stan correspondent Oh j ne Sthr.
HARIS.-Human destinations are
- pretty much the same. and
when you're travelling in for
eign country you're rather glad.
There is an inestimable pleasure in
encountering some one In Paris whom
you saw in London, or perhaps on the
liner coming over. A familiar face
among thousands of strange ones is a
little like homecoming.
That's the way it was when we saw
Bette Davis and Harmon Nelson in
Paris.
We met them first in our London
Hotel-Bette, blond, charming and as
beautiful off the screen as on, and her
husband, tall. dark. quiet in way. but
interesting and clever. the sort of
fellow you could imagine still suavely
leading his famous Hollywood orches-
ira around 3 am. when the crowd
begins to get little rowdy. He sings,
too, as extremely well as he plays a
saxophone.
Conversation on CollOquialisms.
The conversation that night in Lon
don was about English colloquialisms-
how they say tariff" instead Of
menu" and "savory' instead Of
"cheese."
And then Bette told about a most
unusual word she had discovered while
motoring through Wales.
What is it?" we asked.
But it turned out to be word that
one just couldn't carry around, so it
had to be sent for. When 1t arrived, it
turned out to be this:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
drobwll-llantysilio-g gogogoch. And that
Is the name Of church!
We ran into the Nelson's again cross
ing the English Channel. Bette was
refreshing her memory of English his
tory by reading Walter SCOTS 'Kenil-
worth" Her husband was out on deck
taking pictures OF the looming shore of
France.
And then-reunion in Paris, start
ing with Bette confessing disappoint-
ment that the English Channel cross
Ing was less rough than yawl trip
she had taken off the California
coast with the ubiquitous e. de S.
Melcher, and ending with a decision
Evening star., 1936-11-19

to merge our respective knowledges
of Paris to do something strange"
Trip Through Sewer Proposed.
We proposed rowboat trip through
Sewer-not one of the Jean Vatican
kind, but one of the clean and sani-
tary ones the public is allowed to
visit. The only thing that goes
through 1t besides tourists Is over
flow rain water. and perhaps an oc-
caSional mouse.
"Ham"-that's Harmon Nelson's
nickname-thought that would be
amusing. Bette didn't. Thus it was
that Hollywood orchestra leader and
an American newspaper man made
their way to the Place de la Con-
corde. the historic concourse skirted
on one side by the River Seine. Not
many feet from the spot where Marie
Antoinette was guillotined, we de-
scended a mine-like passage to a
sewer.
BY the light Of Pickering flares we
could see cavalcade of rowboats
joined together by iron chains that
clanked more than ScroogeS ghost.
We took seats in a boat and pres
emily we started with power supplied
by about dozen French workmen
pulling chains as they walked along
Lodges on both sides.
ROwbOat Conversation.
After the first look around at this
aquatic subway, there wasn't much
to see. We relaxed and beean i'~.-r-
ing to the conversation of a middle.
aged couple in the boat just uIllad.
They were holding a post-mortem on
q night-before bridge game. Ten
minutes later we assembled another
mlne-like passage and found ourselves
before La Madeleine, and not too far
from sidewalk cafe. There we sat
Evening star., 1936-11-19

underground storage cellars. The
produce farmers don't come rumbling
in with their horse-drawn carts until
about 2 am. We wandered about in
that vicinity, however, and finally
ended up in lie Pere Tranquille"
(The Tranquil Father, q night club
where the patron" took great delight
in having his orchestra greet
Americans with French versions Of
"The Music Goes Round and Round"
and Who's Afraid of the Big,
Bad Wolf"
Music speeded the hours. Oc-
casionally, between dance selections,
one could hear the clatter OF horses
hoofs on the cobbles outside. It con-
trasteG strangely with the glittering
gilt and silver of a fashionable night
club.
Wandering out in what are usually
known as "the still, small hours"
We found the streets alive with noise
and horses, farmers and porters, carts
and even an occasional auto truck.
The proudest farmers on earth were

getting ready for their mornings
business.
And when they were done, the
farmers lay down on the sidewalk
atop a pile Of sacks TO sleep until
the auction market opened at 4 am.
for two hours business. Still within
earshot of lie Pere Tranquille's"
orchestra, we watched them sleeping
there.
On q wall above one OF them was
that annoying sign, Defense
d'afficher."
Ham" Nelson telephoned us the
next morning. He had bought a
French dictionary.
Say" he said, defense daft
ficher' doesn't mean anything but
Post no bills"

down q narrow, serpentine street. More
Defense d'afficher" signs. More caba-
rets. In Paris they give them such
strange names-"The Black Cat" /"
1.-THE Agile Rabbit" "The Dead Rat"
and THE Cabaret Of Nothing" (Caba-
ret du Neant), where tables took the
form Of coffiins.
On the Boulevard de Clichy we took
taxicab for Montparnasse, directly
across Paris. Except that 1t Is not SO
high. Montparnasse seemed much like
Montmartre. There were more stores
advertising art supplies, however, and
more men wearing berets. The cabarets
looked the same, but there were fewer
tourists, and more people were playing
chess, and even writing. It appeared
that Ernest Hemingway cultivated a
taste for writing at cafe tables while
he was a resident of the Latin Quarter
or Montparnasse.
Waiting for Life ut Market.
1t was still too early to visit Las
Halles, the famous Paris 22-acre
marketplace which covers 1,20O

The Post Office Department said to-
day it had ordered United States post
masters to refuse until further notice
parcel post packages addressed to
Spain.
Conditions in Spain have made de-
livery so uncertain, John D. Lamiell,
director of international postal service,
said, the department has found it ad-
visable to forbid mailings of parcel
post matter to either Spain or the
Spanish zone in Morocco.
Other classes of mail have not yet
been ordered held up, he said, because
authorities here have received word
from France that all American mail
except parcel post has been delivered
regularly to Spanish authorities.

ENGLISH EDITOR
 FORUM SPEAKER

The art of enjoying life may be learned from the poets, J, Middleton Murry, English editor and critic said last night ct the Second Church forum. To get the utmost from life, the speaker declared, one must ex- tract internal" beauty from pain as well as joy. Ho quoted the famous lines spoken by Macbeth on learn- Ing of the death of the queen, and said that this passage was treNs- ured by the mind in spite of It's mel. ancholy because 1t was beautiful.

Changes May Occur


 Changes in the democratic party set.up may be made here as re- suit of the appointment of @ post master, due this week. These would result if either Warden John J. Sheridan or Chairman of the Dem- ocratic town committee Frank I. Green are appointed
 Of course 1t is quite probable that neither of these two candidates will be selected from the list of eight applicants for the important post. However, no matter who the ap- pointee will be, he will be required to withdraw from political office by the civil service rules.
 If Chairman Green were appoint cd he would have to resign from the town committee when his term ends in the spring, and would be required to withdraw from active politics. Similarly if Warden Sheri- dan were named, he could not again be candidate for the 0fiice of warden when his term expires in May.
 This same rule would apply to Borough Clerk Charles Daly or Judge of Probate D. Emett Shea, If either were named to the postmas-
