We had to go to lunch, and uncle
doesn't like the food very much; he
says 1t strikes him as "fummery,"
and he is really very much vexed over
Mrs. Clary's being at Neuilly. Edna
is vexed because Harry 10 there, too,
and I'm very much vexed indeed be-
cause she thoughtlessly gave uncle
the letter at lunch, and when he read
about Monsieur Slbilet's wife being
his mother he was more put out than
ever. He said we could look out for
ourselves this afternoon, as he had
to go to the bank. Edna suggested
that we 60 to the Louvre, and he said
yes, that would be wise, because then
we would all be free to enjoy our
selves. Uncle speaks Of the Louvre
exactly as If it were the semi-annual
siege at the dentists. But he was
kind enough, to 6fIer to leave us there
on his way to the bank, and when we
took the cabc he arranged with the
cabman and the hotelporter exactly
what the fare was to be, and held 1t IN
his hand the whole way.
Edna and / were mighty glad to get
to the Louvre without uncle. especial

wasn't Mrs. Merrilegs, in q state Of
collapse on one Of the red-velEet
benches. We went to her, and she

She looked very white and tired and
almost ready to faint and we sat
down on each side Of her IN real sin

course, It was he that we knew, and
not the red-haired man. The red
haired man said he would do what
ever we pleased, and Edna thought we
had better get right OF; but ! thought
we ought to go right on. We didn't
know what to do, and so we kept on
10 the Bots.
The Bots was Just lovely-all auto
mobiles and babies; and who do you
think we met? Betty Burleigh. We
were SO surprised, for ! thought she
was IN California for her lungs; but 1t
seems that she's been in Dresden Tor
her music all winter, and now she's
here for her clothes. She was with
an elderly French lady, and ] don't
think that the elderly French lady
liked to have her stop and talk to us.
I thought at first that perhaps 1t
wasn't proper on account Of the red
haired man, but in second ] saw the
real reason. Betty glanced around
and said, "Oh, madam, on est Fakir?
Whereupon the elderly French lady
looked absolutely terrified and tore
madly or. We had quite a long talk
before she came back with the most
awful little black dog, which they eVi-
IDENTIFY had no string to. She put him
down and began to look displeased
again. and Betty Just glanced about
and said calmly. "Oh, madam, on es
Fakir?" he had absolutely vanished
again, and the elderly French lady
sort Of threw up her eyes and rushed
wildly away. The red-haired man
said. why don't you buy q chain for

have said II he had known that Lee
was in Rouen; he was dreadfully up
set over Mrs. Braytree's telling him
that she saw Lee in Havre.
We arrived last night, and the only
drawback is that Mrs. Clary isn't here.
She left a note, and M. Sibilet's wife
is his mother, and has a place out at
Neuilly, and they were invited there
for three days. She will. be back to-
morrow, and she left word for us to
go straight to the Bon Marche and
look at the white suits; so we did so.
We told uncle It was all right for US
, to 60 alone, and he had just gotten
his mail, so he only said Hunt" and
we went. Just as we were taking the
cab, who should we see but Mr.. Chop
stone. It was so lovely to see him
again, and he got into the cab and
went with us. We went to the Bon
Marche, but it wasn't much fun with
a man, 30 we came out after a little,
and he proposed taking the subway
and going to the Trocadero. Just
then we met a man that Mr.. Chop
stone knew, and he had red hair and
eyeglasses. Mr.. Chopstone introduced
him, and invited him to go along; but
he said It was no use, because It was
the wrong day and we couldn't get in
when we got there. BY this time we
were down in the subway, and Mr..
Chopstone suggested that we go to
the Bois, so as not to have to go back
up the stairs again. While we were
talking the train came and went in a
terrible hurry. and we got aboard In
between. After we were OF We found
that Mr.. Chopstone wasn't on. We

Poor madame came painting up with
the creature just then, and Betty said
sweetly, "Laissez-lui courir," so she
had to put him down; but ] could see
that she meant to keep sharp eye
on him. Betty wanted US all to come
to the Palais and lunch with her; but
Of course we refused, because you
wouldn't have liked it, and, anyway,
we had to 60 back to uncle. She
wanted the red-haired man to stay,
any how, and was quite put out when
he declined. Just then two men in
an automobile came up and asked her
to go and see the balloon ascension
They didn't invite the elderly French
lady, and she protested about CONNIE

little beast was gone again, and poor
madame dashed on In pursuit. Betty
made short work Of bidding us good
by then, and at once got into the au'
tomobile, and was OF.
We came slowly along back with
the red-haired man, and at the Arc dc
Triomphe we ran into Mr.. Chopstone
It seems he went station too far be
cause he met some people he knew In
the car behind US, and he says we
must all go to the Chatelet with him
