This was at Melmalson in 1502. In
May the consell d'etat Was invited to
consider the project of the institution
of the Legion of Boner. It wars rid1
ruled by 'ninny, notably by Moreau,
who as victor of 13obonllndeu was bit-

At a dinner party he sent for els cook

guests: "ellehel, 1 nm pleased with
your dinner. You have Indeed distin-

saucepan of honor." lima, de Steel

"Ah, one of the decorated?" she used
to ask each guest who was shown into
her salon.

Among the eminent men of science
and men of letters on whom it teas
