were tossed Y. the path of his car and thousands of throats shouted praises at the man who has made humanity a little more proud Of itself.
 Fountains were playing halfway down the Champs Elysee and in the Place de la Concorde, adding 10 the beauty of the scene. In the great paved square outside the Hotel de Vile, every inch of open space was occupied by cheering Parisians.
 Inside the ancient structure that stands by the Seine, 5,0U0 fortunate folk had huddled clutching their precious invitations 10 the cere- monies there. The corridors and all the open salons were packed with people. eager eyed and excited to the extreme.
 Guest of Two Marshals
 Captain Lindbergh was also the honored guest today of two famous marshals of Erance-Foch and Joffre. He also found time In his busy days program to make a trip 10 the Hotel Des Invalides 10 greet . delegation of Belgian war wound- ed who have been visiting in Paris
 Your effort was q great one,' Marsha. Foch told the flier. be cause it shows what q young man can do when he is well prepared for his attempt and has the cour- age to see 1t through
 Then the. allied generalissimo presented Lindbergh with his pie ture
 Tt isn't the picture Of q pretty girl" he remarked, but it is the picture of friend"
 The people of Paris today show cd that, despite Lindbergh's numer- ous appearances of the last four days, the first man 10 make a non- stop flight from New York to the French capital is still an object of curiosity to them.
 A half hour before he was sched- uled to arrive at Marshal Foch's home, big crowd had gathered there, and Lindbergh received a tumultuous greeting as he drove up.
 In response to the usual de- mands. Foch accompanied his guest to the steps of the house where they were photographed together, the marshal holding the aviator's hand.
 Kissed by Joffre
 I,indbergh's visit to Joffre was more or less impromptu The old hero of the Marne threw his arms around the airman and gave him the accolade a kiss on each cheek - about the 50th he has re- ceived since his arrival.
 T can never forget my wonder ful reception in America ten years ago." the marshal said. T am glad 1t is you who are now returning it."
 The visit to the Invalides was arranged by Mrs. Archibald Mac Kay. who has long been interested in relief work in Belgium. Two of the wounded Belgians spoke Eng fish.
 You're a great boy" said one, and the other chimed in: You have done the greatest thing of all. You are the greatest flier in the world"
 Moved by Tributes
 Lindbergh was greatly moved at the homage of the war mutilated, and there were tears in his eyes as he thanked them for his reception. He was received at the Invalides by NJ. Demoge, president of the first association of war wounded: the French general Marriaux, comman- dant of the Invalides and General Errard. chief of staff to General Gouraud. in full uniform.
 On the other hand, Marshal Foch. his first host of the morning, wore . plain civilian suit. In honor of tho occasion, however, the marshal had in his buttonhole the ribbon of the American distinguished service which he received at the hands of General Pershing.
 Wears New Suit
 Lindbergh wore another of his new Paris made suits, a we'll fitting gray suit with a gray hat Of almost tho same shade. new black low shoes. white shirt and collar with black red-dotted tie. In his buttonhole was the narrow red ribbon of the Legion of Honor.
 He had taken leaf from yester- days experience and the fountain pen that showed prominently in the outside pocket of his coat had dis appeared. This was taken as a sign that he was weary of signing auto graphs. He had fewer requests to- day than yesterday. when it appeared that he might develop a case of writer's cramp.
 After the mornings round of off cial visits, Lindbergh had a bit of relaxation. hopping into an automo- bile with MT. and Mrs. Parmely Herrick for a visit to Versailles.
 Has First Sight Seeing
 There he enjoyed his first quiet sightseeing. For the first time since his arrival he was not surrounded by crowds of hero worshippers. and he and his companions had a pleasant visit to the famous chateau
 Lindbergh was interested most of all in the hall of mirrors, where the peace treaty was signed. He follow ed the usual tourists itinerary, talk ons, and expressed much admiration ing in both the big and little Trian- ons and expressed much admiration for the great park back of the chateau with its beautiful trees and lagoons.
 Lindbergh may enjoy Paris and ell the pomp and ceremony he is going through. but his conversation when he can steer it is generally of aviation. His talk 10 and from Yer sailles in fact. was almost entirely about the future in the air.
 He had hardly returned from Yer sailles before he was due to go to the ministry of foreign affairs for
