IN FAIR FRANCE.
We were four days in Paris and too
much engaged to call on any dignitaries
or to ascend the Eiffel tower. At Notre
Dame Cathedral, we saw the cassocks
OF the three murdered Archbishops,
Darberi, Afre and Sigour, that of Dlr.
beri riddled with bullets. 1t seems that
to be an Archbishop OF Paris is to invite
martyrdom. The rich treasures OF
Notre Dame arc we'll worth seeing, 1t
might be thought that France has
churches enough, but at Marseilles they
are Just completing a magnificent cathe.
drai in the Byzantine style. This too,
will belong to the government, though
the government does not furnish the
money.
We were day at Nice, where it has
been 10 cool this summer TINT visitors
would not remain, and the tradesmen at
that famous watering place arc com
planning accordingly. And, what do
you think? -T'
AT TIE GAMBLING TABLES.
We spent half day at Monte Carlo
and took peep at wha. was going on.
Ten years ago when l was there, l did
not enter the gambling establishment,
one OF tho most gorgeous palaces in Eu-
rope. This time resolved to see the in
side Of it. Not word is spoken in that
gilded cavern OF vice. Tables are c9v-
cred with gold or silver pieces. The
players put down and the croupier rakes
in. Tho intense anxiety is painful to
behold. Seemingly the most absorbed
of the players are the women. You
must understand that women Of high
social position play at Monte Carlo. Su.
icides? II there were any the day we
we're there did not hear OF them.
At Genoa is one Of the most beautiful
small churches in the world, tho Anun-
ciata. The exterior is plain, the interior
superb. 0ae Of the sights Of the world
ia the Santo Campo, Just outside OF
Genoa. The attraction lies in the nu.
merous statues OF exquisite design and
workmanship.
