routine of sightseeing, l think, and
these quaint old-there, all get out
now l have the money. I'll take the
tickets; we're all fullfare, aren't We?
Or-how old is the little cross-eyed
one? | beg your pardon, Mrs. Bray
tree, but | had to know in a hurry.
There, come on, come on! Squeeze
through. Seven women and one
man. Hurry we want a compartment,
here-no, there Run, Edna, and get
ahead of that old lady; here's two UNI
brellas to throw crossWays. and then
you can tell her there's no room, and
the law will uphold you. You look
surprised, Mrs. Braytree, but
learned that little trick coming from
Havre l tell you, by the time get
to Paris I'll be on to every kind Of
game going. | learn fast-take to
Europe as a duck takes TO water, so
to speak.
We'll, we're off for Gisors Great
pleasure to have you with us Mrs.
Braytree: no more work to steer sew

What is it, Yyonne? I sent her ahead

child I hope she's not worried AS
soon as we get out of the tunnel III

tree; only l should think good many
would lose their heads as a conse'

Speaking of Gisors Mrs Braytree.
it's really a very interesting place
according tc the guide book. As far
as I'm personally concerned, Ia be
willing to take the time to go there to
learn how to pronounce II. The work
ings of the mind which laid out the
way to speak French don't at all jibs
with the workings Of the mind which
laid out the way to spell it-not ao'
cording to my way OF thinking
There's that place which we've Just
left, for instaance-'Ruin' as plain as
the nose on yOur-On anybody face
and its own inhabitants cant see X
pronounce the r in way that
should think would make their ton
CUES feel furry, and then end up az y.
on second thought, they wouldn't end
at all.
"Yvonne, wish you'd hang ont and
see If you see any OF Edna hanging
out. | declare, this is a very trying
situation to be in. You don't kno"
what trip | had, Mrs Ilraytree try
ing TO keep track of these girls, and
since We landed-well I just had to
call a halt in Havre and come on
alone. Curious place, Havre, don't
you think? See any one you knew
there We-who did Sou say Why,
thu. can't be, he's In Russia Yyonne,
didn't that young renrobate write you
he was going 10 Russia? Yes, thought
so. Well Mrs. Braytree says she sa"
him Havre. Good Joke his not know
ing We were IA Rouen; he'd have been
down there in iiffy, I'll bet anything
II presume this IS as good time
as well have 10 study up a little on
GIsors u seems TO have been the
capital OF the Vevin. ! shouldn't be
surprised II 'vc1' and 'yexing both
come from that country, for the guide
book gives It az always In hot water
The French and English were both "
against Il most Of the time, and II was
vexin' with vengeance. II SAYS here
that the old city walls are still stand
ing and that Henry II built the cas-
tie Isn't he the one We peeked
around IN Rouen? Yes thought 80
II says that there's very little left
Of the castle, though ! must say I'm
always glad when read that there's
not much left Of anything II gives me
