colonial life like the weeds and strange growths

colony. There are colonists that one does not
meet at the Grand Hotel or on the Boulcyards.
One who Knows told me that during the siege
Americans came to light OF whose existence the
Legation was not aware. There are those who
come here for study and rest-literary people and
artlsts-who slip down to Fontainebeau during
the summer and in the Winter do their work in
quiet, out oftne way studios, over near the Luxem
bourg. When Mr. Lowell came here he took an

shops, and was never seen In hotel or banking
