he does not believe that there is any
thing to be gained by discussing arbi-

THE STONES OF PARIS
Charming Rambles Among Them
by M. Georges Cain.


Les Pierres de Paris" just published
by Flammarion, is the sixth book that
IL Georges Cain, who is an alert and
observing Partisan and curator of the
Carnavalet Museum, has devoted to the
hooks, corners, byways, buildings and
monuments of the city. NJ Cain is an
instructive, amusing and on the whole
trustworthy, if not profoundly erudite,
companion for a rambler in Paris.
One must not expect to find in this
book anything at all approaching the
masterful sermon in stones that lies in
Ruskin's Stones of Venice; nor does
N. Cain penetrate deeper into the fasci-
mating shadowland of vanishing Paris
than does The Stones Of Paris, in
History sand Letters by Benjamin
and Charlotte Martin; Yet it is some
thing much more detailed and COM
prehensive than .'Old Time Paris" by
Dr.. Edwards, which merely pretends TO
be a plain guide TO chief survivals'
Of the city NJ Cain nevertheless
makes the "stones of Paris" talk, and
their discourse is delightful and capti-
waiting Much Of the archaeology Is
drawn from the same sources as that of
the new work in twenty small volumes,
"Toutes les Rues de Paris" by the
Marquis de Rochegude, just brought out
by Hachette.
Les Pierres de Paris is admirably il
Illustrated with reproductions of old prints.
1t deals with old quarters of the "Blancs-
Manteaux," now disappearing, the Ma
rails the Place de Greve, etc, and
brings one down to the inundations
Of the Seine Of last January. There is an
excellent description of the real Mont
martre-not that usually seen by the
seeker of eccentric diversions, but the
beauties and relics of the "Mamelle du
Monde" as understood by the former
residents Of the butte among whom
were Berlioz, Alphonse karr, Alfred de
Vigny, Eugene Sue, Jules Janin, Henry
Heine and Chopin.
NJ Cain takes the reader to the
house where NJ. Charpentier composed
LOUISE and supplies a sketch Of the
famous Cabaret des Assassins" III the
Rue des Saules. The myth of the Man
sarde" of Bonap parte is cleared away by
-
ity Of Nictorien Sardou, the Duchesse
d 'Abrantes and Auguste Vitu, that Bona
parte never resided i'll the little attic

wrongly indicated by an inscription

but sometimes had d bedroom in the De

The scandalous Disagreement of Paris
that has already lasted three years, and
which may make the city Il noisy and
dirty workshop for some time to come,
owing to the unintelligent and needless
ly prolonged construction of the sub
ways for the underground electric rail
ways and the river bank improvements,
makes books like Les Pierres de Paris"
all the more welcome, because many OF
the old buildings, hooks and byways are
rapidly vanishing. c. I. 3.
