The first thing that strikes the visitor,
especially the British visitor. when he
comes To Paris is the cafe life of the
town. writes q Partisan correspondent.
The crowd sitting on the 'terrasses" Of
the great brasseries and restaurants
is one of the most characteristic sights

by this means you can drink in with
out conscious effort the exhilaTating and
special atmosphere of the grand bOule-

Yet the Partisan does make great use
Of the cafe. though he does not sit
there the live long day as sore of his
critics suppose. The native born citi-

il is a club, answering all the purposes
OF comfort and recreation without the
privacy that IS furnished by q London
