Paris, June 1O.-When I came to
Paris for the first time there were
three things I wanted to see without
any loss OF time. They were Napol-
cons tomb at the Invalides, the Eiffel
Tower. and the Bots de Boulogne. AT.
ter I had seen these I was willing to
look at anything else Paris had to
show me. And now, after a few years
ind that my choice was not very diff
ferent from that of many others who
have come after me to this attractive
city,. Everybody wants to see the
mausoleum OF the great emperor. and
no one who has ever seen a photo
graph Of the Eiffel Tower, or has heard
Of the famous Boes de Boulogne can
be In the capital long without wanting
to make their acquaintance at close
quarters. Everybody must see the
Louvre and Luxembourg museums;
Notre Dame. the Madeline and other
historic churches; and many visitors
to Paris would feel they missed one
of its principal attractions If they did
not go to Pere-Lachaise. Others get
up early to see the wonderful hive of
activity presented in the morning at
the Halles. while students Of religion.
numismatics and military history find
delight in inspecting the catacombs.
the Mannaie, and the Ecole Militaire.
II all depends upon what you want;
Paris can accommodate you.
But, II am not mistaken. museums
and art galleries. shops and cemeter-
les do not altogether satisfy those
who come to the gay city. There
seems to be widespread notion
among the inhabitants of other coun-
tries that Paris has something to
show more piQuant, and more risque
than they can see at home. And so,
