Dear Ruth:
It is difIicult for me to say
just how much you and this
boy should spend on your
Christmas presents. A lot de-
pends on how long you have
known each other and how long
you have been dating. Ofhand.
I would say not more than $40
and not much less would be
preferable.
Every year about this time I
receive many letters from teen
ayers asking what to give a girl.

1t is not wise or in good taste

day, with all the decorations
and tributes in place. people
began to catch the spirit, to
tour the toyn to see what this
or that store had done with its
noted windows, or what had
been done to spruce up this or
that well-known Landmark.
Even at the height of the
visit crowds were never too
dense to impede a good view
and this may be because TV
here was at last brought into
its own, or because Paris ave-
nues are SO spacious. Either
via T'V or with our very own
eyes we saw the normally
splendid monuments and sights
we live with day after day
take on an emotionally dey-
astating magniflcence. Surely
no other capital of the
world, not even Rome. can
boast such an architectural
background for a Queen as
can Paris. When she fioated
down the Seine for the fabu-
lous pageant offered her along
its banks, only the modern
motors propelling her and the
electric lights Illuminating her
would have been anachronisms

to the Queens presence. It
caused some surprises: Chill
can copper millionaire Arturo
Lopez was out; Mexican silver
millionaire Charles de Bestegui
was in. The entire Rothschild
clan was invited except for the
head Of the house who was di-
vorced a few weeks ago.
The widow of dress designer
Jacques Faith was in; Christian
Dior, who's never been mar
ried, was out. Jean Cocteau
was Invited. Maurice Cheval-
ier. IS. was not. He commented
Perhaps ! am too old"
This visit was so much an
ticipated here that TV
showed the radar track Of the
Queens plane as it approached
Paris. Oddly in this day of
democracy the comings and
goings of titled ladies. prefer
ably highly titled, is Of in
creasing rather than decreas-
ing interest.
A poll taken all over the
continent recently asked for
q choice Of the worlds three
most attractive women. Every
beautiful woman you can
think Of was in the running
and three princesses won.
They were Margaret Of Eng
land. Alexandra of Kent, and
Grace of Monaco.
In Switzerland. the worlds
oldest democracy. the weekly
magazines have discovered
they can double circulation by
running picture stories Of the
British Royal Family. They're
so popular here that the lady
Communist deputy who spoke
against the royal visit In the
National Assembly was caught
in the act Of having her TV
set put in perfect shape 90 as
not to miss q thing.
Took Time Mounting
Actually. enthusiasm for the
event took its time mounting.
The British were far more
excited in advance. In Paris.
right up until the weekend
before the arrival, most Pari-
slams took it in stride. Those

a confectioner's paradise; but
here it's almost as amusing for
grown-ups as for children.
Easter egg hunts are few and
Easter parades Of new spring
clothes are practically un-'
known, although most women
resist wearing spring bonnets
until after Easter.
No Wide Brims
A more fixed fashion rule in
Paris DEGREES no wide-brim
straw hats until after The
PentecoSt which follows East
er by 40 days. Easter Dummies
are not much in demand
either: instead, French chill
dren learn to expect chocolate
eggs and chocolate chickens.
Chocolate bells, representing
the church bells that have sup
posedly flown to Rome. re-
manned all through Lent at st.
Peters. and come home again
only Easter morning. are also
French specialties. In larger.
more ornate versions all these
things are available for presen-
tatinn to lady loves and some

side for haubles like diamond
bracelets.
The Romans. are perhaps
greater specialists at making
Easter appeals to adults than
are the French. They are. in
the first place. more pious than
the Parisians so they would
seem to have greater right
to making a big thing of Eas-
ter's lighter aspects as we'll. In
Rome, for instance, you can
order a chocolate egg large
enough to hide a motor scooter.
Roman Lambs
The most enchanting and
most typically Roman Easter
sweet is the reproduction Of a
Sicilian lamb in hand-painted
marzipan: delightful. even If
you can't stand marzipan. The
expressions on their faces are
as pink and touching as those
on the faces of the legions of
little English school boys who
invade Paris at this time. Rome
seldom gets them: it's too far,
so Paris has become the tradi-
tional Easter treat Of the WELL
bred public school boy.
It's often the beginning of
many trips he'll make in his
life; quite definitely 1t will
stand as the tamest. Today he
sips citron presse as he rests
from touring the museums and
monuments: tomorrow he'll
move on to the more sophisti-
Gated Paris offerings. Today
he wears blazer and cap in his
school colors: tomorrow he'll
be just as recognizably English
in his "old school tie"
But even II he forgets the
tie we'll know he's English not
necessarily by the way his
hair is cut but by the way 1t
grows: not necessarily by the
cut Of his clothes but by the
cut Of his jib, you might say.
He needn't open his mouth
and let all the accent fall
forth. Wen know him by his
complexion.
The Queens Visit
Nothing can be perfect, alas,
and it must be said that the
French Government did their
level best to see that Queen
Elizabeth wouldn't be offended
during her visit. No divorces
and no divorces were invited
