Antwerp.

In her last letter Grace Greenwood
speaks Of Antwerp and its arr collections
as follows:
Antwerp is Wonderfully rich in fine
old churches, and each one has its treas
ures oil painting, stained glass, carving,
or sculpture, It's organ, or carillons,
which make the worship of the poor old
saints, the "Man OF Sorrows" and the
peasant woman of Nazareth a LUXURY
for the eye and the ear. The beautiful
Church Of st. Jaques has the tomb Of
Rubens, st. Andrews has a marvellous
carved pulpit and fair portrait Of Mary,
Queen Of Scots, ornamentlng m0nu-
nent to the Curll sisters, her beloved
maids of honor. 10 one Of them, it is
said, she gave her last earthly embrace.
Antwerp is more prosperous than 1t
was half a century ago, but it will never
recover the proud place it held in the
commercial world before the dark and
troublous times Of the spanish suprem-
acy. Traces OF that period Of tyranny
and bigotry still exist, and give an air
of sombre romance TO the town. There
is little lite here OF business or pleasure,
but sort Of dreamy fascination, max.
ing it easy to linger day after day in the
quiet, quaint, poetic, papistic, gable
ended Old city.
