HE boat-train from Havre steamed
into the Care st. LaZare al
noon. Dighton pushed his bags
through the window to blue
coated porter, obtained taxi
| and drove to a small hotel he knew IN
the rue Daunou.
Paris had changed little since he had
last seen it. The shops, the corner
restaurants with their regiments OF
chairs. the eternal traffic jam, all
seemed exactly as he had left 1t three
| wears before The air was keen, IN
spite of a brief spell OF wintry sun
shine. The crowds that thronged the
streets looked cold. He caught visions
of bearded business men, blue-nosed
and muff1ed in their heavy overcoats,
smart women shivering IN their furS,
hatless working-class women with
chapped hands and shining, shawl
bewrapped faces.
Winter and Summer alike. Dighton
liked Paris, geographically so close to
London-and temperamentally SO dI-
ferent. People had their characters
written more accurately on their faces
than in England. They were cold-and
they showed 1t. If they had been
sweltering in the heat Of mid-July
they would have expressed their dis
comfiture just as eloquently. Anglo
Saxon reserve was quality they
could neither fathom nor emulate.

A visit to Messieurs Cravoz, rue de

more enlightening than he had hoped.
The manager knew Monsieur Daudot
well. He had been a customer of theirs
for years If monsieur desired. they
would cheerfully take charge OF the
hat and dispatch it to their client
themselves.
Dighton thanked him. but declined
| the offer. He wanted something tan
gible to explain his visit to Daudot's
| fiat.
The manager accompanied him to
the door, smiling affably and rubbing
his hands together.
Know Monsieur Daudot! UP to his
retirement from the Surete he had
been a constant visitor. He comes now,
of course. but not so frequently. "A
man of his word. monsieur. Feared by

Prominent People
Deed Birthdays to
Leap Year Arrivals

New York, Feb. 29.-R-The
New York American today says that,
following the example of Robert
Louis Stevenson, it has arranged
with several prominent persons, in
GLIDING Governor Alfred E. Smith,
to deed their birthdays to children
born today, who otherwise would
have but one birthday in four years.
Stevenson in 1891 decided his
birthday to Annie H. Ide, daughter
of H. C. Ide, who later became
governor-general of the Philippines,
because, having been born on Christ
mas day, she had complained she
was deprived Of her natural rights
in having a proper birthday.
The former Miss Ide, who now is
Mrs. w. Bourke Cochran, cannot
deed the Stevenson birthday to any
one, but informed the American
she is willing to give her old birth
day, December 25, to some child
born today.
The Stevenson birthday, she said,
at her death will go to her name
sake and niece, Miss Annie Leslie,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs., Shane
Leslie, of London, England, under
the terms of her will.
Governor Smith, in deciding his
birthday, which is Dec. 80, said he
wished its new owner "as happy a
life as l have enjoyed, minus the
early struggles"
Mayor James J. Walker, who al.
so agreed to bestow his birthday
said, like Stevenson. he no longer
has any use for a birthday and chat
he can foresee a not distant time
when it would be inconvenient tt
have one. He stipulated that his
