Manned Soldiers Are Most Optimistic People in
French Capital, Says Philadelphia Girl
Sculptor, Home After Hospital Work

HNHE most cheerful persons in sgddeued
L Paris-once the gaycst capital in all l;u.
rope-in fact. the only cheerful persons in
that city today are the soldiers. according
TO Miss Winifred Ward. one Of America s
noted woman sCulptors. who has lust re-
turned from Paris where she has been
studying Uniform bandaging
Men who are manned and crippled for
life, men who come home without their legs
or their arms and men who come home
blind and sightless. they are the op-
timists.' said Miss ward in discussing the
cheerful men of Paris.
Miss Ward, who is n Philadelphia girl.
the daughter of Dr. L. Z. ward l4l5 South
Broad street. and who now has - studio at
81 Fifth avenue, New York. brings tales of
. changed Paris. a solemn Paris. which
Americans would not recognize as gay
Paree."
"'rhere are few people in Paris Most Of
the women are in black. 80 one wears
evening gowns to anything" said Miss
Ward today. There is a solemn air--a
feeling Of oppression Streets which were
crowded and shops which held throngs Of
busy buyers before the war are deserted
Here is an instance Of the desttutiou of
Paris. There is one express company Office
in Paris where Americans always COugre-
gated daily before the war to get their
checks cashed and TO get their mail. 1t
was crowded during every hour Of the day
One daN last month | went there to do
some writing Not person came in dur
ing the hours | was there"
Miss Ward says that, although persons
talk and write about London being dark at
night, few realize that Paris is not over the
Zeppelin raid influence either. and that
after certain hours there are no lights in
some Of the sections of Paris.
The cost of food in Paris has gone up In
alarming leaps and bounds until American
high cost OF living prices look like a bargain
counter alongside of the French prices
Eggs at twelve cents each are cheap. That
makes them Sl.i4 dozen. according to
Miss Ward, who says the cost OF food is
tremendous.
