Would Convince
YGHlkS Paris Not

BY NEWTON c, PARKE,
international News Service staff Cor
respondent.)

respondsnt.)
PARIS, July y.-To counterfeit the
belief among many Americans that
Paris is the worlds modern Babylon. "
Achille Segard. French writer, pro-
poses that a large organization be
formed Immediately to introduce Amer
lean tourists into French homes this
summer and show them the real Paris
ian families that they never see in the
jazz band cafes.
We all know many Americans who
think they know Paris because they
have seen undraped women at the
Folies- Bergere, or have visited the
Moulin Rouge, or the restaurants OF
Montmartre," writes Segard. There
are many others who believe that the
beautifully dressed girls who 1eave their
tables in the ultra fashionable cafes to
dance with handsome young strangers
are merely daughters from good fami-
lies who are enjoying a good time. They
do not know that these are the women
of the demi-monde.
ITO make known to our American
friends that it is not in these estab-
lishments of pleasure that they may
best judge our aristocracy, our middle
class or our business men, perhaps we
should return to the method employed
while the American army was In
France. and which has fallen into dis
llse. At that time large number OF
private families expressed their willing
ness to invite to teas, to garden par
ties, to lunch or to dinner American
soldiers and officers on leave in Paris
The results were excellent. So far as
the music halls were concerned, 1t was
a decisive counter propaganda.
why can not the organizers of this
movement take the initiative in an
other OF the same kind? They might
study lists of incoming tourists, seek
information about them in the United
States consulate and revive a custom
which had such favorable results.
1.-THE national tourist office and the
Touring club of France have taken
care OF the lodging of tourists from
America who have even now begun to
arrive. But there Is a moral element
which these great organizations can
not take count of and which must be
considered II our great friends from the
other side of the Atlantic are to carry
back good impressions of France"
