Dear Matt, greetings from Paris !
What a nice picture from the 20’s. The phase under the picture translates:
“the words fly away, the writings stay”.
A famous french proverb, still used today.
The girl search for her man’s diary because she suspects her man of infidelity and she thinks he may have left a written proof like an adress, name, phone number…
Today the same is done by watching the partner’s phone email…
Nice pic, really.
All the best.
Sincerely.
Franck

Hey Franck! Thanks for the note. I do know enough French still to know what the words meant but I didn’t know it was a proverb.
