Eas Nepoleon's intention 10 erect four al
perb arches in different parts Of the city
out bis triumph did not last long enough &c
enable him to complete this one. 1t is q
,oble structure with magnificent reliets BY
the most celebrated French aItists-Rade
L,mare, Cortot and Pradier. A group for
the top was long the despair of the French
sculpters, and it was only in 1882 that the
present triumptal group was designed by
Falguieres and temporarily executed in

In the season the avenues of the Bols de
Boulogne leading to the lakes present one
one Of the finest spectscles in the world, for
the rich Of all nations contribute the most
beautiful toilets and equipages, and all that
is novel and striking picturesque or brilliant
first makes its appearance here. 1t ia a
little curious that whereas in New York a
little departure from the conventions is in
stsptly noticed and com nented upon, in
Paris, where the pronounced styles of Italy,
Austria and South America are blended with
the pure Partisan, people can wear what
they please without exciting attention.
Black, too, which is much a uniform with
US for middle aged women, is almost CON-
fined in Paris to women workers in shops
and possibly for this reason avoided by fash
ionable women. At any rate, the result 10
in fashionable sssemblage, in or out OF
doors, much rich color and always in con-
JUNCTION with black, masses Of fine jet or
high color toned down by lace, or upon en-
broidere. On Sunday the crowds are greater
but the dressing is less conspicuous; but it
is not uncommon to see parties OF workmen,
some Of them in blue blOuses, with girls very
uestIy dressed, dash up With flourish IN
hired carriages to the Pre- Catalan-:he cate

difficulty and killed her-and call for beer
and milk with an air which is republican if
not lordlv. The prettiest drive is through
he Avenue de Longchamps, lined with
scacias, to the right Of the lower lake and

go scrts, and it is not cultivated too much
or crowded too much with features. Some

To try 10 put Paris into letter is to en-.
tsvor 20 put the proverbial bundle of hay
no he needle. Where are the churches -
Notre Dame, the Louvre, the galleries, the
great markets the Hslles CoutTsles, 30 vast
set 60 minute, where provision can be made
tor an army or the dinner for two purchased
in the most exquisite state Of preparation
and stored away neatly in the dsintiest little
basket Prices are higher than formerly,
out the Partisan housekeeper does not have
to buy and pay for the refuse bone and skin
and tough residuum which falls to the lot OF
her New York sister-all that she pays Tor
is eatsble. A visit to the Hslles early in
the morning, prolonged until the small bay
ers make their appearance, ia an experience
never 10 be forgotten. The business OF the
markets in Paris is conducted even more
exclusively than elsewhere upon the cont
ueDt By women, and it is women who are
hucksters in the streets Of Paris The milk,

which they retail from house to house, are
