dinner with him. We knew that the
regulation way to do was to write to the
poets secretary, asking permission TO

that, and soma Of us was on the point of
leaving Paris as We wrote our names on
a card with the magic word Chicago
thereon, aud wended our way to the
Avenue Victor Hugo. We were shown
into the family parlor, a pleasant room

odd old clock and few choice brouzes
