sightseers and acquaintances streamed by. It was wonderful to listen to the variety of greet-

ings which ranged from. Perle, darling” ton “Good dav. Mme, © Minister” - and in¢luded Mrs Mesta” and “Mme. Mesta.” I hathed in the reflected enthusiasm. Never have so many - people been so nice to me in the Mayflower Lounge. Mme. Minister looked a little tired, which is not surprising

since she had been up until 6 that morning, and had had only a few hours’ sleep. Other-

wise she was precisely the same, with her strong face, her

. firm nod and her brisk. shrewd

wink, used to emphasize important statements. She takes excellent care of herself. doesn’t smoke or drink, and is-able to maintain. a pace that would wreck anyone half her age. She was wearing a splendid gray wool suit, with black velvet on the collar —from

Balenciaga. I thought as I watched her how, like all strong personalities, she, has ‘the quality of dominating completely any atmosphere. without giving in to’ it or becoming a part of it. ‘She is always herself, and she dominates in. a -relaxed and natural sense; with no strain or effort.
