Parisiennes are defiantly chic
because closer inspection reveals
their clothes are miracles of
make and :mend. Remarking on
Parisiennes' colorful clothes, l
was told this has been their way
of defying the Germans. All
wear platform shoes with fabric
tops, also of gay colors. Many
women who were unable to af-
ford to buy shoes learned to
make their own. / am told all
but the wealthy and war profit
GERS have been obliged to spend
their entire salary and to dig
into their savings to buy food.
Restaurant meals cost anything
from five to ten dollars without
satisfying even small appetites.
The last four years undoubt-
eddy have left an indelible mark
on Parisians, but this will never
be apparent to the casual OBJ
server. When conditions once
again become normal, Paris will
soon reconquer her title of City
of Light" Paris of the great
American dream.

Gay Poree' Sad at Heart
Returning Frenchwomdn Finds
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE
NEA Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Sept. z - The last
time / saw Paris-the hated
Boche was storming at the city's
gates and fear was in every
body's heart.
Coming back four years later,
I am struck by a scene OF con-
trast. The gay, noisy crowds on
the boulevards and the colorful
and attractive costumes on every
hand create the atmosphere OF a
gigantic picnic party.
We entered Paris through the
Bots De Boulognc, its beautiful
trees touched with the russell
tones of early fall. Soldiers
were bivouacking in the main
alleys and here and there the
eye caught sight of camouflaged
guns and tanks.
Driving down the Champs
Elysees in weapons carrier,
we were hailed by the Parisians
of "Vive rAmerique." l felt
proud of my American uniform.
Paris is practically unscathed
by war. Here and there in the
heart of the city you see traces
of street barricades and shatter-
ed windows, but the Tricolor
and Allied flags which have
lain hidden for four years await
ing the liberation fluttered gaily
in the bright August sunshine
and gave the impression the city
was enwrapped in a solid quilt
of red, white and blue. But
soon found out that underneath
the apparent color and warmth,
Paris is sad and careworn.
CHERISH FREEDOM
It seemed incredible that only
a few days ago, the Germans
still were here, but this is even
more incredible to the Parisians.
Everyone I met said the same
thing: Eve cannot yet believe
that at long last we are free,
