the old story of the way Franklin ap-
peared at the court Of Louis XVI. Of
France is brought out again for an
airing. and il is urged that our Uplo-
mats should follow his example.

It wouldn't do. The janitor showed
us through a collection of horse stalls
on the third floor. and when l asked
him If he knew any place around

two chairs he blew out his cylinder

three dark rooms. and when I told

When l told him what we were
