Every visitor to Paris Is interested in
the Bourse de Commerce, or old Corn
Exchange, and the fluted Doric column
relic of Marie de Medicis palace. From
here 1t is a step to the Bank Of France,
with precious cellars stocked with dia-
lnOnds and bullion carefully guarded.
Then comes the garden of the Palais
Royal Where is the splendor always
associated with this romantic name?
Here is revealed a tragedy of departed
glory. There Is a promenade beneath
small shade trees; there Is a basin of
water which does service as a foun-
taini there are one or two flower beds.
There are sculptures, too, and in the
afternoon, when the band Is playing,
the court takes on somewhat of a fes-
tive air. But by morning light, when
nearly deserted, 1t is dreary enough
The trinket shops around it's borders
show cheap and tawdry wares. The
cafes which occupy the second floor are
good for their inexpensive kind. Here
is the entrance to the old vaudeville
theater of the Palais Royal In the
garden are occasional benches. 1t would
be interesting to stay until noon when
the little cannon placed behind the
statue of Eurydice is fired automatlcal-
ly by means Of burning glass.
An essential element in the charm of
Paris Is the abundance of flowers. The
larger flower markets, at the Madeleine,
ia the Place de la Republique and on
the Quai aux Fleurs, are supplemented
by the flower kiosks scattered at inter
walls along the boulevards, by the big
baskets of blossoms which one sees car
ried on the backs of men and women
porters, by the bouquets of flower girls.
and the gorgeous window boxes which
light up by day the Avenue de POpera,
the Rue Royale, and the Rue de la
Pax. Paquin's windows fairly fame
with living color. The naples In the
gardens of the city have put their
corals on" The lilacs wave their pur-
pie plumes. The acacias are all out in
bloom, and the chestnut trees along the
Avenue des Champs Elysees have lit
their mimic chandeliers" Flowers are
SO cheap that anybody can afford to buy
their, and almost everybody does.
Many countries have contributed to
the splendor of that palatial edifice of
art and pleasure, the Opera House.
Marbles from Italy, from Spain, from
Scotland and from Sweden embellish it,
from Finland even, and from far Alge-
ria. In front of it great bronze can
delabra stand. The facade Is beautiful,
and there are interior glofies OF red and
goll of mirrors, starry ceilings, spark
ling with rows of lights that look like
strings Of jewels.
Many tourists lunch at the restaurant
of the Eifel Tower. The view is fine
and the ascent easy. The visitor can
walk up the 100 steps to the second
landing, but it costs as much as it does

impression which Versailles makes, I'M
til the tourist has visited the palace and
IS lost In lmaglng mentally all the
sp:endor Of it's long ago, the formal GER
emory of the reigns Of Louis XIV. and
XIV, the courts of Maintenon and Du-
barry, of Marie Antoinette and her friv-
olouS ladies, who knew no better than
to dance and sing and play at living
while the people starved. Then the Gu
riously elaborate surroundings seem
more reasonable, more in keeping. And
when the visitor enters into the deep
recesses of the wood and hears the
nightingale singing-the nightingale
which they say sings not of sadness but
Of joy in a newborn consciousness of

could it speak, could tell such interest

lied that old Versailles is quaint and
lOvable.
Leaving Paris for Rouen, tunnel Is
traversed, cut right through the old
Qualifications of Paris. Clichy Is pass
ed, and Colonies, the Maisons La
ftte, where many of the wealthy hnan-
cers of Paris live. Next comes Palsy,
the birthplace of st. Louis. The train
dashes through many little towns along
| the Seine, with alluring Vlstas through
thu. foliage. At Vernon is seen the ruin
ed castle which Philip Augustus built.
Finally, near Rouen, on hill rising
from the Seine, is the pilgrimage
church of Bon-Secours, where stands
the well-known statue of Jeanne dare,
which depicts her in armor, with hands
folded, posed beneath the vaults Of a
pavilion.
There is little Of interest between
Rouen and Dieppe. The road traverses
cheerful and pretty district. where
factories are scattered over the nearer
view. In the journey the river Seine Is
crossed twenty-five times by actual
count. There follows the night voyage
on the channel, and next morning the
tourist reaches the hospitable shores OF
merry England"
