Tourist Should Accept the
French Way of Doing
Things When There.

Washington. Americans recently
have been reminded on high author
ity that they will find many things
that are different in Paris, and that
it is the part of courtesy, as well as
common sense, to accept the Partisan
ways of doing things when one is in
Paris.
There is no doubt about the differ
ence in many customs, says a bulletin
from the Washington headquarters of
the National Geographic society.
Sometimes the Partisan way seems
most welcome. at other times it seems
strange but in either event, one has
not far to look to find there is a
reason back of every custom.
At times the Partisan seems to have
outdone his American friends in eff
cheney. For example, there is the bill
ing device Of some of the larger side
walk cafes. Each plate and cup bears
a price mark 80 confines, one franc,
etc, and the refreshments are served
in containers bearing the proper cost
mark If a second cupful of choco-
late is ordered, the empty cup will be
set to one side, and another cupful
bearing the price mark served
When the customer is ready to pay,
he does not have to depend on the
memory of the waiter, or scan bill
of fare, nor does the waiter have to
juggle with checks. The addition of
the empty containers is obviously the
amount of his bill
In contrast is the rather cumber-
some method of booking a seat in 9
Paris theater. In some theaters, at
least, one must first purchase the right
to sit in certain part of the house
the orchestra, balcony or box This
coupon then must be taken to another
desk to have a seat assigned. Even
if one buys designated seat, this ex-
change always is necessary.
Finding Theater Seat.
The patron next turns to a head
usher, who leads him to the program
seller, and after he has purchased a
program, a custom which also prevails
in English theaters, he encounters the
peculiar Partisan practice of having
an usher charge to show him to a
seat. And there is little hope of his
finding his own seat because seats are
Identified only by numbers, not by
rows which are lettered, and then num-
bered by rows.
The American, impatient at his cir
euitous progress to his seat. and hav-
ing reached into his pocket three or
four times so far. is apt to become an
noyed and conclude he is being over
charged. This often is his feeling
even when he was buying seat
which, at an exchange rate of about
8 cents for the franc, cost him less
than 50, even adding in the price of
program, the price Of being shown to
his seat, and the so confines collect
ed if he went to a layatory between
the acts.
This price is for the best orchestra
seat in the best theaters in Paris,

Paris Customs
That Surprise

when comparable locations would
have cost him 81 or So in any New
York theater, even without the specu
lators tax which he would have to
pay there for popular shows.
And the Parisians have reasons for
each of the charges; for there is not
one, but there are several taxes, lev
led on theater seats, and these vary
with the locations in the house.
Several features of the best Pari-
sian theaters, however, must appeal to
even the casual visitor. One is the
large amount of standing room pro-
vided for and sold at a low price, so
that any one who is alone, wishes to
remain only an hour, or is skeptical
about the merits of a show, may go
in for a short time, and go on his way
without having expended the full
price Of a seat Another feature
which adds to the enjoyment of Paris
theater attendance is the large prom
enade and refreshment rooms which
permit a stroll between acts and make
it possible to sit down at table and
enjoy beverage or smoke, or to
walk about and do some window
shopping" at the many displays and
exhibitions which merchants have con-
tracted for in these super-lobbies.
The length of intermission, of course,
is much longer than those in Ameri-
can theaters frequently being from 20
to 80 minutes
The Search for Soap.
Another difficulty which the visitor
in Paris might as well make up his
mind to accept is that his hotel room,
no matter what the price, nor how
elegantly it may be furnished and pro-
yided with every other comfort, Is not
going to have any soap. One expla-
nation Of this lack may be in the fact
that all toilet articles are expensive,
being heavily taxed more plausible
one, in view of the fact that good
Paris hotels stop at no expense or
the Partisan regards the soap he uses
much as we do a toothbrush, as pc
culiarly personal. and individual thing,
not to be provided by some one else.
Ice is scarce in Paris, as it is in
England In neither London nor
Paris is the climate such that cold
drinks are necessary to comfort any
way, the Europeans may be right in
their belief that chilled drinks impede
the processes of digestion. Many
American doctors concur; and nobody
will argue with the French about gas
tronomic topics.
1t Is almost unnecessary to inquire,
Where is a good place to eat in
PARISH One can hardly go wrong if
he visits Paris cafe, serving Pari-
slams, and having the earmarks of a
reasonably good establishment. Here
again the Partisan habit, which pre-
walls all over Europe, Of allocating
small charges which we simply sum
up in overhead may give rise to mis-
understanding At. the price Of the
franc in recent months one may eat,
in any French hotel cr cafe, which is
not one Of the few places especially
designed to cater to .ftreigners, a
bountiful meal, prepared by the
worlds best chefs at price which

seems ridiculously low. At French
cafes which are world-famous for
their cuisine, it is hard for one to
spend more than the equivalent Of a
dollar for a meal Yet the charges
on the bill, included in that amount
for cover service, and even for napkin,
being unexpected. loom large in the
visitors mind.
The extreme thrift of the French Is
nowhere better illustrated than in
some of the smaller cafes where reg
ular patrons file their napkins In a
sort of rack, suggestive Of the rows

Der shops and pay once week for
the laundry OF that bit of linen.
Street Cars and Taxis.
On street car In Paris one pays
only for the distance he wishes to
ride This is done by coming the
routes, and requires considerable
bookkeeping on the part of the con-
duetor, and also obliges the passen-
ger to keep his receipt to be shown on
demand, if he remains on the car to
another zone.
Few visitors patronize street cars !;
the taxis are too convenient and too
cheap. The tariffs are ridiculously
low Here again, however, arise mis-
understandings because after eleven
o'clock at night taxi drivers can put
down their white metal flag (Which
ordinarily means that the taxi is emp
ty and is required to accept any fare
at the regular tariff) and may charge
double fare. Unfortunately the me-
tiers do not register the excess fare,
the driver usually cannot speak
enough English to explain the. reason
for asking twice as much as the me-
ter indicates, and there ensue frequent
arguments.
No one can be in Paris long without
being impressed by the courtesy of the
policemen; Americans, however, may
fail TO note, or noting the fact they
may rebel at the custom which Is to
touch ones hat to policeman when
asking him question. Now the
Frenchman who is one of the most
iberty-loving and Independent per-
sons in the world sees nothing de
meaning in that practice. And any
one who does it receives salute and
a bow in return which more than
atones for his pains.
A visitor in Paris cannot help won
dering what would happen If the po-
licemen, public officials, shop keepers,
and many pedestrians on the down
town streets of any American city
were some month suddenly to be ac-
costed all day long by foreigners
who either addressed them in
strange tongue or bombarded them
with questions in lame efforts to speak
their own language. But that is what
occurs in all the boulevards and prin-
cipal streets Of Paris during the heavy
tourist seasons; and the courtesy with
which the Partisan, official or layman,
tries to understand and, understand
ing, the trouble he takes to give in
formation or directions, is one Of the
finest evidences of his innate courtesy.
