90 Ii Paris 90

Iaris, DC 24.-paris 7ould be a
city of dignified quiet were it not
for the strange variety Of auto horns
employed on its boulevards. Every
great city has it's identifying sound
and that of Paris is the honking of
ten million geese.
Since Paris streets run every
which way and jut out at every
angle motor traffic is regulated, not
by eye but by ear. One drives, one
crosses streets, one leaves curb
stones entirely by ear, as one some-
times learns music. The Paris
auto horns do not foot, they actu-
ally "honk" and "quack." The SUBJ
ways are noiseless and there are
no elevateds. There is no roar of
the city traffic to greet the ears as
in Manhattan. Only the quacking
of autos in distress as they shoot
by the windows.
They say that Paris taxis are the
cheapest in the world. But they
forget to mention that at hours
when one is most likely to want a
taxi, they becom equite as cxpen,
sive as any in New York and twice
as hard to find. Most folk can do
without taxi until IL o'clock at
night. And then it is the meter
rate is doubled, while the average
driven will candidly tell you he in
tends going home and has no inten-
ton of changing his plan.
The first lesson an American
must learn upon arriving in Paris
is this: he cannot change the habits
of the Frenchman. And the habits
of the Frenchman are tuned to a
leisurely pace. He regulates most
carefully most of the hours Of his
day, and most of the days of the
week. He will not be rushed and
he will not be hurried. His noon
hour begins at IL and his lunch
hours ends at 2.
At IL he begins to shut up his
shop or his business. Even in the
heart Of the exclusive "shoppe" belt
the blinds are drawn at noon and
the doors are locked until ready to
reopen in the afternoon. All bust
ness suspends until after the noon

with amazement or indignation,
but there is nothing he can do
about it. They tell me that the
average French business man will
trust neither his cash drawer nor
his business with his help. When
he goes to lunch or dinner the en-.
tire force must 60 and the business
must close.
The other day I went into the
office of one Of the biggest steam
ship lines in connection with fu-
ture reservation. AS the gong
struck the noon hour, down came
the blinds and the crowd of i'm
formation seekers were politely
exoted. I happened to be in con-
versation with one Of the big Off
cials. He invited mo to join him

it apparent that no further bust

On Monday, which is the "big
sale" day of American cities,
all Paris shuts up business 50 that
the stores and office buildings can
be cleaned. An army of cleaners
goes through all the places and
even on the main thoroughfares
one finds a repetition of Sunday.
And since most places close down
Saturday afternoon, it is apparent
that this not such a hard life.

ices never ceases, and cleaning out
of places takes on the aspect of
perpetual motion, Paris observes

what the Paris bath night may be,
since baths arc SO difficult to
achieve.

greatest difficulties of Paris might
be, / should unhesitatingly reply:

But please don't ask me why.
