Pougy set out for her autumnal sojourn
at Homburg to take the waters she en-
gagged the suite of rooms that mad just
been vacated by Mrs. Mackey, Of Ameri-
ca 1t was, Of course. the choicest suite
In thu hotel It fronted the Kursaal, and
looked both ways, like Janus. Mrs. Goe-
let, the wealthiest widow in New York,
arrived a day after the installment of
Lame de Pougy. Lane de Pougy's Jewels
By the way, are almost as fine as Mrs.
