AMERICANS IN PARIS.

The most astonishing observation I
made i'm Paris concerned our American
ladies who were there at the same time.
Their behavior was of such u nature that
they are certain to keep back their most
experiences when they return to
New York and talk the trip over with their
mothers and daughters, for they made il a
rule to observe the Partisan elephant i'm

the brilliant little garden Oft the Champs
Elysees, and are also ina the Latin Quar-
ter. In some places they form the
main and nightly performance, hut i'm
others. AS in ths. .jassiin se Paris, they
occur two ar three times "a week ON fixed
nights. My opinion docs not pretend To
be that of an expert, hut IL il that i'm all

The Americans i'm Paris are divided into
two sets. those who live at the hotels AT
least during "A part OF their stay and the
iients. In both the hotels and tho houses
these people form parties that unite in u
determination tai spend no night indoors.

But, tai get back to to the can-can. the
dancing had just begun. and WAS therefore
reasonably decorous. Only now and then
