Marys Describes a Day in tlie French Metropolis The beauties of Paris have been chanted soiong by so many poets; we have seen so many pictures of its marvellous buildings and heard tales of its wonders from a thousand different sources. How and' where, then, is there anything new to be ■seen or experienced. in the great French capital? The answer is that w-hen you find yours actually trav­ elling it streets and seeing the sights with your very -own eyes, you forget for the time being everything you have ever heard or read .about it before. Once you have formed your new impressions, the old ones tall into their right place. A Morning in (he Churches Before we start on our tour the city, we eat a breakfast, French breakfast of crescent shaped rolls and 'chocolate. We choose choc­ olate instead of coffee because oof- fee on the -continent is notoriously bad—you can taste iron fillings, sawdust| and axle grease in it, whichever way your imagination tends. No jam or marmalade goes with the rolls—you pay for that ex­ tra. There’s your breakfast then, a large one according to- French standards. That morning we visited the Pan­ theon, a fine domed building statues and pictures story of brave deeds standing Frenchmen; St, Etienne with .its Genevieve; Coeur, high up on Montmartyre; and- the famous Notre Dame Cathedral. This last is on an island in the cen­ tre of the Seine River .and dominates the whole scene with it high square towers. On the facade of the build­ ing are hundreds of statues. Jutting out from the roof in all directions are those dreadful gargoyle faces, evil looking beasts in stone. Their months are open and wheu it rains, you can see that they are really just drainpipes. Shades of Napoleon Driving along the broad avenues of Paris, you cannot help but be impressed with the marvellous way in which the city is laid out. Napol­ eon did it, of course. From his tre­ mendous Arch de Triumphe as the centre, there rediate twelve great tlhoToughfarefs—the Place of the Star, it is called. In another square an iron colmun stands, made from the melting down of 11'2'0)0 Austrian guns captured by Napoleon at the battle of Austerlitz. The Tomb of Napoleon which we visited in the afternoon /is the greatest monument ever erected to any man. Not con­ tent with that, the French have some memento of Napoleon in prac­ tically every publiic building in Par­ is. The Seine and -the Eiffel Tower .are apparently the only things he didn’t have a hand in constructing. What would Paris have been with­ out Napoleon? We came ito the con­ clusion that it' wouldn’t have been much. Paris in Different Garb We drive around by the Luxem­ burg Gardens with their charming vistas, and .then cut through' to the old part of Paris where by contrast the streets are very, very narrow, the roofs of the house® seeming al­ most to touch acros the road. We saw the supposed underworld of Paris slinking /along the sidewalks ■of the Apache district—/not very lively in the daytime, but ait night, things happen. In the Jewish sec­ tion, all the vendors and hawkers1 are out on the pavement with their cartload® of vegetable® and junk. The street is almost impassable in most of these older districts, and the general air ^® one of squalor. The Shopper’s Paradise No wonder people love to shop in Paris. The French have a way of making things look doubly attrac­ tive, and of selling their goods with a smile. You walk into a shop, grind out a sentence or two in French, and the assistant looks at you isays, ‘Yes, madam, what do you wish?” They all know English. At four o’clock in the afternoon, then, after finishing our sightseeing we start down the Rue de Rivoli, street of the specialty, shops. Here you find window *fter window full of compaots, vanity bags, bracelets, all extremely cheap. (Several block® of that is enough so we turn and walk along the Rue de la Paix, the most exclusive street of its kind in the world. The jnajority of the famous dressmaking establishments are to be seen here—'Worth, Schia­ parelli, etc. The windows on the .ground floor of these ho-usos are heavily barred, but if you peep in around the ironwork, you will see probably one lone Article displayed there. Over tea and pastry on the side­ walk at the Cafe de la Paix, we watch the taxicabs squeal around the corner, and the people strolling or hurrying past. Fully half of them seem to be tourists, strangers from all the foreign lands you can think of. quite easy ly small, tvear their of btavado, no matter ' they tn ay “be.

No. On the way home to din­ ner, we walk along the Seine and stand and watch the boats moving up and down. Moroccan Cafe Go abroad to learn history. Yon can’t deny a stay in Paris without seeing a great many many blacks on the street and Moroccans in their native dress, and gradually it is borne in upon you that Morocco was so long ago a dependancy of France. That night, we go to a cafe that is Morroco to the life, so- they tell us, and so we believe. It has white stucco walls and red-tiled roofs and an open courtyard where palms are growing. Inside, we sit on fat leather cushions around low tables and sip Turkish coffee served by a smiling black in a fez. From the cor­ ner of the room come sounds of weird music played looking instruments. The taxi-driver who to the hotel insists double the fare.
