mighty progress of civilization at homo

of my friends, making an engagement
for a reunion' later on in tho evening;
and directed my course to one of tho
quiet quarters of the city in which my
hotel was situated. The less frequent
tho bazars and show windows became
so much more insignificant becamo tho
number of foor passengers on the
streets. But it seemed to mo a milch
