PARIS, November, 1978.-From London to
Paris is a complcta change Of atmosphcrcs, In
more senses tllan one. From fog and smokc TO
blue sky and sunshine: from cortairl ponder
to say cunbrousncss-o action, TO |
4 hcryous, rcstleso activity; from Gladstone, |
and the school-Doard c}erttous, to !
tho manucuvrcs Of the Right anu
Left, Sara Bcrnllardt, and ths wintcr-Easlltons.
1wus curious to SEQ the city since the war:
whether the Arc ds Trlomphc was In tho same
place; whether tho Column Vcndune looked
much the worse fur wear; md 80 forth, In a
series Of absurd queries. Externally, Paris
DOES NOT sEEM MUCH cNAN0Er
They arc rebuilding the wing Of the Tui1crtes
which tho pctroleuses Of tho Commune de-
stroyed; but that quarter Of the great pile looks
d1smantlcl still. Also, the Bois do Doulogno Is
shorn Of much OF its ancient glory, though tho
stately procession around the Lake still goes on
In 0ne afternoons. But tho Louvre and its gal-
lerics stand a. Of old, with the old pictures In
the old places; tho long atcatlcs Of thc Rue do
Rlvoll still fill with evcr-chnnEinE throngs. who
stand gazing at the fno photographs In ita Win
dows, or ut the gorgeous costumes In the Alaga-
sin au Louvre; the opera and theatrcs arc filled
nlehtly;-au,l yet, to tho visitor, Paris seems
much changed It Is less joyous, less brilliant,
less polite. There Is less Of fino gloss to every
thing. The Par!slan gentleman on the Boulc-
vart]s and In tho omnibuses aro less dainty In
apparcl-lcss smiling, mud mockinE, and jest
dlsposcd-than OF yorc. They arc more scri-
GUS, moro indifferent, and less hntsl1cd III
