PARIS. May e5.
You reproach me. my friend, for not
writing 20 you more frequently This
reproach gives me pleasure. because Il is
an indication that ! am constantly in
your thoughts But you add that as
for myself, scarcely ever think Of you,
even when the fever of Partisan life gives
me time. To punish you for your un just
suspicions sir. shall make no reply to
that remark bes;sles mamma has told
me that young girl should conceal her
feelings
Yes. during the five days that we have
been in Paris have not taken the time
to think of you, therei Is not this my
right We have 80 much To do At2a
m. we are still on our feet, and at 8
O'Clock In the morning we are up again
Not an instant Of reposc, not a single
minute which can be devoted to thoughts
of you. sir We are hardly dressed be-
fore we must step into the carriage and
be driven swiftly-to the Louvre, my
friend? No. To the Printemps; then to
the Bon Marche. and as far as the Saint
Antoine quarter; for we must not only
adorn your bride. we have also to think
Of furnishing the house where you are 10
take your wife Poor horsesi How glad
they must lie 10 enter the stable in the
evening
! will not compare myself to the horses,
or you might be led 10 suppose that |
would be glad to 80 home. Paris is very
amusing; papa and mamma have re-
newed their youth They say II Is due
TO the atmosphere Of Paris From one
end OF the day To the other papa has
a succession Of new ideas. and he ia con.
tinually urging us and hurrying us for.
ward We have hardly reached a place
before he wants to take ns somewhere
else, he calls US tortoises. and declares
that we will never be able TO see every
thing All. my friend. Partisan life is
not sinecure
Mamma !, well pleased and wants
papa to take her everywhere he used to
go when he was young man. So we
breakfast in one restaurant and dine in
another II know all the good places.
you see." These words are continually
in papa's mouth Very well, let me tell
you. between ourselves. papa did not
lead dull life when he was a young
man. and he must have spent his parents
money very freely. Yet the other day
when poor Henry asked him FOR a larger
allowance. he answered that in his time
young people were satisfied with cheap
restaurants and that his son ought 10
follow his example And. behold. papa
tells US today that when he was young.
his good places were Vefour's, the Paris
cafe. the English cafe, Ledoyen's, and
many other restaurants where we eat a
lot of good things that are not mentioned
in mammals Perfect Cook Book Last
evening we dined in restaurant where
papa asked If a waiter named Eugene
was still there. and on receiving an af.
firmative reply. expressed a desire to sec
the man. saying that Eugene used to
wait upon him in old times when he fre.
quented the place. Eugene came, but
he was not papa's old waiter 1t ap-
peared that this one was Mr.. Dumas
Eugene He seemed to answer just as
well. and papa was delighted.
Speaking of Mr Dumas reminds me
20 tell you that ! would have like very
well to see "Francillon. but they told
me that II Is not q proper play for young
girls As we passed the Palais Royal
papa and mamma looked at the bill. and
they talked to each other In low tone
could not hear what they said, but Il
must have been amusing. for they
laughed; and mamma said to me; "wher
you are married your husband will TAX,
you there" So there are somo thing
which one can't hear or see before being
married.
Papa and mamma are very happy. but

them so. because | do not wish to mai

amusing. but | am tired OF it: so yol

ually how any one can endure this noisy
distracted and agitated life. 1t Seem
impossible that happiness can be fount
