VERSAILLES AND THE TRIANoNs V ersailles,
for nearly a century and a half the habitual
residence of the French court dates from
Louis XIII. Fond of hunting in the neigh
boring woods, he, or at least his courtiers,
got tired of sleeping in a wayside inn or a
windmill, and built at first a small pavilion,
whose site is still pointed out. Afterward he
wished for a real habitation, which grew and
grew into what it is now. After the first
revolution Versailles ceased to be the abode
of Kings. The Convention made ali inven-
tory of the furniture and sold it. The Bona
parties never cared much about it. Napoleon
neglected Versailles and called it at st.
Helena "ville batarde, regretting even the
small sums of money which he had spent in
contains is in great measure the per-
sonal work of Louis Philippe. The
trianons are two miniature palaces
or boxes, built as escapes from the
heavy grandeur of Versailles, when its
royal occupants happened to tire of their
dignity. They are LIE Grand Trianon and
LIE Petit Trianon: but at first sight you would
say that the big one was the little one, and
the little one the big one. The Grand
Trianon, with the pride which apes hum ility,
is only rez-de-chausee, ground floor, while
the Petit Trianon has a basement, first
floor, and an attic, all outwardly visible.
The delights of both are their gardens and
pleasure grounds. The two Trianons are to
Versailles what Sir Walter SCOTS hill cottage
was to Abbotsford-a retreat to which he
could retire, taking his work with him, and
leaving Lady Scott to entertain the blue
bottles in the great house, and who, as Mr..
Carlyle said, were really blue. This feeling
that the Trianons were refugees of royalty is
manifested by the fact that Charles Y lin
gered there before his final departure into
exile. Louis Philippe, too, after leaving st.
Cloud forever, made a farewell halt at the
Trianons. The last sovereign of France pro-
badly bade them no adieu, because he ex-
pected to revisit them in triumph and increase
their treasures by some new trophy. Man
proposes !-A0 the Year Round. e.
