When the sphere of planning cre ates such entanglements of closed room and airy nature, then it serves in this way to meet the deep human need for daydreaming-a propensity that perhaps proves the true efficacy of idleness in human affairs.

[M3a,5] Hugo, in Les Miserables, has provided an amazing description of the Faubourg Saint-Marceau: It was no longer a place of solitude, for there were people passing; it was not the country, for there were houses and streets; it was not a city, for the streets had ruts in them, like the highways, and grass grew along their borders; it was not a village, for the houses were too lofty. What was it then? It was an inhabited place where there was nobody, it was a desert place where there was somebody; it was a houlevard of the great city, a street of Paris-wilder at night than a forest, and gloomier by day than a graveyard.

[M3a,6] "The last horse-drawn omnibus made its final run on the Villette-Saint Sulpice line in January 1913; the last horse-drawn tram, on the Pantin-Opera line in April of the same year." Dubech and d'Espezel, Histoire de Paris, p. 463. [M3a,7] On January 30, 1828, the first omnibus began operation on the line running along the boulevard from the Bastille to the Madeleine. The fare was twenty-five or thirty centimes; the car stopped where one wished. It had eighteen to twenty seats, and its route was divided into two stages, with the Saint-Martin gate as midpoint. The vogue for this invention was extraordinary: in 1829, the company was running fifteen lines, and rival companies were offering stiff competition-Tricycles, Ecossaises , B€mrnaises , Dames Blanches
