In other words l had to leave my cozy i apartment for a while or I knew that my female tyrant would make life unbearable for me by those thousands of mean little tricks known only to a
 Paris concierge, against which you
 are absolutely defenseiess.
 I found Plomieres-les-Bains as
 cold and wet as I had expected it,
 but crowded with society people. all
 dreadfully bored and all asking what

 through the room the news has spread
 that Monseigneru Angouard the Con-
 go missionary will give a lecture at
 Hotel Deschauseaux, the hotel of all
 priests and religious people. Of
 course this news does not interest us at all, for even if his lecture might be ], interesting nothing in the world could induce any of use to attend lecture by a black" You know in advance : whom you will meet there and whom not Not single gambler. not a single dame dernier cri." nobody in fact but the members of the poorer aristocracy and the badly dressed bourgeoisie
 On the stroke of four these people meet in the large hall and when they are all seated, firm steps are heard in the corridor and Monseigneur's inn posing figure appears in the doorway smiling at everybody. He pretends to to tell about the g years he has spent in voluntary exile. First as a
 soldier in the Foreign Legion and then
 when he was tired of shooting heath

 about it if she did not dress as if she . had wrapped herself in all the curtain portieres and draperies of her hotel. Velvet in the most screaming colOrs with futuristic embroideries is her
 special hobby and no matter whether
 it be cold or hot she wears costly fur
