Grande Chartreuse monastery, near

was some years ago one of the best
known men in the gay world of Paris.

influential merchant In returning
from hunting expedition one day his
daughter was killed by the accidental
discharge of his shotgun, and the mel
ancholy affair preyed on his mind to
such an extent that he gave up all his
worldly possessions and retired to a
cloister, where he sought the most hu.
