she has received no letter from him for three

have always been accustomed to believe that
modesty was not virtue as much praeticed as
some others among our Gallie cousins, but my
former notions have been dashed to earth by the
following incident which was told me the other
day gentleman and his wife we're travelling
in some far off land where, there being no hotels,
the weary wanderer is Obliged to put up with
the somewhat meager accommodation afforded
by monasteries and other similar institutions.
On arriving late one night before one of these
refugees from the sins and foes of the world,
the gentleman, after some delay, gained ad-
mission for himself, but ladies were al
lowed within the sacred precincts, his wife
was RELOCATED to neighboring convent.
There, as there happened at the
time to be an influx of travellers, the lady was be-
slowed in q large loft generally used for pur-
poses of storage, and which was then occupied by
a company of images of saints from the convent
chanel who were being treated to fresh coat of
paint. AS the lady proceeded to remove some of
her garments previous TO retiring for the night
from modesty I refrain from mentioning which),
she perceived the saints, and saw that st. Peter,
whose eyes more bright from fresh paint, was
ixedly beholding her DISAGREEMENT She paused
for a moment somewhat abashed, and then look
ing UP again, saw that Paul had fixed her with
his eagle eye. She stopped again in her toilet,
and then-she went round, turned all the saints
with their faces to the wall and thus secure
from even the curious gaze of wooden saints. re-
tired peacefully to rest After this, no one, am
sure will pretend to call in question the innate
modesty of French woman.
