' - ■ J fe; v (Continued from Page 5) - ————— ball bat and glove to all th* treasures the Louvre contains Thf tired little wife, too, longs t< be back in her kitchen but she is willing to say nothing in orde trip. Strange how each sacrifices happiness to give it to the other, and therefore each is happy—not from the other’s sacrifice but from his or her own. J Your rather rotund gentleman is a wealthy planter from the Argentine. He has been here for some weeks, or else this is not his first visit to Paris,—but what is the thing he is observing? It | appears to be some beggar. I shall give him something with w’hich to get a hair-cut. No, I am entirely wrong. It is an artist who is copying some of the faces from a baccal scene. I beg pardon again, he is rather an actor who is pretending to be a painter. He has discovered that he is under observation, and is acting the part admirably. His opening flourishes say, “Now watch me,”—already he has changed into a musician waving his baton to syncronize a twenty-four piece orchestra; now he appears to be a swimmer poised, dreading to plunge into the icy depths. He has decided not to plunge; how readily he changes individuality! Now he is an expert swordsman fencing with an opponent. Ah, the Argentine has gone, the actor relaxes into his real self, 'and while he waits for more spectators he touches up his canvas to make it look like the original. Quite different was the diminu tive in an inconspicuous corner of the last room through which I passed. He had forgotten that he was in Paris—thousands of miles from home; he knew riot thal there were other persons there as well as he. Oblivious of the facl that it was then mid-afternoon and he had had no luncheon, he was living in the painting at the *nc of his brush—the scene of arres :1 in the Garden of Gethsemane Once he came out of his trance to survey his work and to study the original, and then he was work ing again with feverish inspira tion. From time to time he paus ed to breathe and live again. Perhaps Christian, perhaps a worshipper of Buddha, he was certainly an artist. The long haired superficial pre tender has begun again, this time for the benefit of Frenchmen who are passing. A playful lap dog has become interested in his antics and pauses to watch, while-this supercilious mistress and, com panion drags it onward by the leash. Two Russians have paused be fore that table made from Floren tine marbles. Observe how. their eyes grow wide with wonder as the guide explains to them that the various colors, the leaves petals and thorns of the roses are different pieces of vari-colored marble set in so skilfully and polished so smoothly that the most sensitive finger can not detect a flaw. There be two types of human ity—the type that can see every thing in the Louvre in an hour and a half, and the type that can spend a life-time there and not see it all. There be modifications of these types in between. This ob servation is caused by the sight of that ill-matched pair whom I notice for the second time. The one takes in a room full of master pieces in a single glance and then hurries to a window seat to give greater expression to the fact that the ennui is annoying. His com rade strides each object with tire less tiresome thoroughness, ir ritated by the other’s inordinate haste. *■ Yon supercilious smile anc lofty mien befit the Arab sheik tc whom they belong. Those American school-marms are bliss fully ignorant of the fact that they are being surveyed by the burn ing cold eyes of the Oriental. That family of Spanish nobilit^ seems to be seeking some particu lar painting—perhaps portraits of their ancestors. They pass haughtily by that old gentleman, I do not mean “old”, I mean “antique.” He tries to appear venej-able—methinks he is out of place somewhat, he should be down in the archaological rooms. The portly gentleman there an nounces With his first gesture on entering the room that he’s from New York—and further that he is not ashamed of that fact. He is rapid, precise in his gestures— sure of himself. Art has no ter rors for him—he has none of that awe and reverence in the presence of sublimity. Every line of him breathes out wealth and ease. The picture most provocative of pathos and emotion causes but a slight ripple in his ocean of self assurance and self-satisfaction. I judge that he will not tarry here long—there is not sufficient at traction to hold for long the at tention of a man of his parts.- I am undecided whether he will be in London tomorrow night or in the Swiss Alps. There go two travel cotn | panions—strange pair! The one an Englishman—rather a cosmo politan citizen of English birth. He has just returned from South Africa, let us say; and the lad who is with him seems to be from India—slender and silent, he is the lesser of the two. He has scarcely spoken, but listens atten tively to what his comrade tells him. What strange co incidence has linked together these two? Perhaps the one saved the other’s life in a thrilling adventure in Calcutta eighteen months ago. and out of gratitude the elder took the younger with him. Gratitude and respect have changed into mutual friendship without them selves being lost. But enough of this for a time. I shall return later to renew my geography lesson. • .
