But who lived in the Tuileries? 1t was a
Royal Palace, but it was not the Palace of the
Kings; and the House of Valois never lived
permanently within its walls. Catherine de
Medicis held her court in the Louvre, in the
beautiful Hall of the Cariatdes full of the genius
of the sculptor Jean Goujon. Henry ". like
wise preferred living in the Louvre, from which
better view of Paris could be obtained
Richelieu, when he came to power, during the
minority of Louis Kill, disdained to live in a
palace not his own, and had one built for
himself,-the Palas Cardinal later called the
Paais Royal, which has also, according to last
accounts, been burnt down by the mob.
Louis XIV was too fond of his magnificent
Palace of Versailles to think of making the
Tuileries his residence, and that great monarch,
who extended such an admirable protection to
all artists gave the use of the Tuileries to the
singers of the Grand Opera, their music Hall

at the close of the representation of Irene, Vol
taire was crowned with flowers and laurels by an
admiring audience. 1t was the first time that
public opinion asserted itself so forciby, and
from that day, virtually, began the Revolution,
and when Louis XVI. arrived at the Tuileries,
from Versailles, after having received the dele

an end.
1t is useless to dwell on the weknown times
in which Royalty was uprooted from the land of
France, and a new era commenced in the history
of the Continent of Europe The Tuileries be-
came the seat of the impacable " Conlite de

On the LIST of February, 1900, Bonaparte en-

In 1914 he left forever the old Palace with
Maria Louisa and the King of Rome.
Louis XVIII and Charles Y. dwelt also in
the building which had witnessed scenes of
horror and of splendid pageantry but the restless
temperament of France, which is urging her on
towards Progress even though she knows failure
