With these petty objects he MM formed a curious little museum, among ,4BI the treasures of which are a lock of hair djjg from th head of M. Clomenceau, a white sDH scarf which belonged to M.

Globot. a handkerchief D that Count Bonl de Castcllance once E owned, a button dropped by President H Fauro and tho cover of an umbrella once H carried by M. T-outaot.
