Information for Tourists.

been opened up by the horse show
at the Grand Palais. This annual event
is perhaps greater in social importance
than in interest for horse lovers. as it
draws the elite Of Partisan society.
And now for the tourists" every one
thinks. The Paris barmen, as result
of their share of the thinking. have de-
cided to reform the American bar and
make it friendly sort Of information
bureau for foreigners who do not speak
French Members of the new Interna-
tional Association of Barmen-no less
intend to be the friends and guides OF
their tourist customers this season.
The Sorbonne is taking the tourists
seriously this year, and series OF lee
lures has been arranged to give true
picture of the real Partisan life, as dlS-
tinct from the glitter OF Montmartre
and the Bohemian attractions OF Mont
parnaSse. The tourist must hear ABOUT
the more serious and useful part OF the
city'S day-to-day existence.
Let not the visitor salute his lady IN
the street. If he should make this I'M
forgivable mistake, the barmen and the
Sorbonne will lose interest In him. pc
cause the arbiters of elegance and fash
ion have now decreed that men must
again follow the fine traditions OF the
old days. 49,
The young man may not even lift
madame's hand to his lips either, when
he is indoors; he must bend gracefully
to touch it. So to the popular dance
tune, Il Kiss Your Hand Madame"
the new spirit of chivalry adds, in
effect, but not out Of doors"
Visitors who do not arrive too early
may enjoy Paris new bathing beach.
This is going to occupy an acre or so
near the Auteuil race course, and in the
Summer the swimming bath will be open
to the sky and the beach will afford
the Joys of sun bathing and other
Deauvillelike delights. -.
This years tourist moreover, will
probably happen upon wonderful new
house in the Rue st. Didier-a house
Of crystal, tinted with shades of pink,
mauve and lavender! Such soft colorS
inspire M. Antoine, the famous hair
dresser, in deVising coiffureS, and so he |
has planned for himself this rainbow
house which will rise like fairy story |
Of the Avenue Kleber.
Riviera Sunday Parties.
The great day to entertain in ones |
villa is Sunday, and Somerset Vaughan, |
the playwright, has been doing good |
deal of Sunday entertaining in his villa |
at Cap Ferrat. Mrs. Wilfrid Ashley has |
been among his guests, though she is |
very busy working on the decorative |
part of a new color film and says that |
this work will keep her out of good |
deal of the social whirl of Cannes, |
where many of her friends are now.
Cannes society is counting good |
deal upon the Aga Khan and former
King Manuel Of Portugal, who have |
been accepting the invitations OF many |
prominent hosteSses. King Manuel az

British Diplomat at Hague.
Very popular is Sir Cecil Hurst, who |
has succeeded Lord Finlay as British |
Judge at The Hague Permanent Court |
Of International Justice. His secretary |
evidently has no Sinecure, and has |
often been seen dining with Sir Cecil at |
Geneva and taking shorthand notes /
throughout the meal. Afterward, the /
tall, thin form Of his chief might have
been seen bending over a knotty prob
lem throughout the night.
Lean and keen-eyed, Sir Cecil Is .
typical lawyer, but he is not too auStere
In his learning and his hard work to
have become q great favorite with the
League Of Nations.
Lunch at Vatican.
Lunching at the Vatican has been 30
very rare q privilege of late years that
many people wondered what Cardinal
Gasparri would give the diplomatic
corps the other day to eat and drink.
They had conSomme en- taSse, macaroni |
paste cut into the attractive shapes
called scodeiline and cooked with eggs |
and truff1es, flets Of soles with savory /
rice or riSotto roast guinea fowl and |
mixed salad asparagus with sauce Hol- |
landaise, ices, pralinees with chopped |
hazelnuts and several kinds OF cheese, |
fruit and pastries.

tinguished party stayed only about an |

formal reception took place and toasts |
were drunk.
Antwerp Uses English.
1t Is becoming more and more useless |
to tfy to air your French here, for |
though It be quite good you may now be |
met in shop with q blank stare. Eng |
lish Is rapidly becoming Antwerp's Sec |
ond language.
Flemish itself is, Of course, one Of the |
least practical Of languages, as 1t has |
SO many dialects. Peasants from VIII |
lagos less than 20 miles apart some |
times find it hard to understand each |
other.
Solicitations In Budapest.
GOOD morning Is being superseded |
by the new greeting, Better future"
And II a Hungarian greetS you with |
Better future" you must answer God |
give" 1t is true that Scout offlcer has |
objected to Better future" as mere |
call on fate to be merciful, inferring q |
fatalistic past; he believes the Scout |
greeting, Good work" would be more
suited to the spirit of new Hungary.
But the Women'S National AsSocia- |
ton likes Better future" and employees !
in the towns Of Szeged, Mako and |
acknowledgement have been ordered to |
wear badges bearing the greeting One |
wonders whether the badge Is SUFFICIENT |
and whether the wearer merely bows 70 |
his acquaintance. Certainly 1t would |
make things easier for the visitor who |
had not learned the Hungarian for |
Better future" or God give"
