School life in Paris

LETTER IV

My dearest Ethel, I am afraid this is going to be rather scrappy letter, but I hope, you will nevertheless find it both instructive and amusing?

The morning after the scene related in toy last letter, I was not very much surprised to receive a message from Madame, when the maid came to call me, saying that as she was rather tired, we need none of us get up till the twelve o'clock dejeuner.

Wheff therefore I hard finished my chocolate and pate de foie gras sandwiches, I nestled down once more into the warm, bedclothes, to enjoy myself for at least two hours. Just as I had done so the door open and in same a girl riamed Edith- the niece of the Countess de B***, whom I have already mentioned in connection with the book " Le Demi-Monde des Jeunes Filles."

As a general rule she is very quiet and demure, but I had heard from the other girls that, when you get her alone, she is very smutty and wicked, so that I was delighted when she said she had come to have a chat. She began by taking off her chemise de nuits making me do the same and we then lay together in the warm bed, her naked body cuddled close against mine, while the strong pressure of our " pussies " against one another, with a little aid from her slenders fingers soon put us in a good condition for naughty conversation!

She began asking me if I knew why it was that girls are taught to pay so much attention to their dress and appearance?

I told her I had never thought about the subject; and she then told me that it is all done simply to arouse the sensuality of the male sex. A pretty face, and even a voluptuoils figure,she assured me, do not appeal successfully to a man's instinct of vice, unless they are accompanied by the accessories of fashionable luxury, such as smart dresses, hats, boots, gloves, etc.

Above all, she said, our evening dress, with its display of naked breasts, arms and shoulders, the hair elaborately dressed, the hands delicately gloved, and our bodies breathing, out the scent of lascivious perfumes, has such a powerful effect upon the other sex, that often, especially in dancing when their hands are clasping the tightly-corsetted waist, and their eyes and nostrils are almost touching our nude and panting busts, a girl can feel her partner's "dolly " forcing out his trousers to such an extent as to make its pressure distinctly felt against her leg!

When I asked her how she found this out, she told me that her aunt, the Countess has two sons, who are now three-or-four and-twenty, that is seven or eight years older than herself, and, as she has always lived with her aunt these two male cousins,after seducing her when she was only eight of nine, have always "poken" to her their vices without any restraint.

She went on to tell me that, whereas in England young men are supposed by their parents to be pious, and have therefore to do their " poking " with " tarts " on the sly, in France the parents recognise the necessity of a young man having a "mistress*' of his own, to keep him from running after the "cocottes " who throng the streets and music-halls, from whom he might catch some disease.

When her cousins were about seventeen or eighteen, she declares that one morning, when they were together in the bathroom, drying themselves after their morning " tub," the Countess, who was then only thirty-six, and looked about ten years younger, calmly walked in upon them, wearing nothing but her transparent chemise de nuit, which moreover was unfastened all down the front, in such a way as to leave her opulent breasts, big hips and smiling "pussie " fully exposed to view. The boys, somewhat amazed, with natural modesty, held their towels in such a way as to hide as much of their nakedness as possible, but their mother, when she had given her charms time to work upon them, told them with a bawdy smile to put their towtls down, and noticed writh delight their " dollies " standing up big and erect, with incestuous desire, aroused by the sight of their mother's attractive nudity.

This pleased her, not only as a tribute to the power of her own ripe charms, but because it showed her that they had inherited the same big style of " instrument" which their late father-who by the way was not the Countess's husband — had possessed.

Looking approvingly at their quivering pricks, she said: " Ah! I thought my boys must be becoming men by this time, though I scarcely expected to find you so well developed already, and it is for this purpose that I have come to talk to you. The fact is that I do not want to have you running after stray girls, of whom you know nothing, and I do not much like either the idea of your " having " any of the female servants, and so I have made what I hope you will find a pleasant arrangement. I have taken two very nice sets ol apartments for you, in which I have installed two very pretty girls, who are employed in the trying-on room at my dressmaker's, which ensures not only their having voluptuous-looking figures, but also their being always smartly and fashionably dressed. I have instructed them to procure, at my expense, anything they like in the way of delicate underclothing, transparent chemises, open-work " tights " and stockings, etc.-in fact all the dainty and tempting allurements of vice, with which professionnal " cocottes " are accustomed to inflame the passions of young men,

"Of course" she added "you are at liberty to make love as much as you like to all the married Society women of your acquaintance, and I can even give you the names of a good many who will not very long resist the pleadings of pretty boys like you, especially when they find out what splendid u pricks " these are." While she had been saying this, she had at first placed her hand coquettishly to hide her "pussie," which was throbbing beneath the lustful gaze of the two boys; but very soon, almost unconsciously she found herself clasping the two stiff "dollies," one in each of her jewelled hands, the tickling of which inflamed still further the boys's passionate desires.

