The chocolate candy and tins Of hard
candy the American army have in
such prodigality are the envy of the
French. Two pieces Of chocolate will
win a smile from the hardest hearted
coachman who refuses to take you in
the direction you wish to go.
That's the trouble with taxis over
here; there are plenty of them, it
seems, and the little one-horse fiacres
also, but no driver has any desire to
go where you are going. AS the
doughboy. puts it: "If you try to get
a taxi the chauffeur tells you his tire
Is tired" Whatever hour of the day
you want horse conveyance the
coachman tells you his horse has to
eat, and, often, when he consents to
take you, you have to pay his fare to
where you want to go and then back
to some place he wants to go. Such
are the conditions of life in Paris.
There's no use trying to learn any
thing from the French regarding
cheaper methods, for they are as be-
wildered and confused and bitter
about prices as the visitors. Their
frequent taunt to the employers is:
Wen go to Belgium, where living is
cheap"
Another interesting industrial dis
cussion that arises wherever French
and Americans talk together is prohi-
bition in the United States. Not that
the French care whether the American
is permitted to get drunk on his whis-
key, or stay sober. but he is bitterly
disappointed over the stoppage OF i'm
ported wine. france had hoped to re-
coup much OF her war loss from her
vineyards, and America was a large
purchaser Of champagne, claret and
Dubonnet. Now that she can no long
er sell these wines TO America, she
knows that her loss will be greater.
When it is argued that the rest of
Europe is for prohibition, that England
and Holland are big consumers OF
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-09-14

citation in francs must be taken into
account In all the new prices. Ono
American dollar goes further than II
ever did. Before the war It brought 8
francs. At the present moment 1t
brings over Z.
The French do not realize that this
high cost of everything will rctard
American tourists. They know the
Americans are rich, but they do not
realize the drain on their purses by
war measures and tremendous taxes.
To sum 1t up, Americans once came to
Paris because it was cheap and de-
lightful. To-day it has the drawbacks
due to war and it is no longer cheap
butter and Sugar Not Served.
Americans who arc here do not find
IL difficult to get what they want. but
they must have the money to buy II.
Take butter. and also sugar. Neither
of these is furnished with a meal ex-
cept in rare cases. The Ritz and simi.
lar hotels do not serve sugar. Butter
is served at most of the hotels with
coffee in the morning, but 1t Is only a
small lump camouflaged into six little
circles which are mostly open spaces.
All six vanish at the touch of knife.
If one desires butter the waiter can
buy 1t. quarter of a pound at a time,
but it must be Kept by the person who
buys 1t. That is the reason for the
numerous little crooks that are stand
ing, full of water, in the windows OF
the American visitors.
1t is difficult to buy sugar. There
have been no sugar cards for over six
weeks. The Americans have brought
over boxes of sugar In their trunks
and those of us who are selfish and
ungenerous are still having it with
coffee and tea. Those dearly beloved
crescent shaped rolls that always
camc up SO piping hot, in the middle
Of a napkin, with ones early morning
coffee have disappeared from the hotel
tray. They, also, can be bought, as
can the little cakes and tarts of pre-
war days. These tarts, however, are
like the ice cream and candy and
jams they are made with saccharine
and the Americans won't eat them.

Fortune From a Rose

r TERE is an interesting story
II about the origin of that most
- beautiful Of flowers, thea Amer
lean Beauty rose. The late, Hon.
George Bancroft, besides being a
historian and scholar, was one of the
first amateur rose growers in America
Every year he imported cuttings from
the leading flower growers OF Europe.
The King of Prussia-when old Kaiser
William was King-allowed the Amer
lean historian to have a slip of what
ever no might fancy in the royal con-
servatorieS. Mr.. Bancroft's gardener
used to cultivate some of his roses in
an old house away out on f. or per-
haps 1t was G street, above Twenty
second street, in the West End of
Washington, d. C. Mrs. Grant had a
florist named Field in charge of the
White House conservatory. He was
a rose grower of rare merit and skill
in his artistic work.
One day he Happened into the old
building where Mr.. Bancroft's gar
dener potted his plants and budded his
roses over in n corner he observed
a rose of a variety utterly unknown
to him and of wonderful size and per-
lection in form and color. Where
did this come FROM" he carelessly
inquired of his rose growing confrere.
L.
tings we imported from Germany" the
man replied. 1t was evident to Mr..
Field that the other did not in the
least comprehend the value of the
new plant. AfteR some talk Mr.. Field
bought the cuttings he had seen for IS.
A year thereafter, when he had propa-

there, so we turned the motor toward
a bridge, at the far end of which, so
we were told by a French officer, there
was a garden where dinner was
served. And such a garden as it was
Bosky, sweet smelling, crowded with
great trees, and silent. Little kiosks
were placed on mounds under espe-
cially large trees, and here in the
long twilight that lasts until 10 o'clock
dinner is served.
The young woman who wore the
amazing costume, or rather lack of
costume, sat In one OF the shadiest of
these kiosks. She walked over from q
house near by, and here is her costume
described without exaggeration: \
bathing suit, cut in one piece, of black
satin without touch of ornament. 1t
was cut off at the knee, in a low half
circle at the neck and the sleeves We're
three inches long and loose from the
shoulder. All the rest of her. legs,
neck, arms and face. was painted or
dyed bright copper. Her skin looked
as though It were made of soft copper
that had been polished to its greatest
brilliancy. Her face was slightly made
up in order to give color to the cop
