the women of Kings Row un-

Madame Won Elm spoke French
or German by preference. She
emphasized, UNDERSIGNED, and
generally illumined her discourse
with graphic movements of
hands, shoulders and eyebrows.
Paris bore a striking resem-
blance to her.
She was waiting now for him
to come home from school. Lay

she gave a twist to the taffeta
bow at her throat, and waited.
She smiled little. 1t was almost

Paris had played together since

"Uh huh"
He opened the wicket gate and
stood aside for her to pass
through. She waved and turned
into a lane that led to the over
seers cottage.
Paris Mitchell's mother had
died when he was born, his
father less than year later.
Since then he had been cared for
by his maternal grandmother
She adored him, and he adored
her. Doubtless she spoiled him
in some ways, but she had train
cd him to the observance of an
fashioned, Old World cour-
tesy that made him somewhat
conspicuous.
His grandmother. Marie Arm
aut Won Elm, was wholly French.
Her family came originally from
Lorraine. She had been twice
married, the second time to a
wandering German aristocrat
who had come to America to
make a fortune. After various
enterprises he had bought lands
at Kings Row because of some
fancied similarity of the soil to
that of his native German pro-
vince. He built a house of for
eign fashion, laid out elaborate
grounds, and manufactured suf-
ficient wine to drink himself TO
death.
Marie Won Elm was resource
full woman. She employed
French and German labor and
turned the vineyards into nur-
scry. 1t had prospered, and she
was now, 20 years after her hus-
bands death, accounted a veal
