leaving this room we passed through
one where slippers were being tried on.
NOW, as l mentioned before, the French
women have very small feet, so YOU
can Imagine what darling little Cinder-

Napoleon from the tomb of Frederick
the Great, at Potsdam, Germany, in
1906, was also destroyed on the same
occasion. The lofty dome, which ends
in lantern aud a cross, is nearly a
hundred feet in diameter and was
gilded in 1861 by the electro plating
system The tomb is beneath the
