Home Agent Tells Of Trip To Europe Dear Readers: Many of those in our tour were interested in a trip to the battlefields Monday, but somehow this held no appeal for my roommate and my self. We were contented to remain in Paris, visit interesting shops with an array of engraved Christmas greetings, inexpensive etchings and paintings, and the Monoprix* a store similar to our dime store in this country. The store had a large deli catessen department and one could buy all kinds of food. The food was interesting to us. We were wonder ing what the horse meat might look like which our guides told us the French people ate. We had been told while on one of our tours that the Frenchmen standing on the sidewalk back of a curious shelved depart ment had horse meat which they were trying to sell to the passerby. We heard them calling out their wares but had not realized what it might be which they were saying. There was so much one might buy in this store and with English speak ing clerks everywhere he had little lifficulty in making our wants un Jerstood. We had gone into the store .o. secure greeting cards to mail to riends and relatives back home. We returned to the hotel for din ner There were many restaurants on the sidewalks and these appealed to us. The sidewalks were extremely wide in some sections and many ple found the tables and chairs con venient meeting places as well as ex cellent places to eat. There was no such arrangement at the hotel and we did not have the opportunity to eat out of doors in this fashion, but jve did-Sil down lung vnouiii tu cn joy an American coco-cola at 10 cents a bottle. There must not have been so much ice or else the lack of good refrigeration revealed itself in our warm coco-cola, not so good af ter >11. ?:?1 ?? What shall we do this afternoon, had been our subject during noon hour The amount of French money would determine that. My roommate had decided to rest and after count ing my French money, I decided to visit the world famous Louvre, in walking distance from the hotel. Many were going to the louvre and were paying a guide 50 cents to show them around A trip of this kind ' gave one so Utile time to enjoy and appreciate the masterpieces of art one found there. Willi a guiue uook una unit numb admission one could spend an entire day, if time permitted. On the ground floor there were fine pieces of statuary by noted sculptors. The sec ond floor housed many world fam ous?paintings. Those ?of- -Rubens, Leonardo DeVinci, a few of Van Dyke's. The original of Mona Lisa, Whistler's Mother and the Artist and her Daughter are a few that I re member. There were choice dishes in anoth er section of the Louvre and ornate furniture of some historic import ance. L was easy to be lost in the building because of its similarity in entrunces and the vast sizt\of the building, It -was-only after careful watching that I could get my bear ings and know which entrance I came in. I felt my afternoon had been well spent. It had been another day of opportunities for those looking on those students in art who I had noted in the Louvre making excellent re productions of some of the choice paintings. It was nearly time to eat when I returned to Hotel St. Anne. We were taking a night tour of Paris after supper. This was in charge of the American Express which supplied us a guide The guide was born in Algeria but had lived in California until the war broke out in 1914. He was called back to fight and owing to a war injury was ser iously disabled though he was a very competent guide. We were now headed for real Parisian night clubs. We went through the Latin Quarter, the one time center of Bohemian life and the home of thousands of students It is one of the oldest sections of Par is. In this area there is a School of Medicine and the College of France. II was in this section we found the first nifht club. This was down two flights of stairs into a cavern. Amer icans took possession of Uve place in a short time The man in charge sang in French while an attractive French girl danced This place was very old the guide told us. As near as one could know it was in Pans in 1300. The walls told us of its age with num erous inscriptions and carvings in the stone. Some of our group asked the guide what the Frenchman was singing and he answered. "It's bet ter for you not to know." We used our imaginations to secure the an swer. Champagne was given free to all visitors who cared for it. We re mained here an hour. The second visit was a place simi lar to a cabaret. It was called "La Boule Noire." It was here we saw a couple in a very good apache dance This was an interesting place. The young women came to the place un escorted and sat down in comfor table chairs to drink French liquors, waiting hopefully for the music to strike up that they might dance. The men to secure dance partners did not ask for an introduction but instead stood up and hissed at the young lady whom he wished for his danc ing partner. After the dance they re turned to their separate places. It was a very Bohemian place, but very interesting to us. The next night club, known as the Place Blanche, we were happy to have grey-haired grandmothers with us for our chape rones. This was a troupe of dancers imitating sister Eve as dressed in the Garden of Eden. Two toe dancers in costume were very good We came out amazed at such beautiful girls Uking to live such a life or wondering if society had forced this upon them Our last visit, "Bal Tabarin," ca tered to a wealthier audience. It was a very large building with a big auditorium. There were toe dancers and among them Adolf Hitler's fa vored American toe dancer. She was spectacular in her lovely white cos tume. There were colored and white dancers in this "Tabarin" but few er of the Sally Hand variety. The lighting effects and colorful back grounds added real beauty to the stage?The guide infnrmud??the American toe dancer. admired tjy~ Hitler was getting $1000 a night.
