j I have not been out of this place »; since we came. We are allowed to go jto Clermont on Sunday, but I have not | felt inclined to do so, as I had no4| business there.! Almost everything * very expen-| isve here, and many things cannot be j and at all. The only things that are ‘ehean are the American made things* A; at the Y.M.C.A. For instance, tobac-i*; co onlv costs about half here what it * *jdoes at home; but we cannot always | get it. I loaned my fountain pen and j the party lost it. I had to get another lone. I bought the smallest pen that I the Waterman people make and it dost me 30 francs, or about six dollars.
