southeast Five generations lived under the
same roof tree, Mrs. Rabazs being the head Of

the Island Of Monaco, but came to this country
when her daughter was widowed by the eIplo-
sion of gun on board the U.SS Princeton.
While she was still in Spain she met Napoleon
Bonapsrte and conversed with the Empress
Josephine. Her life, beginning a. it did we'll
back in the last century. was a varied one,
and it was her custom for years to
interest her friends and relatives with
"reminiscences of her youth and Of the inter-
esting people and things she had seen in her
long life. Both physically and mentally she
was remarkably active. but since the death of
q granddaughter several months ago she has
seemed quite broken, and it was realized that
her life could not be prolonged much further.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAB:
Since suggestions for q location that will be
acceptable, both in an artistic and public view,
for the Lafayette monument, and one that will
at the same time honor the French nation,
seem TO be in order, the writer begs leave to
suggest the place now occupied by the useless
and not over beautiful fountain that is situated
on the west side of 1919 street opposite the
west front of the Treasury Department This
location with its surroundings and the White
House in the distance would make, it is be-
lisved, as desirable place as the city affords.
