The first sensation with both sisters,
when they came within view Of the
mighty city, was disappointment. Rose
felt her heart sink within her. The
houses were so high, the streets SO
long and dreary; the city seemed a
wilderness Of stone and plaster. All
the trees on the boulevards-those long
new boulcvards by which they entered
Paris-were white with dust, and had
Il withered look. The houses had a
poverty-stricken air, despite their size
and newness. They looked like biz
white gaols. As for flowers or foun-
taius, parks or gardens, there was no
sign Of any such thing.

leen piteously. Those girls at the con
ven. must have been horrid story

flowers, all fused themselves into one
dazzling picture before the eyes Of
the two b~ewildered, wearied young
travellers.

Some ingenious Paris dealers are re
ported to have invented q way Of en-
hancing the market value of their
wares. 1t is said that they color
ordinary oranges a deep red, making
them look like mandarins, which fetch
much higher prices. They also tint
.plueapples to make them look more
attractive, and dye the common white
strawberries "a lovely red. Melons are
being treated IN a similar way and
tinted a fine orange. their flavor being
increased by injecting an essence of
