THE FOURTH OF JULY IN FRANCE

ices that the French pardoned it 1 its lack of charm. They will never forget what it did. They will remember it and assure it * a long life.

We are now going along the Quai d'Orsay. It was here that the American delegates held their deliberations after the armistice. Let us stop in front of the Esplanade des Invalides and glance at that splendid building, the Hôtel des Invalides. One of our French kings erected it to offer a shelter to his former soldiers.

However, it is the church with 2 the majestic dome that we wish to visit. It contains the remains of Napoleon. Travelers who come to Paris always visit it at least once. They come to this resting place to pay homage to this great warrior.

Usually they remain wrapt in contemplation before the tomb. They remain absorbed in their somber thoughts on the destiny of the great. Very often, while they are thus absorbed, the weather gets cloudy. They don't notice it. When they come out, and see the heavy clouds which are hanging over the city they put an end to their trip for that day.
