 bit of a place called a restaurant
 with seats for six people and thought
 I might bribe the old lady into giving us at least enough bread and butter to eat. When I found the place used all the French words I knew, one after the other and then repeated
 them backwards, but nothing doing.
 Just then little girl came out of the kitchen and said in perfectly good English, Your French is pretty rot ten, but sit down and I'll have mother get you some eggs, potatoes and cof- fec"
 After breakfast we hurried to the Grand Hotel on the Place de la Opera to get bath and clean up as it had been many moons since we had
 been within miles of such a luxury. By means of repeating 'de peau chaud" to a chan1bermaid till a gleam of intelligence came to life 1 finally secured enough hot water to make a moderately generous foot bath. I know that girl is wondering yet how any one mortal could sQuander so much water on one bath.
 SaIvo Announces Armistiee.
 The signing of the armistice was announced at II o'clock by salyo of five guns from the forts. I was just coming out of the subway when the guns boomed and I heard a French of ficer say The Peace Barrage" and in the Iwinkling of an eye the entire aspect of Paris changed. People in the streets sang, wept and shouted for joy. Flags appeared everywhere as if by magic and the bouleyards were taken possession of by the triumphant processions of men, women and chil- dren carrying the banners of the Al lies. By noon the bouleyards were packed with people and the crowds i took possession of the. taxis and Tor ries and American trucks were loaded with soldiers all parading up one boulevard and down the next

The Prefect of Police gave orders that the lights could be turned on in the evening and the blue shad- ing which for four years had protected Paris from enemy air raids was wash ed off the windows. First Lights in Four Years.
 At seven o'clock Paris suddenly be- came city of light again and that night will never be forgotten Tn the hearts of the people of that city as the crowds, stimulated even more by the artificial lights, continued to give vent to their feelings all during the night.

Demogeat appeared on the balcony and sang the national airs Of France and America. The strains of these great battle hymns echoed up and down the boulevard while the crowd, which certainly numbered 75,- 900, stood bareheaded and silently wept.
 American soldiers, arm in arm witL French soldiers, mingled in the crowds and there is no harm in say ing were kissed and hugged as they never were before by men, women and girls, too.
 Yet there were many little silent tragedies enacted that evening. In the cafe where l had dinner an old man came up to me and handed me a lit tie French flag, asking that I wear it tor his son who had been killed just three weeks before and would never Know that tho war was over.
 Stars and Stripes Everywncre.
 The Stars and Stripes were seen everywhere-rippling bravely from every house and place of business in ] gay Farce, dropping from every win dow gathered into gorgeous clusters along the beautiful Street of Peace" i from bicycles. cabbies' whips and the big cumbersome mill tary lorries, sold by velturesome street vendors, pinned proudly on the women's blOuscs and mems coat lapels. decking every public statue and monuments splendid. carnival blaze sof the colors of the United States. tt
 But even more interesting was the gay populace, thronging every street, never gayer of heart. eager to meet . and welcome the American. They were swarming on the boulevards worse than bees, in the public parks and squares and all the principal ave tues searching good spot to see the
