Py-anees, and might be seen
rOmping up and down the mountains, trudging at
times far as the snow that lies all summer along
their sides picking her way foot by the springs
not at all afraid of losing her dignity, but pretty
of finding health and spirits careless how she
mudded her feet; but yet with her dress pinned up
in nOnchalent STYLE that it need not be unneccs-
sariy soiled Ii must have been an infinite relief to
her to escape from etquettcs for while and scam
Her tour was infinitely more agreeable than the te-
dious pageants and parades to which the poor
Prince Of Wales has during the summer, been made
a victim
