PARIS AGAIN GAY:
CLOTHES CHANGE

New York.-Among the accumulated
gloOms In the war news there are lit
tie nuggets of cheer. One of these is
the undoubted improvement of what
might be called the general atmos-
phere of Paris. Every arrival from
the more serious chronicles, speak of
the intangible change which has come
over the municipal conscience. APP
parently, nothing is changed; yet in
the restaurants and hotels the menus
are more appetizing; the diners are
gayer; the theaters are fuller and the
pieces played there are more interest
ing and better mounted. AT the opera.
at the conferences of fashionable lee
tuners, at the few concerts, at all the
places where society gathers, the same
story of better dressing, of increased
interest in clothes and all that per-
tains to them, of the discreet reap
pearance of jewelry, is told by so
many witnesses that we are forced by
mere weight of numbers to believe
them.
Paris itself wonders. But make in
quirieS as to the reason, and after
more or less deliberation you will re-
ceive from all quarters the same an
swer. America is responsible.
The American troops are paid on
a scale that would turn French war
ministry white with horror. Besides,
many of the brand-new officers now
wearing Uncle Sans uniform are
men with bank accounts which would
be respected even in extravagant New
ork. Put any American with money
in his pocket in Paris. and his i'm
pulse is TO spend 1t and keep on
spending it. Wearing brown clothes
and q flannel shirt isn't going to alter
that instinct. It's too deep-seated.