They knew that their mother had had many lovers and that, since her widowhood, she was often passing her nights in quiet, but for all that most awful orgies with men; so, as she was now looking at them with a most lewd hand bawdy smile, the elder son pushed her softly on to a couch, and as he stole his fingers into her "cunt," he felt it throbbing with excitement. She opened her legs to allow him better to do as he liked with her, and, mad with lust, in another moment he had slipped his " dolly"

into his own mother's "cunt," who only too willing, gave him every facility of doing so.

While this was going on and while she was dying with sensual pleasure under the amorous embrace of her eldest son, the younger boy looked on with considerable disappointment, which seeing, the Countess, with a sensuous laugh and looking a regular bacchante told him not do despair, and that he would have his turn: so she enjoyed both her handsome boys, one after the other, while the fact that it was " incest " added fire to her sinful excitement!

When these very wicked acts were finished, she told them with a lustful smile that they were very naughty boys and that as a punishment they would have to came both and sleep with her, one on each side of her, the very next night!

The boys told Edith of this scene the same day, she being not quite thirteen at the time, and she added that the boys did sleep with the Countess the following night and many other nights, and that she actually taught her sons to " poke " and "bugger " her-their own mother! — at the same time!

Her cousins having acquired a taste for it,began,she said,from that time to "buggar" her also, and many a time, she assured me, she had been compressed between the two handsome boys, one in front and the other behind, which, she said, she enjoyed greatly; and, when she was a little older, they, on several occasions, took her to the rooms where the two pretty shop-girls had been established by the Countess.

There she was at first treated with great respect as a " Society young-lady." As soon however as the girls discovered her smutty tastes, they arrayed themselves in the most fascinating of their indecent costames, and then, having undressed the two boys, they went through a series of all the most lascivious forms of vice, that they could think of, for her amusement.

Besides this they showed her all sorts of books of extraordinary smutty pictures and photos, and lent her some stories to read, of the kind described as "Erotic and Ultra-Galant." In fact they did everything to corrupt her completely and made her cousins " have " her before them, so as to render her altogether shameless, in which had quite succeeded, for she said she was longing to be " poked " by lots of different men and that it was her intention to let the men know it too!

These girls had a little rhymed "Prayer to the Virgin " to be used before enjoying a " poke."

" Holy Mother, we believe

Without sin Thou didst conceive.

Grant that we, in Thee believing,

Now may sin without conceiving."

After these visits to her cousins's " mistresses," Edith was very anxious to be taken to see one of the more fashionable of the " immoral " houses, which are to be found of a more- luxurious character in Paris, then anywhere else in the world.

Her cousins however refused to run the risk of taking her there, and so she had to be content with a description of the most luxurious and voluptuous of them all.

The inside of the house is decorated with exquisite pictures and carvings, while the large marble staircase and all the rooms are so thickly carpetted that no sound of footsteps is ever heard.

Visitors are received by a gorgeously dressed lady, who, when she has ascertained their wants, hands them over to the care of a couple of pages, about twelve years old, of whom there are a great number in the establishment, all exquisitely dressed in fancy " tights " costunies. They are of both sexes, but, as they all have their hair elaborately dressed, with flowers in it, and all alike wear corsets, long kid gloves, and dainty feminine shoes, it is hard to tell the sex of the pages, except that the close-fitting tights, if lodkecl at carefully, will generally reveal a "baby-prick " in. the case of the boy-pages. These conduct the visitors to a large room surrounded with mirrors, in which a large number of lovely girls, absolutely naked, except for transparent chemises and stockings, are placed in lascivious groups, whose suggestive poses are reflected by the glasses on the walls. From these groups, one or more partners are chosen by the visitors, who are then conducted to the sumptuous bed-rooms, where, if desired, the pages still remain, to aid them in undressing, and to excite them during their acts of sensuality by tickling, etc., etc.

There are also rooms specially set apart for the vice of " Lesbianism," where only women are admitted, though men are allowed to peep through hidden windows, to watch the obscene movements and poses of the unconscious girls within!

On one occasion, when the two cousins were watching through the secret spy-hole, they saw their mother-the Countessrevelling with the keenest enjoyment, in an orgy of this fascinating but unnatural vice.

That same evening, after she had gone up to bed, they went together to chaff her about the discovery they had made. She was not in the least disconcerted, and said that, if they only knew how delicious the sensation was, they would understand her enjoyment of it. To prove its pleasure to them, she offered to show the eldest one the " gammerouge," which is the corresponding act, in the case of a male, and consists in kissing the point of his "dolly " until the action of the tongue causes it to come," Softly tickling his " balls " with her jewelled fingers, she did her part with such skill as to cause him the most exquisite sensations; and, bending over him as he lay on the bed, she motioned to the younger one to come behind her, and to slip his "prick" from that position into her "pussie," thus causing her to feel to a certain extent the sensual pleasure which her kisses were producing.

