Marie Antofnette's Arcadia.

Active progress is being made with the
restoration of the Petit Trianon, the his
toric spot so aptly described by the Broth
ers Goncourt as the Arcadia of Maria An
toinette. 1t will be remembered that the
village was the outcome of that love of
nature inculcated as wholly novel pre-
occupation by Rousseau. When Louis XVI
presented the queen with the Trianon Park
Marie AntOinette conceived the project of
making 1t the site of an ideal rustic set
tlement. The painter Hubert-Robert and
the architect Mique were intrusted with
the task, and they dotted the delightful
glades of Trianon with tiny thatched cot
tages, put up miniature mill, of which
Louis XVI was the miller, laid out pleasant
gardens and devised secluded bowers and
inviting hooks. This artificial village was
the scene of the rustic balls, which were
the Sunday amusement of the court on the
eve of the revolution. Though often re-
stored, it has for years past been in ruins,
but once again is to be resuscitated and
will provide visitors to the coming exhibi-
ton with further attraction.
