Exchange and the Hotel
Normandie, and I was too tired to go to U. S. Minister Morton's
reception at night.

22.--Called and had a good chat with Charlotte B. Wilbour, of New
York; called also on Grace Greenwood; visited the Hotel des
Invalides and walked in the gardens.

23.--Theodore and Marguerite took me to St. Cloud by boat and back
on top of tram-car. Delightful!

27.--Today, Sunday, we went to Pere la Chaise and saw great crowds
of Communists hanging wreaths on the wall where hundreds of their
friends were shot down in 1871--a sorrowful sight.

28.--At noon we went to the College of France to witness the last
honors to Laboulaye, the scholar and Liberal. Saw his little study
and sadly watched the priests perform the services over his coffin.

29.--Left Paris at 9 A. M., Theodore and his little Elizabeth Cady
going with me to the station. The parks and forests are green and
lovely, the homes cozy and pretty, France is a beautiful country. I
have enjoyed the last three months exceedingly, but I am very, very
tired; and yet it is a new set of faculties which are weary, and
the old ones, so long harped upon, are really resting.

would be to meet a person who has so often been praised in my
presence. Hoping you will forgive my intrusion, and have the great
kindness to let me know when I may have the honor to call, I am,
madam, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

[Of Le Soir.] A. SALVADOR.

PARIS, May 20.

MY DEAR MRS. SPOFFORD: I have just come from a call on Mademoiselle
Hubertine Auclert, editor of La Citoyenne. I can not tell you how I
constantly long to be able to speak and understand French. I lose
nearly all the pleasure of meeting distinguished people, because
they are as powerless with my language as I with theirs. We called
also on Leon Richer, editor of La Femme. He thinks it inopportune
to dema
