has been great exchange of travel be-
tween London and the French capital.
Many English women have, OF course,
had their yearly trip to Paris for a long
time; but never were there seen in Lon
don SO many French women Of the high

King and President Loubet.
When the French President came to
London to returnlthe British sovereigns s
visit many French people chose the oc-
caslon to make a voyage of discovery for
themselves. They dined at the Carl
