The Perfect Place 10 Dwell In.

where, some day, we should find the
Perfect place which was 10 combine the
charm of the middle ages with the com-
fort of the nineteenth century-the Al
bert Durer town which could be reached
IN railway train, with medieval streets
through which the dinner bell would
make pleasant sound, where there
would be plenty of picturesque dirt in
other peoples houses, plenty of fresh
water and clean rooms III our own hotel.
Perhaps this is a bourgeois ide; Bul
then that is our affair.
Eight years of wandering had brought
us no closer to our undiscovered coun-
try. when, last summer, as we were
travelling i'll the mountains of-but no!
why should we tell the name: Why
break the serenity of its billy streets
with the rush of personally conducted
parties or of easel laden artists: Why
turn it into another Barbizon or La
queries, another Chester or Nurem-
berg? Besides, we have exploited so
many places in our day; we have, in our
recklessness, presented the painter, the
illustrator the magazine writer wit
more motives than they can exhaust LIP
a generations we have, by our enter
prise, developed the cycling trade to an
incalculable extent, and by our praise
made the fortune of half the hotel keep
ers in Provence. And the result for us?
Not cycle manufacturer would give us
a machine if we asked for it, not a land
lord would throw us IA crust were we
starving, not an art student would find
a spare moment to thank us. No; the
name of the most picturesque place in
the world we shall keep to ourselves. 1t

years old, medium height, and slight
build and not very prepossessing in his
appearance. He drove Il poor horse
hitched to an ordinary covered buggy.
