what do the French think of the worlds

TT IS difficult to say. Those who saw IT
went back very enthusiastic distinctly en-

they were not appreciated. AS TO the arch

that epoch In which they could be content
with fragile architecture In the guise of
permanent construction They do not
build a plaster facade two inches thick
with an interior that does not correspond.
They believe in making everything dis

French. But the general effect was highly
