[90] The slope from these boulevards to the rue de Lamartine and the rue St. Lazare (between the rue de Clichy and the rue de Rochechouart) is affiliated with Montmartre, and by a stretching of the point may be said to belong to it; but its population is too largely made up of bourgeois and the exploiting cocottes of the Olympia, Moulin Rouge, Casino de Paris, and Folies-Bergères to admit of its being absolutely co-ordinated with the Butte.
[91] Called logement to distinguish it from the appartement, which is more pretentious. The kitchen of the logement is provided with running water and gas; and the gas company is required by law to furnish the tenant who does not pay more than 500 francs a year rent a new gas range, gratis. Ateliers are relatively dearer, and the artist does not easily find an atelier in which he can live and work for less than 600 francs.
[92] Recently deceased.
[93] At Montmartre, as in all parts of Paris, hand-carts may be hired for a few sous an hour.
[94] Cyrano de Bergerac.
[95] A seaside resort.
[96] It is not a rare thing for a Montmartre organ to speak of a trip to the Grands-Boulevards or the Latin Quarter as “un départ vers les pays étrangers désignés sous le nom des Etats-Unis de Paris.”
[97] The word hydropathe was absolutely without significance in this connection. It was hit upon by the merest chance, and welcomed because it suggested nothing that could mislead or occasion dispute.
[98] Salis died several years ago.
[99] One of these just beginning to be known, and hence sure soon to be spoiled, began with improvised tables made by placing boards upon wine-casks, and with other paraphernalia in keeping.
