PARIS, Mar. 10.-24 hours
after Attorney General
Robert Kennedy and his wife
had left for New York, two
sisters of the President,
Patricia Lawford and Jean
Smith, arrived in the French
capital for a three-week
stay in France. Edward and
Joan Kennedy spent two days
in Paris towards the end of
February.
General Palmer, deputy to
the Commanding General of
the American forces in
Europe, General Norstad, was
decorated as commander of
the French Legion of Honour
by General Puget, head of
the General Staff for Ma
tional Defense. General Pal
mer will now settle down in
Washington, and be replaced
in Paris by General Earl
Wheeler.
Twist Still King
The twist is still king here.
Even the Duchess of Windsor,
whose age is said to be over
10, has been seen and photo
graphed dancing it. A group
Of students coming from well
known families are forming
an orchestra to play twist
music exclusively. The "Aris-
tocrats," as they call them
selves, are nevertheless con-
tinuing their studies offtime
one never knows! A serious
dancing school is teaching it
from 10 am. up till midnight:
From 10 to IL noon come the
doctors, lawyers, merchants,
wives of businessmen; from
IL to 2 pm. the saleSgirls
and employees, from 2 to 8
the students and workmen,
and from 8 to midnight the
diplomats, the singers and
actors! A new sandal by
Roger .Vivier has a special
heel called Twist" But four
new dances are bound to re-
place the simple twist: The
IN a S h ed potato" tn e
Chicken" the Madison" and
the "slop."
In Paris.
In Paris, two colored gloves,
to match the pocketbook and
the umbrella, are coming in
fashion as well as nighblue
underwear and very old fash
Toned, but real jewelry-
found at the flea market, in
antique shops on the left
bank or the best at small
country auctions. In Paris,
college girls have abandoned
the colored leotards with the
high heeled slipper and now
snatch their fathers black
socks to wear with tight
mocassins. A black velvet
bow over fluffy thick bangs
goes with this attire.
. In Paris. you can buy your
favorite movie star by the
yard: A boutique on the
Champs Elysees sells silk in
scarves or just plain fabric,
printed with the portrait of
well known actors or singers.
In Paris, the yearly exhibit
Of home appliances makes
everybody run to look for the
latest gadget from the in
dissoluble ice cube, the pot
cover strainer and the midget
vacuum cleaner-broom (for
So; to the latest refrigerator
with inbuilt freezer, quite a
novelty for the French.
Discussing ice boxes, every
body talks about the lawsuit
about the Frigidaire Bernard
Buffet once painted all over
for a benefit sale, and which
the new owner had cut up
IN parts and sold as pieces
Of art. The masterpiece is
the whole thing, says the
artist, and the discussion goes
on.
In Paris. that lavish en-
tertainment and luxurious
life is still in favor, even if
Its only through books Count
Alfred Potocki's "Chatelain
en- Pologne" is bound to be
3 beStseller. The author,
whose mother was a Princess
Radziwill, related to Mrs.
Kennedy'S brother in law,
describes the Gorgeous life in
once feudal Poland. His
book is as much appreciated
as the latest Erich Maria
Remarque, lie Ciel ma pas
de preferes" (Heaven Has No
, Favourites), a fascinating
story about an unconven-
tional couple, throwing their
money away as fast as their
lives. These for the mind.
For the body, America gets
its we'll deserved influence:
