for months come"
When one Of his party inquired what had i'm
pressed him most the Prince replied that the
great, orderly and cheerful crowds had been his
most continuous impression, and would probably
always he one of his most vivid Impressions
Continuing, the Prince said he saw crowds
out of door and indoors-faces of men and
women with here and there a powerful, a
beautiful or a spiritual face He said his re-
