The little party spent q month il
visiting places of interest in Englan'
aud Scotland, and then went 10 Nor
way and Sweden and it was no
till the winter season that they ar
rived in Paris, at that time being il
its gayest attire.
Mrs Ostrander gained considera
bic, and the last letter from Mrs
Lovejoy to Margery said that they
had great hopes of bringing hel
around TO the bright and robust wo
man that they had so wished for.
Among the few Psrisians whom
Mr. Lovejoy had letters of introduc
lion to, was NJ Meunier, sn exceed
iDgly refined gentleman and a pleas
ant acquaintance. Several times b.
had tod them of the royal academy

that it was there that the best artist.

iions ior prize competition, and sc
great was the strife that whoever
was fortunate enough to take even q
second or third prize his star was as
cending to the zenith of notoriety
aud when a first prize was awarded
an artist il gave him rank with the
les ders OF the various departments.
NJ. Meunier had promised to take
them 10 the gallery on the very first
opportunity when others than mem
bers Of the society were admitted.
At last, on & pleasant afternoon, his
Iiveried establishment drew up in

the morrow, but through the kindness
of friend, a member of tue academy.

his friends there on that afternoon,
and that he would call at thres for

a noticeable effect on the whole par

they were in readiness some minutes
before the time appointed for the
start.
Marie gave several expressions of
her eDj 5yment during the drive to the
gallery, and by the time the building
was reached she was the happiest of
the party.
AD hour or more was spent in the
departments OF sculpture and draw
ing, and nearly an hour in the grand
gallery where the paintings were ex-
hihited
l. was understood that this was
but a flying visit; they would give a
day 10 each of the departments later
Ia the season.
L. was getting late in the afternoon
when NJ Neauier suggested that
they should 60 to the waier-color de-
psrtment-his favoriJe room, be ex-

show signs Of fatigue, but Of course
she would oblige him.
After the pictures on one side OF
the room had been burriedly examin-
ed, and the party huding they would
be late for dinner unless they made
haste, NJ Meunier proposed TO cross
to the opposite side TO see famous
