CHAPTER VIII.

Mother and daughter sat down to dinner.
Sophia's face was full of care; but by some
accident, or by the caprice Of fate. she was
beautifully dressed, and looked very charm
ing in her sadness The beautiful attire was
not, indeed, very surprising, for Sophia gave
such particular attention to dress and was,
besides such "cololst,' that don't sup
pose she had an unbecoming gown in her
whole wardrobe. Tonight She wore "a dress
OF pearl gray with tucker OF white lace
round the open front, and garnet brooch,
which | suppose she had pinned in 10y chance;
but it was in the best taste Indeed, If the
poor heart-sick girl had spent two hours at
her glass and dressed herself for rivalry OF
conquest She could not have looked more
lovely. just as an accomplished writer when
he is thinking least of form will throw off his
most finished piece, 30 Sophia, who was true
mistress of the art of dress did this evening,
when her thoughts were far enough from the
toilet. deck herself out in a way which most
of all displayed her charms. Mrs. Barbara
Temple marked her as she sat

She would accept Prendergast that night.
No sooner lad they got into the drawing
room than Mrs Barbara asked Sophia to sing

Sophia sat down and began her favorite:

Dinner. the great meal of the day, is taken

nurse of the diner can afford, and even tne
noorer classes have their soup and wine. Dlll-
uers are served at the hotels i'll table move

and the plates are changed with every course
In most of the hotels fixed time is set for
dinner. and all of the guests must be at the
table at this time. Beside each plate there IS

on for about an hour and half, making ten

the uuts and cheese and after dinner coffee.
There is no coffee or tea drank during the
meal. and the rule is to drink wine mixed with
water. Claret is the most common drink

than usual one morning and paid a VISIT 70
the markets Going down narrow side
streets where tho bare headed women were
busy cleaning in preparation for the day,
took a car down the Rue de Rivoli and soon
! found myself in one of the strangest ana most
bustling scenes Of Paris. 1t was about
| o'clock and the wholesale market, which lasts
until Q a. IN, was going ON. In each Oh
these great pavilions crowds OF roughly
dressed women and men were gathered ABOUT
little pens where eatables were sold ut auction:
There were hundreds of chickens cleaned ana
dressed, thousands of rabbits in square, low
baskets, tons of fish, and vegetables innumer-
able. Each pavilion had its special character,
and watched first the selling of chickens
The auctioneer, sturdy Frenchman IN
white apron, stood behind counter, and at
his side was a little white capped woman who
was keeping the accounts and taking the cash.
Around the outside of the boX-like counter
a few men and perhaps sixty women IN whlte
caps, shawls and cheap dresses stood with
eager calculating faces, and made their bids
on the lots put up for sale. The dressed chlcK-
ems were brought on great board crates, car
ried upon the heads of porters, about hali
dozen ON each crate This crate would be
laid down on the counter, and the auctioneer
would sell the lot to the highest bidder. The
sales were made very fast, a half minute only
g being taken to each lot, and fresh half dozens
Q of chickens would be laid down as fast a.
S those sold were taken away The porter
!. were brawny fellows in hats of heavy fell
I painted white and with brims about fourteen
p inches wide. They in all cases carried TN
o goods upon their heads, and they were dressed
/ in the peasant costume OF France.
In another pavilion | saw live rabbit
auctioned off in basket lots of about doze
each. and in the meat markets sides OF por
and quarters of beef We're disposed of in tn
same way The whole scene was one 9
rush, blood and bedlam. One could hnrdl
hear his own voice, and the very air SCENE
mad with buying and selling. The us
market presented the same scenes and III
snails and frogs and other Shiny things wei
iobbed off in lots. The butchers porter
looked worse than the most characterlst
murcerers of the stage. They had whl'
caps covered with blood, and carried the
meat in some cases upon their heads. Inc
aprons and white gowns were also blood,
and when looked at them and the roue
women of the markets the scenes OF u
French revolution appeared before my ment
vision.
The market women of France and of rai
wore the most active of the revolutionist
