AN ART-STUDENT IN MUNICH.
have no ideas in my brain bnt “2 Zimmer zu vermiethen.
Ein sehr schon moblirtes Zimmer zu vermiethen an einen
soliden Herrn, und gleich zu beziehen.” Think how old-
fashioned it is here in Munich even, when a servant-girl
will be sent round with a number of such advertisements,
and a paste-pot, and pastes them up at the corner of the
streets throughout the city: I had the amusement of seeing
one perform her business. At present we remain at the
Inn.
You will naturally wish to know what we have done
about the most important thing of all,—our artistic arrange-

I, of course, was therefore anxious to see this gentleman and
his works ; but I am disappointed,—and, in fact, we for the

were strewn with grass and flowers; whole forests of
birch-trees seemed to have been cut down to decorate
the houses j they were arranged side by side against the
walls, so that the procession seemed to pass through the
vista of a green wood. Barniers, tapestry, garlands,
floated from the windows of the houses, which were
