THE STREETS OF PARIS THE SHOW-PLACES OF PARIS—NIGHT PARIS IN MOURNING THE GRAND PRIX AND OTHER PRIZES AMERICANS IN PARIS

Illustrated by CHARLES DANA GIBSON

"The street that I knew best in Paris was an unimportant street, and one into which important people seldom came, and then only to pass on through it to the Rue de Rivoli, which ran parallel with it, or to the Rue Castiglione, which cut it evenly in two. It was to them only the shortest distance between two points, for the sidewalks of this street were not sprinkled with damp sawdust and set out with marble-topped tables under red awnings, nor were there the mirrors and windows of jewellers and milliners along its course to make one turn and look. It was interesting only to those people who lived upon it, and to us perhaps only for that reason."
