We went short distance out Of our

SO often between the French and the

throughout the entire year with funer-

Germans after the disastrous termina-

were signs in both French and Ger

past odd little houses, a slow flowing
river with locks and bridges. After
wards I found out that this part of the
city was known as little France. AT
last 1 came abruptly to the cathedral
which looks as if one spire had been
knocked off. but as 1 understand it,
they have never erected a second one,
but have left place for it, Inside a
row Of girls in charge Of sister were
kneeling. and when their prayers were
finished they filed two by two away to
school. The morning sun cast soft
glow through those beautiful rose win

on the new born day.
Returning to the hotel stepped into
a tobacco shop where a withcred octo-
genarian showed me post cards
Whether she was suspicious of my Ger
or not, she asked me if did not speak
