seaside. But IL was a nice title,
and he was pleased. So he wore
his insignia proudly to public az
fairs. Also. at last, he had an
impressive letterhead for his Of
flee stationery.
Then the unexpected happened.
His Highness of Persia-one Of
the important princes of the
blood, decided to come to Vichy
for a fling.
Then didn't dear Uncle Cas-
ton swell out his chest. At last,
after two years, he would have
matters of state to deal with.
Accordingly, in all his uniforms
and ribbons, my uncle attended
the Persian Highness wherever
the Oriental fancy prompted.
Uncle took the Prince to a
symphony concert. The Prince
said ne liked the music better
than what they played after the
leader came in. The first music
was the tuning Of the instru-
ments.
Uncle took the Prince TO a foot
ball game. The Prince asked did
they like the ball? He thought
they did, because they chased it..
But If they liked it, why, by
Allah. did they later kick 1t? All.
that was a riddle.
Uncle next took the Prince 10
the opera. And the Prince said
the marble entrance could be re-
modelled into a lovely stable for
race horses. All, well, it was all
in the point Of view. And this
point OF view was Persian. SO
uncle was assiduous and indus
trious. For at last he was func-
tioning as a real diplomat.
Then came the week before his
Highness would depart. And a
very special day. On that day,
the Prince gave my uncle a fine,
big medal. set with several large
stones II was very important
medal in Persia, the Princes gen.
Misunderstanding told my uncle.
Uncle should feel honored; Uncle
did.
But, at the same time, uncle
also felt not absolutely satisfied.
In our family. we are rather good
judges Of precious stones. So
uncle had his suspicious. Ac-
cordingly, he took the medal to
a jeweler in Vichy and asked
an. were they real. those
stones? The jeweler took one
look.
No, he said, they were not real
Instead they were very good
specimens Of nice, shiny red
glass.
Well" said uncle. take them
out and put in real stones. ! can't
go Juggling round this important
distinction set with imitation
jewels"
Real Jewels were supplied
Uncle paid a whopping bill and

took his medal to his heart. 1t
was something to hand down in
the family. Then came the
night before the Highness's de-
parture. Uncle gave a good-by
dinner to the honored guest.
Champagne flowed. There were
speeches. Hands across the sea
between Vichy and Persia, you
understand.
Uncle spared no expense TO do
that Princeling proud. When the
last cup was quaffed, the last
speech but an echo, uncle bent
low over the pudgy hand of the
Royal Persian, wishing him god
speed. The Persian took the ex-
tended hand, held IL and dallied
with it, as his bright black eye
caught a flash. Then it glued
itself to the medal so recently
bestowed.
And in that eye was the look
of the man who, also. can recog-
nize real jewel from a fake.
At last the Persian spoke. "Ex-
cellency, / am chagrined. a
great, n terrible wrong has been
done you. My chamberlain is all
10 blame. l ordered him TO give
you the best medal in Persia. But
the dolt has given you only the
second best. We will remedy this
at once"
Accordingly the Prince. with
his own royal hand. stripped the
second rate medal from my
uncle's coat. He dropped 1t into
his own capacious pocket. Next
day at the train, true TO his royal
word, he gave my Uncle Castor
a medal much, much larger than
the one he had reclaimed.
But when poor uncle took this
around TO the same jeweler, he
heard the same story. The stones
in the best medal in Persia were,
again, nice, big. shiny red stones
of the best glass in the world!
But II whimsy and piquancy
touched that life at Vichy, then
never more did this happen than
when the Belgian Subway
King" Jules Empain, came for
his holiday.
