asked an American lady who had lived
long in Paris what her experience had
been, and she answered that she liked
Paris, but she did not know whether she
liked the French or not. Il think that
Paris" she went on, lis the only city in
Europe that an American can live in for
years without getting to like the people.
You can not live ten years in Florence
without liking the Italians, or ten years
in Dresden or Munich without liking the
Germans But you can live in Paris
nearly all your life without liking the
French-indeed, without knowing them
any better than you did when you first
came. In this last clause lies the secret
of this opinion, | think. Long as the
American may remain in Paris, he re-
mains a stranger; except in very rare in
stances like the farmer in Leech's sketch,
he gets no fOrrarder." The Partisan does
not take the American or any other
stranger into his own although he
tries very hard and as best he knows how
TO make the American feel at home in the
cafes and restaurants and hotels of Paris.
And in this, at least, the Partisan is not
altogether unsuccessful Mat

Decrease of the American Colony.

All the members of the American col
ony in Paris deplore its steady decrease;
but | do not know that Americans at
home have any reason TO grieve. For the
kind of American who likes to live abroad
that he may rub shoulders with royalty
and dine with a duke now and again,
Paris, without the false glitter of the i'm
perial court, is Paris no longer, and he
hies him across the channel in the hope of
getting into the Prince of Wales set =
There are still not a few Americans who
know their Paris" far better than they do
New York, and are proud of it, who can
take you straight from the Boulevard des
Capucines TO the Hole-in- Wall, where
you get eggs scrambled with trufties,

hold, and the barrow man was arrested
for committing a nuisance. He stated

for his evengelistic ingenuity, and he was
forced to put his barrow to rest. The
device has since been utilized to adver-
tise various articles in this city, but was
suppressed by the police. | see that an
empluye of an American theatrical man

land has been arrested in some provincial
city for the same offense, and the manager
had to pay a round sum to keep him out
