named on their pedestals. The stained-glass window behind it has a
representation of a processional function with the body of the Saint,
showing this church, together with a view of the original church of Ste.
Genevieve, the remaining tower, and adjacent houses, historically most
interesting. The window beyond the shrine also contains the history of
Ste. Genevieve--her childhood, first communion, miracles, distribution of
bread during the siege of Paris, conversion of Clovis, death, etc.

Indeed the long sojourn of the body of Ste. Genevieve in this church has
almost overshadowed its dedication to St. Stephen, several memorials of
whom may, however, be recognized by the attentive visitor--among them, a
picture of his martyrdom (by Abel de Pujol) near the entrance to the
choir. The Protomartyr also stands, with his deacon's robe and palm, in a
niche near the door of the sacristy, where left and right are frescoes of
his Disputation with the Doctors, and his Martyrdom. The chapel
immediately behind the high altar is, as usual, the Lady Chapel. The next
contains a good modern window of the Marriage of the Virgin.

Examine in detail all the windows; one of the mystic wine-press is very
interesting. Votive offerings of the city of Paris to Ste. Genevieve also
exist in the ambulatory. Curious frescoes of the martyrdom of the 10,000
Christians on Mount Ararat on the north side. The best view of the choir
is obtained from the north side of the ambulatory, opposite the shrine of
Ste. Genevieve. In the north aisle notice St. Louis with the Crown of
Thorns. Stand again in the center of the nave, near the entrance, and
observe the curious inclination of the choir and high altar to one side--
here particularly noticeable, and said in every case to represent the
droop of the Redeemer's head on the cross.

As you emerge from the door, observe the cold and bare side of the
