Paris has the only location that was removed from the magazine version of the text when it was republished with Boni & Liveright: specifically, La Jardin de ma Soeur, a nightclub that had changed names in 1922 and likely was removed for for that reason. In her autobiography A Girl Like I, Loos mentions having gone to La Jardin de ma Soeur during her first trip to Paris, and she appears to have assumed it was still there when writing the initial version of Blondes. The club is not replaced with another location in the text.
