ace at Biarritz in the hands OF a friend,
the Princess Ghika, and ordered her to
convert 1t into a military hospital
''As for me-" she added. Il am going
to efface myself. The times are so trag-
&c that those who were once rulers OF
men must aid them in all humility"
On the same evening Nathalia, unat-
tended even by a maid. entrained for an
unknown destination and her suite had
not heard a word Of her since
In the hospital where Bonnefon found
her, she volunteered herr services under
