CHAPTER vI-YvoNNE TO HER MOTHER
Paris
Dearest Mama; We are arrived. 1t is Paris at
fast But thought shoHld surely die in tran
ait I don't know what Uncle would have said if
he had known that Lee in Rouen; he was
oreadfully upset over Mrs. Braytrees telling him
that she saw Lee in Havre. He very unrea-
HOnable and laid 1t up against Lee that Mrs Bray
tree him Just as Lee could help it,
We had a pretty good time coming down. only
7dr. Edgar came up and down with US and
bf course Uncle did not like that / think that Mr.
Edgar Up down with me because we
had a lovely time on the steamer coming
Eether, but Uncle hardly gave chance 10 speak
him. Uncle seems just instnctiveIy 10 know
whom Edna and want 10 talk TO- and then won't
Get U.s. But OF course I'm not complaining. for it
lovely Of him TO give this trip and we're
enjoying every minute.
We arrived last night. and the only drawback
fs that Mrs. Clary isn't here She left note and
~. Siblet's wife is his mother and has place
put Neuilly and they invited there for three
days. She VIII be back Tomorrow and she left
word for us TO straight TO the Bon AIarche and
look at the white suits; did so. We told
Encle it was all right for 10 go alone, and he
had just gotten his mail, so he only said Hum ="
and we went Just as we were taking the cab VINO
should we see but Mr.. Chopstone. II was so lovely
90 him again, and he got into the cab and went
with We went 20 the Bon Marche but It wasn't
much fun with man, We came out after a
little. and he proposed taking the subway and go
ting TO the TrOcadero. Just then we met a man
that M Chopstone knew, and he had red hair and
Eyeglasses. Mr. Chopstone introduced him. and
invited him 10 go along; but he 1t was no use
because II was the wrong day and We couldn't get
On when We got there. BY this time we were down
IN the subway. and Mr.. Chopstone suggested that
go 10 the Bos, not TO have to go back uE
The stairs again. While we We're talking the train
ana went in terrible hurry and we gol
aboard IN between After We're of We found
Iaf WAS G1'f m IA f1D+s
what TO do because. Of course it was he that we
knew, and not the red haired man. The red haired
rnan said he would do whatever we pleased. and
Edna thought we had better get right off; but
thought We ought to 80 right on. We didn't know
what 10 do. and so we kept 20 the Bois.
The Bois just lOvely-an automobiles anC
babies; and whom do you think we met? Betty
Bur9eigh. We were surprised, I thought She
was in California for her lungs; but It seems thai
shes been IN Dresden for her music all winter and
now she's here for her clothes. She was with an
elderly French lady, and I don't think that the
elderly French lady liked 10 have her stop and
talk 20 us. thought at first that perhaps il wasn
proper on account OF the red haired man, but IN Z
second saw the real reason Betty glanced
around ana said "Oh. Madame on est FaIdr?
Nghereupon the elderly French lady looked abso
luteiy terrified and tore madly Of. We had quite
long talk before she back with the mos
swfu little black dog, which they evidently haC
no string She put him down and began to lool
6isplsased again. and Betty just glanced about ant
Baid calmly, "Oh. Madame Oh est Falir?" II
had absolutely vanished again. and the elderl!
French lady sort Of threw up her eyes and rushed
wildly away. The red haired man said 'Wh,
don't you buy a chain for him2' Betty shrugged
the Frenchiest kind OF a shrug and said 81 don
have 10 chase him" The red haired said -
should think she would buy chain then :" anC
Betty shrugged much Frenchier shTug. and said
~I wouldn't allow It. While she is running aftel
him do please" The red haired mar
iaughed- Poor madame came painting up with th'
creature just then, and Betty said sweetly. "Lais
Eez-lu courir," she had 10 put him down; but
could that she meant to keep a sharp eye oI
him. Betty wanted all TO 20 the Palai'
and lunch with her; but of we refused, be-
cause you wouldn't have liked il, and any way. We
had 20 so back 10 Uncle. She wanted the red
haired man 20 stay, anyhow. and was quite put out
when be declined. Just then two men I'm an auto
mobile came up and asked her go and the
balloon ascension. They didn't invite the elderly
Fnench lady. and she protested about CONNIE 81
raut"-but Betty said, 'O0 est Fakr?' and, II
you'u believe me- that little beast gone again
and poor madame dashed of in pursuit. Betty
made short work OF bidding goodby then, and
az once got into the automobile, and of.
We came slowly along back with the red haired
man, and at the Arc de Triomphe into Mr..
chopstOne IT seems he went station TOO far be-
cause he met some people he knew in the ne
hind US and he says must all 20 10 the Chateet
with him tonight 70 make up. lie said Uncle,
TOO" so We accepted. Then took cab and
came back 20 the hotel, where found our beloved
relative with his feet the centre table, reading
the Paris Herald" lie looked the top at us
and announced thai he'd done tie Louvre"
think We must have looked STARTLED. for he went
