Religious Foot Washing In Paris.

The church, being fond of striking
contrasts, put forth all her pomp while
the archbishop was going through the
humiiations Of the ceremonial. Strict
ly speaking, there is no foot washing.
The 10 INDECENT old men had their feet
washed before they came to the cathe-
dral
When seated there in a. row, stock
ingless, but with slippers resembling
those worn by seabathers at Trouville,
the archbishop approaches them, attend
cd by his Wears general. One of these
ecclesiastics bears golden ever, With q
narrow neck, in which is scented water,
and the other basin and napkins Of
fine damask linen. A footstool is before
each old man. The basin is set on it by
the archbishop This done, the person
whose feet are to be washed withdraws
them from the canvas slippers and holds
them over the basin. His grace then
pours a few drops of water over each
foot This done, towel is handed to
him, and he wipes the water away.
AS there are II persons to be attend
ed to, this Office, which is taken to SYM
bolize Christian charity and humility,
