"f

the

to

this
time,"
Mrs.

told
me.
"I
was
a
refugee
myself.
"I
had
been
discussing
with
Paris
officials
in
1940
ways
the
Y.W.C.A.

work
with
the
French
government
in
helping
Polish
refugees.
Suddenly
the
Germans
were
marching
on

Everyone
wanted
to
leave
at

She
got
as
far
as
Bordeaux,
where
she
was
held
up
by
tnrongs
of
refugees
for
three
weeks.
"For
three

I

on

guarding
my

papers,
before
I
could

she
relates.
"All
around
were
cars,
ranging
from
limousines
to
broken-down
autos,
at
a
standstill
and
honking
like
mad.
There
was.no

no

They
were
some
what
concerned,
however,
about
having
heard
of
the
lack
of
attention
which
the
new
Prince

was
receiving.
"It
seems
a

commented
Mr.

"to

one
complaint

about

was
the
man

in
which
gravel
was
spread

of
