PARIS CAFES CEASE TO

Famous Institutions Are the Decline -Anglo-Saxon
Bars Taking Their Piace-Were Once the Center Of
All Fashionable Life 10 the French Capital

The Paris cafe, most charming and
worthicst of its kind, rose in the fin
de steele of hundred years ago, and
is now threatened with decline. I'm
doubtedly Parisians of the better sort
shun their cafes as places of more
than promiscuous company; they re-
proach them with being alcoholic, the
homes of adulteration; and Paul
Bourget speaks of the cafe habit as
the falling of our lower classes
just as II his worthy forbears did not
revel In 1t thankfully, the gentle. seem
ly cafe habit of Parisians, so long the
envy and the admiration of the ma
tions.
IT. is predicted that the Paris cafes
will degenerate into so many Anglo
Saxon bars.
One goes to wine shop to drink
wine; to a restaurant to eat to ho-
tel to sleep. One goes to a cafe to
sit, to see and be seen, to play games,
to read the papers, and to sun oneself
in the gayety of others.
In cafe, the refreshment is an ex-

1t was from a table of a cafe ter
race of the Palais-Royal that Camille
Desmoulins harangued the populace
the night before the taking of the
Bastiile; and it was around these same
cafe tables that the red-handed ones
of the Terror began to play the gen
tleman. Cafes were public clubs for
pose and politeness, where the women
mingled in equality with men
The tone of the cafes rose through
the Directory and the Empire. They
became the natural clubs and smoking
rooms of the Grande Armee. Tri-

Along about this time of year the
man in the city gets the country

where the country folks call each 9TH

that God made the country and man

ing the countryman should come to
the city and see the sights, hear the
noise and be impressed but what he
wants Is to escape to the quietude OF
the rural districts and be with God

nauseated with metropolitan scenes
and customs. He yearns to get out
into the pure air preserves where he
can drink buttermilk and study the
locomotion of the wabbly, new calf.
Bacon says, God Almighty first
planted a garden"-and the city man
yearns to follow in His footsteps He
believes with Cowper that rural sounds
as well as rural sights exhilarate the
spirit, and he longs to hear the low

heifer, the chorus of the frogs and the
farmer lad calling "Poigh! Poigh!"
