La Paree, April 1937

This April 1937 issue of *Nimble Fingers* (actually *La Paree Stories*) contains short fiction and a letters section. The primary story, "Nimble Fingers" by M. Gaston Leon, concerns Count Victor de Chalusse, a middle-aged Parisian who, upon spotting his wife's young dressmaker Mademoiselle Valorsay, pursues a seduction. After following her from his home, he invites her to dinner and champagne, claiming to reward her skillful needlework. She invites him to her modest apartment to change clothes, where she mentions her boyfriend Pascal. Victor proceeds with calculated charm, taking her to cabarets and nightclubs where he flatters her while monitoring her reactions. The narrative breaks off mid-seduction strategy. The issue also features reader correspondence—personal ads from correspondents seeking pen pals, and fan letters praising previous stories by Philippe di Mario and Robert Leslie Belllem.
