Maxim's before the war, but / am
told he Is missed and no one
seems to know his whereabouts.
Anyway, even without Albert,
this restaurant has the best legiti-
mate food in Paris.
There is not any kind of night
life here. Almost every club has
been closed Ono of the few pri-
vate clubs still open is called THE
Forty-Five." 1t is very hard 10
get into.
The French decor in this room
is excellent and the people are
the most attractive you will find
in Paris night life at the moment.
You see well-groomed chic
Partisan women there and, believe
me, that is rare these days.

Detroit evening times., 1945-03-05
FLOWERS WITHER

The flowers are pretty but one
can See-they are not as fresh as
they should be. The reason for
this is that the owners walk
miles in the early hours OF the
morning to bring their flowers to
Paris so by noon their wares look
bit tired.
However, il is spring ard one
must have flowers in spring so
one buys them.
A large play park here is named
Luna" 1 am told our famous
Luna Park in America is named
after this.
This playground is open the
first time in four years,
The parks are beginning to turn

There are also scores of small
children riding ponies in the
bride paths.
The French have way OF
laughing that no other nationality
has. They giggle and seem shy and
no matter what the age, it is al
ways charming.
RITZ STILL HANGOUT
The Ritz Hotel, for years rem
devious of-many- Americans on
Paris holidays in peacetime, Is
still a hangout for them.
The Place Vendome side has
been taken over by high-ranking
officers of the American forces.
The Cambon side, where the fa-
nous Ritz bar is located, is still
open TO civilians.
The tea hour, which Is held ir
the lobby between the Place
Vendome side and the Cambor
side. is the busiest and most
crowded place that I have ever
seen.
Unlike the tea hour in some
places, this tea room has just al
many women as men. / was
given the reason for this by 4
lovely French girl, who said:
"You women In America go
of to have lunch and tea just
like a bunch OF girls. We French
never have done this. We just
do not enjoy anything without
our men and our men have
never allowed us those privi-
leges OF freedom that you
women enjoy. They do not be-
lieve IL Is proper for lady to

DANCING PROHIBITED

do not understand why, but
dancing has been prohibited and
made against the law here.
II is tough for the GI's in Paris
on their 48-hour leave as most
have never been in Paris before
and probably will never come
again. They have been in fox
holes so lorx and would like a
little bit OF relaxation while on
leave.
The boys do not know any
French people who could enter
tain them and they would like 10
have few nice restaurants await

dine and dance. All of the young

pretty girl certainly cannot be
wrong and II would mean so much
