There was a lawsuit later about the

The lovers of Annecy never paid

Henri Bordeaux told all about the
fireworks in his book. which he wrote
in 1920 after the Imperial Hotel was
finished.
The hotel was large and needed
exploitation.
The Mayor was astute and Annecy
needed those 5000 forms and much
interest due in gold for over $50
years. And happily for the Mayor
and the town they fell upon the book
by Henri Bordeaux.
The ghost of Anne. her undying
love for the gallant Jacques and the
witching climate of Annecy would be
press agented for the benefit of the
loyelorn and unrequited heartsick

A Golden Link.

In fac, so potent is the spell cast
over the delightful region that the
revival of the story of the Lovers of
Annecy seems to keep the most
prosaic OF travellers bound to the
spot, to the delight of hotel pro-
prietors and prosperity of the town.
The talk from waking UP to Sleep
ing time. in dreams, through meals,
is OF Anne and the heart of Monsieur
de Nemours, mos. gallant of men.
At the kiosks, in the cafes the
story of these immortal lovers is re-
tailed. the municipal authorities help
along the spirit Of the romance. and
on every table beside the bed is to
be discovered copies OF "The Lovers
OF Annecy" as IL has been resur-
rected and retold in magnetic pen
strokes by Henri Bordeaux, the
kcademician.
1t is story that binds the visitor
to Annecy (and every visitor to the
resort is not either too intense or
jmpressionable) with chains which
are padlocked to the money chests of
the town, which are to an extent
filled by the hotels and pensions
whose prosperity depends on holding
the visitor in thraIidom as long as
the visitors money holds out.
SO with the fascinating wand of
loves mysticism. as it was practiced
by Anne OF Este and Jacques de
Nemours and visualized by Henri
Bordeaux. the sentimental visitor to
Annecy is held speIlbound.
How much these immortal lovers
loved nobody knows. The smile of
the ghost OF Anne seen by suscepti-
BILE lovers is said to be enigmatical.
Jacques wooed Anne and married
her after Francis the Magnificent
had been killed by Poltrot de Mere at
the siege of Orleans.
The marriage took place in the old
chateau IF Annecy after many diff
culties. Anne had lost a lot OF law
suits and Jacques was pursued by

OF blue blooded French neblewomen,
for breach OF promise of marriage. to

Fishermen are sometimes the victims

shark would take the hook. allowing
himself to be drawn almost TO the rock

sharks sharp jaws would sever the line

stout hook was attached TO a line by
