As | walled through the quaint
streets | noticed that many OF tine
houses, once the scenes Of nirth AMI
pleasure III the old creole days. were il
q dilapidate.l condition, and that tho
roofs Of some pre- jecte! Tar over the
banquette uuder the weight o. TIE
heavy tile covering. Many OF these
Old currer buildings are now occupied
by crcoics, Spanish and ItalieIa, who
sell frni, of all kinds and bio'e creole, a
iavuriie beverage with the creole chill
dren. These people take great pains in
decorating their shop windows, and
always point to them with pride. Every
evening, Sunday especially, these small
shops are crowded with little children,
who come from all parts of the district
to spend their picayuncs for p,a,tacs or
for cool glass OF Jiere creole.
One shop window particularly, at
tracted my attention. In tho center
there WAS beautiful pyramid Of pier
ines. male of all colors, with fruit OF
all kinds tastefully arranged in front
and on either side of tho pyramid,
making altogether q very pretty pic
ture for the children that crowded
around the window every evening.
AS l stood there gazing into the little
shop win low. the sweet and soltinn
music Of the chime OF bells suddeUly
pealeG forth from the towers of the st.
Louis Cathedral, and in a. minute after
wards old and young. grave and gay,
could be seen, with beads il hand,
hurryiuR along IN the direction Of the
old cathedral to attend mass.
