master of the order is the president
Of the republic during his term of
Office.
The home of the Legion of Honor
is a beautiful little place on the Qual
'Orsay. The original one was burned
down in 1871. during the Commune,
but was rebuilt at the cost of the
Legionaries themselves. 1t is there
that is housed the grand chancellor
who is always general. and whose
salary is $4,000. This is high salary
for France, when we consider that the
first president of the court of cassa
