Mrs. Ennett Writes Interesting Letters From Paris. J i _. ^ (Continued from First Page.) ? -" t fi Hotel Continental, i;5 3 Rue Castiglione, Prais, t? f January 22, 1921. ; My dearest Mother: S We have tried to take things a lit 7 ' tie easier today, as all this steady go . ing is beginning to tell on us both, v Besides we expect to leave soon for 1 ; a little trip through Italy and Swit-j zerland and there will have to be .A some rest days, or it will be a physi i cal impossibility to keep up. The French insist on sending break fast to the rooms; I do not know whether it is to cater to the indolence of the inmates, or because it is more economical. Anyway it is a very sim V pie affair. Nothnig but coffee, rolls "iy? ? . 'fit and butter, and to me it is none too i eye> appetizing when poked into your bed TOrft* before your face is washed and your cei: teeth brushed. I expect to get mine Prr. in the dining room tomorrow morning j y?/ if I have to sleep with my clothes on u?v to accomplish it ck\ , We moved into a "Pension" yester . day and I am delighted with the th?'n change. It only costs us forty francs .j a day, which is about $2.50 per in aV 1 our money. The marvel is how well it is conducted for so small a sum, ; for the meals are excellent and so ? ' well served. 2 ' Immediately after lunch today, we started for Versailles. I remember v? reading in Carlyle's "History of the French Revolution," how the women 1*., of Paris walked out to this palace to ^: demand bread of the king. If they o%. did, it was some stroll, believe me. They call it nine miles and I am sure the Sans Culottes as well as myself are convinced of it. . We passed through some awful looking slums ] and there were people around who 1 still looked mean enough to guillotine '? . anything from a king down to poor, I inoffensive me. They told us after- 1 wards we made a mistake in going i on the tram, as it passes through a i very rough section of the city, so we ( come back on the train. There is no 1 hope of getting around without < trouble until we learn the French lan guage better. I feel like saying as ? the little girl said to McDowell after i ?\ listening to him play one of his own i % compositions, "You don't do it right < >' at all * But Versailles was worth all the trouble of getting here. The gardens were far larger and more elaborate than any we saw in TSngTarici'.' Intakes hours to walk over them, and the gardener who laid them out must have been the greatest genius of his age. It was all done for Louis XIV, and after him came "the deluge," so I guess that explains where much of the money , was sunk that caused France to "go broke" about this time. We made no effort to go into the pal ace as it was impossible to do so and see the garden the same afternoon, but we went into the two Trianons. I am sending you a postcard picture of "The Grand Trianon" and "La Petit Trianon" as you will associate i Marie Antoinette with the one, and the signing the "Peace Treaty" with the othes. Both are exquisitely fur nished and the inevitable guides are present to "speil off" a lot of yarns about it. For the first time since com ing here I had the profound pleasure of telling them I could not understand one word of French so it was time wasted. We had time to see the old royal coaches and they were worth a trip out there alone. While they look ed like pure gold to me, they suggest ' ed hearses too strongly for me to en V thuse over them. I don't want a free -, ride in that sort of vehicle yet a ( while. When we got back to the palace it ? j ' was too dark to see anything so we are planning to go back and go through it later on. On our return trip we got off at the "Invalides," right in front of Na poleon's tomb, but it was raining and too dark to see anything, so we hur ried across a beautiful bridge called "Pont Alexander'* and crossed the Seine near the "Place de la Con corde." Near by was a hotel in which we took refuge until the rain was over, and this hotel chanced to be the one where Lloyd-George and the Brit ish delegation are located for the^ con ference to be held here Monday with regard to the German indemnity. France seems to be dissatisfied that Germany has not been made to pay her war debt, and there was a change in the ministry not long ago, brought about by this very dissatisfaction. Briande has become the new premier here, and every body here seems to feel he will make Lloyd-George stand by him in telling the Germans "where they get off." The conference will be in session ; for about three jweeks, and I see Sir > Eric Geddes will come over from '?' America and talk to Lloyd-George -x here about our "naval ambitions." The English can't get over America' building a navy. It makes them sick because they are too poor to excel in this as they have always done. I am expecting mail from you on the Aquitania which arrives tomor row, so I hope I shall not be disap pointed. God bless and keep you al ways. j Lovingly yours, GRACE. Downward Trend Throughout Week. ' New Orleans, Feb. 27.-The trend of prices in the cotton market this week was strongly downward and after the middle of the week new 1 w levels were made, with the low est of the week and season on the close, March fell to-11.17 and July to 12.01. Losses in the contract mar ket amounted to 132 to 158 points. In the spot department middling lost 125 points in the net results closing at 11.50 cents a pound against 40.25 this week last year. The heaviness of the spot markets of the interior was the main reason for the slump. Spot led at the de cline constantly and at the end of the week Fort Worth, Tex.as, quoted middling at 10.65% cents a pound, while Augusta, in the East quoted middling; at 11.00 cents. There was very little demand for spots at any time in any section of the belt while telegrams from the interior constant ly referred to forced liquidation of spot holdings. Two lots of cotton, one^ of a 100 bales and one of a 1,000, were heard of as being on their way across the Atlantic from Liverpool to be tender sd against March contracts in the New York market. First notice day for March on Wednesday went off better than ex pected, particularly so in view of the large amount of tenders estimated at L0.000 bales in this market and 75, 300 bales in the New York market. Lowest prices of the' week were reached following reports of serious rioting in Alexandria and there WP.S :onsiderable selling on the fear that ;he market might open Monday lower >n further unfavorable political lews. It was said that the aid of a arge cotton organization was seek ng to have legislation passed to pre sent short selling and this may have :onsiderable effect on the market. Further Reduction in Wages by Mill. Greenville, Feb. 27.-A further 'eduction in wages of 15 per cent to ts employees which, with the aboli ion of bonuses, makes a total cut of ?0 per cent since the downward tread >f prices began, is announced by the /ictor-Monaghan company, which op ?rates a chain of eight cotton mills n upper South Carolina. The reduc ion, effective March 1, will effect be ween 5,000 and 6,000 employees. )ffice employees are also affected by his reduction for the first time. The ittitude of the employees if problem itical. Rumors of a possible strike vere heard on the streets at Greer, vhere two of the Victor-Monoghan nills are located, but little credence s placed in these reports. It is gen ii-ally believed that the operatives ully appreciate the problems facing he mill management and are willing o do their share toward solving these )roblems. It was stated cotton mills ixecutives said some plants are bo ng operated now merely to keep the >rganization or employees intact. NOTICE.
