ed at some time or otnèr during a normal cuime, It is all part of the training. And to be temaio, foreign and stranded in London on a rainy November day makes it just a little more decorative.

This particular writer found herself being pushed to the wall by a peculiar mat of circumstances A few days ago. Money was dug, but devilishly delayed. Friends were out of town. So at noon of a grey day, with the rain just ba- gluning, she walked out of her hotel, leaving her baggage and typewriter as security, nothing to wear but the clothes on her back, and sixpence in her purse.

The sixpence was, oventually augmented by another, gained by the sale of a very unusual hand- carved silver ring. The work on the ring was worth a great deal, but on the scale it was worth only sixpence. Or so the woman who bought it neross the Jewellery counter said. She was rather a pleasant woman at that, and seem- ed touched by the customer's casual point of view.

"No one cries about throwing away a plece of clothing after one has had wear and joy out of 1," I said. "Why should one feel different about Jewellery?".

for a year awaiting trial for her alleged connection-generally con- aldorod very alight with her hus band's swindles.,

Now she demands that she shall bo called to give evidence before the Commission of the Chamber of Deputies which has been investi- gating the scandal.

Sho says that she is not ant mated by the fact that she has been detained for so long, or by the attacks which have been mado on her recently in the newspapers.

These have arison through the revolation that an ex-convict called Poulner, for whom a warrant has been issued, had rented her a furnished flat.

But, she says, she wishes to re- veal to the commission certain political and police manoeuvres which have taken place.

Mme. Staviaky, through her counsel, Maitre de Moro-Giafferi; docinres that she will not say any- thing except to the commission.

The commission, had hoped to close its Investigations next month, but it now seems probable that with the host of fresh revelations which are promised it will have to continue till the spring.,

These fresh revelations are atat- ed to be forthcoming from every hide and not from me. Stavisky alone, and they include matters relating to the mysterious death of M. Prince, the Paris Appeal Court judge, on the railway line at Dijon Inst February..
