Peter's. The tomb, a massive sarcophagus of red granite, is in a huge marble well, lined by statutes, and stacks of flags, captured by the Emperor, now hinging limp, faded, forlorn from their standards, and slowly crumbling to dust. Not far from the Arc is also the Place Malsherhes, better known as the Place Dumas, with tin; statues of the It fee Dumas, grandfather, father and son a record for genius that few other families in Europe have been able to beat. Lest many Negroes do not know, let me say that Gone but not forgotten, One year has passed since you left us; So sad was the shock that day when The voice we loved was stilled Your place in our home can never more be filled.

9. Me revoici a Paris, ville de beaute, de gaite, de l'amour, et la vie etincilante which means in the president's English: Back again in Paris, city of beauty, gaiety, love and the sparkling life. This marvelous city by the Seine is the same as when I left it nearly two years ago. The day I arrived it was raining, as usual, being perhaps the rainiest place I know. There are the same crowds thronging the boulevards, drinking at the bars, or sitting on the terrasses, nipping their hocks, aperitifs, and cafes; the same crowd of tourists in the neighborhood of the Opera; the same crowd, hurrying to work, and so on, and so on.

Only two changes I have been able to note so far; the number and din of the taxis seem to have increased; and the ladies at the Follies-Bergere have accomplished the impossible.

Here is the quarter of the tourist agencies, and the shops that cater to rich Americans. Speak French in this neighborhood, and if English is your mother tongue, you'll very likely be answered in that language.

And so we come to the end of this article without mentioning the Opera, said to be the largest theater building in existence; the Trocadero with its splendid view, its art gallery, and statues of two Negro queens in front; the tulles, or market with its Apache dens, Pore Lachaise with the tombs ol the Abelard and Heloise, Corot, Chopin, Oscar Wilde, Rosa Bouheur, and other notables, and the Park Mon-ceau, one of the most, delightful sylvan spots in existence.

In tills article we shall attempt lo give an impression of the topography of the city, with its old cathedrals, arcs de Triomphe, squares, gardens, towers, palaces, cemeteries, theaters, avenue, cafes, art museums.
