who stood near her, and remarked that
It was Just the sort Of cane that might
have been used at the charity baZaAr
fire to beat the ladies.
The count, who overheard the re-
mark, interpreted It as an inslnuation
OF cowardly conduct on his part toward
women at the fire.
Immediately withdrawing from the
salon he sent challenge to ". de Reg

newspapers as a coward. This resulted
In a challenge from de Regnier, after
three days spent in the discussion Of
conflicting statements as to the pre-
else words used by Mile Heredia ana
Nine de Regnier, who had echoed her
sisters remarks. The Count de Mons
