ing very unpleasant experience.
Owing to an intrigue on the part of a
Paris journal-so goes the story

prison, where they stayed for some
days until Intervention on the part of
the diplomatic authorities set them
free again. The pictures were being
taken in the park at Versailles. Four
young ladies from the Casino de Paris
were engaged to take the leading parts.
At first they were accused Of making Il
picture for propaganda. then, as one
of the ladies was very scantily clothed
it was changed to a charge of pornog-
raphy. The case is to come up in