This last recital, just like what Edith had told me before about the incestuous love encounters between this unnatural mother and her two sons, rather disgusted me, for any woman so well-preserved as the Countess can certainly get as many lovers as she wants, without getting her own sons to " poke " her, but Edith tells me that time will reconcile me to the idea of "incest,"She says that in spite of her fondness for Vice of all sorts, her aunt was most particular about going to Church on Sundays, where she could not only display her own smart clothes, but study those of her neighbours; and she also showed her " religion " by aiding- various charities. The way in Which she preferred to do this was by acting in plays or tableaux, got up in aid of the charity, in which tase she always began by protesting that she would act any part they liked, provided it was not a maillot (tights) part; and yet she always allowed hersell to be persuaded that, with her lovely figure, etc., she would thereby induce more people to come to the entertainment and so benefit the poor, and ended not only by wearing the " tights," but by wearing very little else besides. In fact in one comic Opera she played the part of a boy, but wore a costume consisting of a sleeveless bodice of the thinnest possible pink kid, with knickers, or rather drawers, of the same material; and as the points of the breasts, as well as the shape of her thighs and hips, stoods out as plainly as if she had been stark naked, it is evident that few people can have mistaken her for the "boy'' she was supposed to represent, especially as she finished her costume with sixteenbutton pink kid gloves.

On another occasion she posed in a tableau as Venus, after much protesting and resistance; and, though it was known to the audience that she wore a tight-fitting suit of the thinnest possible pink silk all over her body, anyone, seeing her in the brilliant light of the stage, would have sworn that she was as naked as Eve, for it revealed not only every curve, but every hair on her body.

Edith spoke to me also of the French watering places, and I am now longing to go to Trouville, which, as I daresay you know, is the Brighton of France. She says that there the men and girls all bathe together and have the most splendid fun.

There are, it seems, two distinct classes of girls at Trouville-those who wear bathingcostumes to bathe in, and those who like to show off their figures, without the bother of going into the water. The latter wear a sort of pantomine-boy costume, consisting of a sleeveless bodice, silk tights, high heeled shoes, and very often long kid gloves, A big picture-hat, with a parasol to match the costume, completes a toilette which would be ruined by going into the water and so they sit on the beach, smoking cigarettes and flirting, or listening to the men's very risky stories.

The bathing-girls who really mean swimming, on the other hand, generally wear a sort of silk jersey combinations, something like the men's, only much lower in the neck, sleeveless and much thinner.

The " knowing " girls have those made so tight that, when they get wet and shrink, the stitches begin to stretch and gape, thereby allowing the pink skin, and other charms to show trough as distinctly as if they were perfectly nude. In this way they get a distinct score over the other girls, who do not go into the water.

Edith tells me she wear.s dark-blue suits of this sort, through which her pink skin looks awfully fetching but they sometimes shrink so much that, on coming out, her maid cannot get them off without cutting them! She says the best fun is to spot a man with a big " dolly "-it is apparently easy enough to see them under the tightsand ask him to teach you to swim. While he is bolding you up, you slide your hand down and tickle his ct dolly," which has probably come up already, if your body, and especially your " tiddies " are of a voluptuous character. As soon as he feels the fingers at work, he returns the compliment by tickling the " pussie " with one hand, while with the other he strockes the points of the breasts.

This sounds awfully good fu% and I mean to try it when I go to Trouviiie, I came to the conclusion that Bertha had only done her justice when she said. " You will find that sly little monkey Edith, who seems so pious, the most delightfully smutty talker in the world, when you get her by herself."…

So entranced was I by her conversation that we did not notice how quick the time slipped by and to our dismay, one of the younger girls arrived with a message from Madame, asking why we were not down, just at the very moment when we had allowed the mutual tickling of our fingers, which had been gently going on nearly all the time to Quicken into a regular "frig."

As I am not anymore the little shamefaced thing 1 was, when I first came here, and as Edith is, as you may have gathered from all she has told me, quite shameless, we continued our little game without taking any notice of the presence of the child, finding, in fact, in the sense of our shamelesness, an increase of sensual gratification So the junior, a very pretty girl of fourteen, saw from our movements what was going on, and, pulling down the bed-clo.hes, she watched with eager eyes the lascivious heavings of our naked bodies, which were rapidly approaching the spasm of supreme pleasure. Seeing this she began to tickle us down our spines, laughing all the time with delight at our voluptuous movements, When we hid finished, she said to me: Dearest Blanche, do let me come and do that with you some day; my sister and I often do it at home, and she says my fingers are simply made for " frigging."

She is such a pretty little thing that I could not refuse, and so she is to creep up Some night, when every one is asleep, and stay the whole night with me." When I told her this, she began in her gratitude to kiss me all over my naked body, in a way which showed she was no novice in the arts of sensual pleasure.

We told Madame we had fallen asleep again, an explanation which she accepted, though I think she guessed the truth.

And now, dearest Ethel, good bye for the present. I am afraid this is a very disjointed letter, the contents of which will probably shock you very much, but some of it will I daresay instruct you as well as amuse you* After perusing it, I think that you will say like me, that it is no wonder Edith i9:4t knowing,1' being brought up by such an aunt, and with such cousins!

Ever your most loving

Blanche.
