4 Leaf From the Past
one of the most popular boulevards
in Paris extends from the Madeleine
to the Place de Ia Republique, dls'
tance of about three kilometres. Ia
that distance the boulevard bears eight
different names, and to stranger IL
is quite confusing, until you become
familiar with all the names. II was
on this boulevard, which at that par
ticular point was called Boulevard des
Italiens, that | met n fine old priest

Preparing to Get Ready
Returning to Ervy we found that

orders, but instructions to get ready
to move out at once when orders came.
