After dinner Mr. Millet called, and we co together, finally completing, verbally, arrangements for our second motor trip. Thursday, August II. My limousine and Gaston came for me, and the day was spent in shopping, going to Draicol's, where I saw the living models and chose the style of suit I wanted and ordered it. We lunched at Henry's. Everything is so good here, and I would like lunch here every day. I returned late in the afternoon to our hotel. Friday, August 12. To-day we also spent in shopping, and we lunched at the very fashionable restaurant, Armenouville, in the Bois de Boulogne. FONTAINEBLEAU Saturday, August 13. We left by motor early with three friends for a day at Fontainebleau. We arrived about noon and lunched at the Savoy Hotel, and had a fine luncheon. Afterward we visited the Chateau of Fontainebleau. This is one of the finest renaissance chateaux in France and was once the residence of the French kings, but is now a national museum. We saw room after room of beautiful tapestries, furniture and rugs. We were taken through the state apartments of Napoleon, which are all of magnificent appointments. Among his relics is the desk on which he signed his abdication; also the cradle of the king of Rome. (L'Aiglon). We were anxious to visit Napoleon's private apartments, and Augusta sent her visiting card by our guide, she being a resident of Paris a and we were admitted. These apartmer marked contrast to those of state, the lat been restored to their beautiful elegance, private apartments remain as when vacated leon. We saw the bedrooms of Josephin Madame Mother (Napoleon's mother) an Napoleon; also his study, with open maps or The handsome hangings all through the were dust-covered and faded. We left the chateau and motored through ests of fine old trees of all kinds. We stopp little village of Barbizon; at Hotel Charm gouter. This little village has been the home French artists. From here we returned to P ing enjoyed a most delightful day. SIGHT-SEEING Sunday, August 14th. Gusty slept late th ing, as there was nothing to worry her. I h an appointment with Miss Fisher to visit the F one of the sights of Paris. It is held every morning in the Marche au Temple. It beg very early hour and stops promptly at noon, announced by a bell. They commence about ter of an hour before twelve, packing up and ready to leave, as they are not allowed to rema the bell sounds. This market was erected on the site of the old built by the Knights Templar, and the temple was the prison of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, his wife, and their children. In the evening while we were sitting chatting, suddenly Gusty rose and went quickly out on the balcony, then called: "Ontie, come quick!" When I reached there, she said, "Listen!" And hearing a very queer sound, I asked what it was. She said, "There is a fire." There are no bells on the engines, but the men keep up a cry in unison, that sounds exactly like a donkey braying. This was quite a coincidence, as Gusty had hardly finished telling me, "They have very few fires in Paris." I think every time I was in the city, however, I heard one or two of these alarms. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 15, 16 and 17, we spent in shopping, packing and completing preparations for our motor trip. Monday evening we went to the Grand Opera House and heard the opera "Faust." This beautiful building has been so universally described that comments are unnecessary. SECOND MOTOR TRIP Thursday, August 18. We packed our implements of travel (not torture) in our motor, and at 9:30 A. M. started on our trip. Our car is a fine Panhard limousine (764-E8). This is the same stanch little car, and Gaston our same reliable chauffe had on our first trip.
