The restaurant life of Paris is as dis
tinctive and idiosyncratic as the club
life of London. The two modes Of liv-
Ing are totally different, however. and
mark elementary Emergencies Of ma
tional character and temperament.
The Frenchman Is gourmet; the Eng

man likes the open air; the Englishman
likes open air, too, but he wants his
open air to be latticed in and girt about
against intrusion. That which delights

of the boulevards-offends the English

Yet the better restaurants Of Paris
do not get their profits of their French
patrons. 1t is the American who il
relied on to bring up the average and
TO convert a loss into a gain, and for
the Americans. therefore, the trap is
set and the triggers are adjusted. He
may swear and sQuirm and amuse the
onlOokers by his futile attempts In
very crooked French to make his mean
ing plain. but to no avail. He will
have to pay the bill. The swell res

Like everything great, 1t Is simple.
No price Is affixed to the several dishes
upon the bill Of fare. Thus the stranger
