Let me look at the calendar
again. In 1925. They have Just
passed a new labor law, under the
pressure of the labor unions, which
thought the burdens imposed on
their members inequitable and in
tolerable. The working day is to be
reduced, henceforth, to six hours.
1t has been asserted that production
will not be diminished. On the con-
trary, all the theorists have promised
that it will be increased. In reality.
1t has been greatly reduced and
prices have risen again. A pair of
Moliere slippers costs now 1900
francs, and a pair of sabots 100
francs. The peasants, who make
the butter and have continued the
ancestral tradition of wearing sabots.
have raised the price Of butter to
correspond with the increase in the
price of sabots. At least, that is
how the newspapers explain it, add
ing that such an economic phe-
nomenon is absolutely normal. /

4 Palace and a Circus

"She built me a palace on the Nile,
in Egypt" Rigo is quoted as saying,
1T was in Cairo. And l had a menag-
erie, which my princess bought from
Barnum & Bailey's circus just to
amuse me.
Every day for eleven years she gave
me a present. Cases of jewels, dia-
mond revolvers and gem cases of dia-
monds and rubies. Once on my birth.
day she bought me a yacht On an
other birthday she gave me the en-
tire wine cellar Of a prince. Then
came the day when she gave me six-
teen black Arabian horses for my
stables, which she built with the marbs
house on the 1000 acres of land re-
served for her by the Khedive Of
Egypt"
Judging from the foregoing account
the exotic luxuriance of the furnish
ings sold at auction seems almost mild,
and it is small wonder that the couple
were troubled with debts.
Although Rigo states with compla-
.cency that he and his princess lived
together for eleven years, which was
longer than any of her later attempts
at domestic bliss, the end OF the
Egyptian idyll was calculated to shat
ter his pride. On a trip to Vesuvius
the princess was capsivated by an Ital-
ian porter and Rigo found himself de-
serted. But Rigo seems to have taken
his trouble complacently, for he still
had his smile and his fiddle, and
still continued to break hearts just
as rapidly as his former consort.
