Gl IV Post Event Observation. Special Update. Ambrosia Bousweau arrives. Many candid Photographs


Special Gazette 

With the arrival of Ambrosia Bousweau twenty four hours of pure Weimer decadence begins.








With the arrival Ambrosia  Bousweau the party truly begins.  Ambrosia is the daughter of Sheridan Bousweau, youngest brother, of six siblings, of Ruffy. Her mother was the daughter of a  maid in the service of the Maharaja of Ragnor.  Ambrosia lives in Shanghai with her father part  of the year, where he maintains the family connections to the Tongs but she maintains flats in Berlin, Paris, and Vienna. She received an emergency cable from Princess Gueramantes saying the event needed her special connections in the demi-monde world of Vienna and the art and cabaret scene in Weimer Berlin  to "liven up".  Armed with a letter of credit from the Shanghai Branch of the House  Rothschild she has spared no expense in effort to help dear uncle Ruffy.

Ambrosia informs the concierge the party needs more women, she makes a few calls and soon the cream of the Viennese demi-monde begins to arrive.



Of course we must have better music.


Of course some boarding school chums are invited.

Three blocks from the hotel all is not quite so lovely.




Ambrosia (in 1946 she will receive decorations from the allies for her work in getting downed fliers to England) loves Weimer Art and has set up a large exhibit in the lobby.
