Saturday evening 6 o'clock
In mid-winter Parisian gardeners delight in forcing thousands of white lilac blossoms , which are sold in European capitals for holiday gifts . Gertrude and May hurried back to the hotel as happy as the birds in the trees of the boulevard . When Gertrude reached her mother , a telegram was given her from George which read : City of Brussels . _ Gertrude _ , -- We expect to arrive in Paris Saturday evening 6 o'clock . Alfonso and Leo here . All well . Grand trip .
