up on one of those 'rubber-neck' wag-
ons"
"Oh, | know you can-and you know
Paris so we'll already. But I've never
been here before, and I'd get so much
from this trpi."

points of interest" visited. And it's
so hot this morning-we couldn't walk
around much anyway.
They were now at the American Elk
press company, where Warren had
stopped to cash some checks and get
his mail While he was at the cash

of the Touring Paris leaflets and
