left her apartment in Paris

She told her maid that the
strain OF remaining in Paris

for her.
She plans to return tonight
and in company with a few in

and await the result of the
fight.
The strain Of the last few
hours broke through Madame
Carpenters brave and smiling
front with which she has been
meeting all visitors. She be-
came increasingly nervous and
yesterday was so upset she
couldn't endure the ordeal of
meeting any except a few Of her
oldest friends.
She told them she was trying
to be brave and worthy Of her
