It in NJ. Paul Claudel, French Am
bassador, whom the much harassed
American visiting Paris must thank
that the Government on the SEINE mas
at last and after repeated promises dis
posed OF the question of identity cards
for those who remain on French SOL
more than two weeks. This order or
having all visitors seek the marie or
MAYOR of what section of Paris or any
other mart of France he might happen
to be in and pay a sum equivalent 10
50 to have the period OF sojourn eN-
tended, struck many as such an IN
convenience and useless expense thAt
those who did go to France made sure
they would leave 1t within the pre-.
scribed IA DAYS. This was not deemed
good economy and NJ. Claudel during
his brief stay at the American Capital
heard enough about 1t to suggest a re-
peal and this has gone into erect.
Citizens of this and other countries
can now have their cards of identity
extended gratis at the banks they
patronize or through the friendly IN
PREVENTION of the concierge, that indis-
pensable adjunct to hotel lie IN
Europe. and for no greater Zee than
this functionary usually receives from
all who employ him. This saves many
hours OF waiting at crowded municipai
centers and certainly keeps the visitor
in better humor If he decides TO pro-
long his stay in France. The conse
ouence is that a great influx of Amerl-
cans from every part of Europe ana
MANY from beyond the dividing ocean
have rushed to Paris to enjoy the Won
derful Spring which this city, unlike
less favored capitals, has enjoyed since
the latter days of March.
Mrs c. E.. c. G. Charlton, wife OF

Mrs. Charlton was a devotee OF Bit
fsh cookery, and she never became
reconciled to the different mode whlcn
holds in this country. she set most
delightful tea table. ana those VINO
happened in about 4 o'clock could
taste those fine English scenes which |
the American cook seems unable TO
make. Served piping hot with the |
sweet. unsalted butter, also an EngIsn
npecialty. these scenes mean all TO the |
Triton that daffies and maple sirup |
mean to the American. Mrs. Charlton |
also served on occasion an assortment |
of buns. bath buns, for instance, |
which seem a first cousin to the |
American doughnut. but baked in a |
round high cake instead or fried In |
a ring like the native counterpart |
