7 raveIer's NJ otebook

hotels are good and smartly run,
the food of either American or
Italian variety is first class, the
sightseeing attractions are Sec
ond to none in the world, even
tired old Ciampino Airport has
had a ace-liftlng and the shop
ping is second, if at all. only to
Paris.
Silks, for example, are cheaper
than in Paris and certainly as
good; leather goods are likewise
attractive, so is silver and the old
man should always buy a Bor-
saline hat. They cost about 81 in
Rome and about $25 in our coun-
try. Also, they roll up and don't
overcrowd your luggage.
AS always, Paris is the queen
in classic manner of Europe's S
cities-its avenues broader, it's
traffic noisier and more confused,
its food finer cooked, it's shops
more varied in content and higher
on the average in quality. its peo-
pie at once more casual and more
excited and its women more
glamorous.
Paris is one of the cities where
shopping with travellers checks
saves money but the franc is well
stabilized at 346 to the dollar and
your hotel will give you just as
good a rate as the next place.
A satisfying experience in
Partisan atmosphere is to walk
out on the brightly lighted Troca-
dero on soft evening and listen
to a little bereted man play soul
full music on a violin while you
count the lights on the Eiffel
Tower and watch the Seine me-
ander slowly by at your feet. The
high spots of Partisan night life
are all they ever were, which is
plenty. Taxis are the cheapest of
all commodities in Paris, as in
most European cities.
X
Try Shannon Briefly. Almost
any hole in the wall is delight
full restaurant in Paris, few of
them crowded and all of them
intimate in character. Milady's
gloves. purses and hats are prob
ably the best and easiest shop
ping attractions, and try the long
arcade of little stores along the
Rue de Rivoli before making the
big plunge into a top bracket shop
like Hermes.
If, by any chance, you want
some linens or a few woolens
which were not found in London
take plane that refuels at Shan
non, Ireland. At the personal
suggestion of ECA Administrator
Paul Hoffman, the Airport Shop
is open "a hours daily. Dollars
and British pounds are good cur
rency and there is always that
beaten-up book of travellers
t checks.
1t is a good idea if you still
have the check list you started
with in Washington to turn the
next page into listing of pur-
chases abroad. 1t makes it easy
when you sit back in your flying
machine between Gander and New
York to fill out the customs
declaration.
And don't be afraid of the Gus
toms men. Give them an honest
count; they're really not shooting
touristS-or even newspapermen

Chess Notes
BY Donald H. Muoridqe

In the District League, the
Naval Communications team has
rung up a second one-sided victory
against the usually powerful op-
position of the Bald Eagle Club.
The winners scored 1914 points in
a 16-board match, and six of the
Navcom players have scored two
points out of two starts. The
match was notable for the first
appearance in several years of
Walter Jacobs. a very strong play
er as well as problem composer
Iof international fame. Russell
Chauvenet, Secretary of the Nav
com organization. writes that
special meetings are being held on
the problem of how to run up
bigger and better scores, and ad-
mits that he enjoys playing on a
potentially championship team!

Nellie. small flop-eared mongrel
who has been the horses mascot
for many months. The horses
trainer told me that the dog was
responsible for much of Hill
Princes success on the racing
track. He claimed that the little
dog quieted the high-strung race

racing form, I noticed many other
dogs throughout the stables.

beneficial to his health, while
those he might gnaw off a rubber

An old alarm clock is q handy
gadget to have around If you are
buying a new puppy. Here's why:
One of the most disconcerting
times a dog owner has is the first
night he brings q newly-acquired
puppy into his home. Everything
is strange to the little dog. He
misses his little mates. He's lone
some. So the chances are he will
cry and howl most of the first
night in his new home.
Now here is where the old alarm
clock comes in handy. Take the
udest-ticking one in the house
and place it beside the pups new
bed or sleeping quarters. The loud
ticking Of the clock is company
for the pup and it will keep him
quiet.
