PARIS. - With the Easter

the Paris travel agencies
plunge into frantic activity.
But this year there is some
thing different: For the first
time a new destination in

traveller to visit a fascinat-

States.
Last week pretty sandwich
girls were walking up and
down the Champs Elysees,
stopping in front of the ia

carrying huge posters with
inviting pictures of the main
American tourist attractions.
The official American tour
iSt office in Paris has done
a good job - the customers
are interested. And since the
United States entry visa can
be delivered in 20 minutes
and a two-way airplane tick

What they will like: The
facilities to rent a car, the
cheap gasoline (only 40 per
cent of the French price,,
the real drugstores, the free
visit to all the museums, even
the White House, the breath
taking beauty of the Grand
Canyon and the fascination
of New York. :.
What they will find funny:
The freedom of the Ameri-
can children, that with every
simple meal coffee is served
instead of wine, that nobody
cleans shoes outside a hotel
room door, that motels are
to be paid in advance, that
picnic tables with barbecues
are provided all over the
country but that it is diff
cult to stop and sit down
among nature elsewhere.
What they will hate: The
traffic on the highways. The

drive a car like a train en-

and not their impulse.
But they will come. And
after having visited this
country. they may finally
agree to send their son or
daughter over the ocean for
a year and accept an Ameri-
can student as an exchange.
Up to now the American

only little success in France,

often to have a permanent

Waiting
Meanwhile Paris waits for
the first American tourists.
They should be a little
scarce this year. not want
ing to spend too much money
abroad or fearing political
troubles in France. Those
who will come will be sur
prised. They will find Paris
beautifully dressed in its first
blossoms. This years late
spring is giving the city its
famous Air de Printemps"
just for the Easter season.
They will find the city calm
and hospitable. Having come,
they will find that political
troubles are always magni-
fled at a distance. Being
fewer. they will easily find
rooms in the hotels and be
treated like kings.
In the country, especially
in the Loire Valley, they will
find several historical castles
transformed into comforta-
BILE hotels and with the Eas-
ter holidays most of the big
"chateaux" begin their won-

During Easter week an
American in Paris should not
miss visiting the beautiful

and the exclusive exhibition
of primitive art from the re-

heart of Africa in the Grand

James Polk, according to
Ladies of the White House"
(1872), by Laura Carter Hol-

pany sitting down.
I take issue with Mrs.
Shaw that the handShake
means so very much to ev-
erybody." After canvassing
lawmakers and their wives,
both last year, when Mrs.
Kennedy abolished the re-
ceiving line, and again this
year, I find that the only
people who regret the change
are those who never waited
an hour to go through the
ceremony. In short, only the
newcomers to Washington
who have never shaken the
hand of the President and
First Lady and who appar-
emily had no idea how sim
pie it was to place them
selves in the KennedyS' route
as they circled the entire
main floor of the White
House that evening - were
disappointed that each per-
son was not received indi-
vidually.
OF the old system of lin
ing up in the East Room
and waiting, a Republican
Senator's wife who attended
Mrs. RuSk's coffee had this
to say: You couldn't do
anything but stand and wait
and wait. You couldn't even
move around and talk to
people. You had to remain
in line and it took practically
all evening just to get
through it, and frankly that
is not my idea of having an
enjoyable evening" AS it was,
she said, 1T was a fun party.
Everyone seemed to be en-
joying themselves" And un-
filled by tired waiting guests,
the East Room could be used
for dancing from the outset
of the party until the end,
making it far more attrac-
tive.
SAID A DEMOCRATIC
SENATOR'S WIFE, II like
not having a receiving line.
Those waits were horrible!
You shook the hand, were
out and that was that. What
if they don't shake the PreSi-
dents hand? They are still in
the White House and are still
his guests. My husband and
1 definitely prefer the new
method. We enjoy the par
ties more than we used to.
And everybody I have talked
to in the Senate and House
likes it the new way. Having
seen the Kennedys m any
times we naturally do not
push ourselves up to greet
them. Those of us who have
been around here for a long
time do not care if we shake
hands. But I can see why
the newcomers would want
to-"
Whereupon she came up
with a solution to the prob
lem of pleasing all the peo-
pie who have been there be-
fore and all the newcomers
as we'll.
They could have the new
Senators and Congressman
gather in one room where
aides could see that each was
introduced to their hosts for
the first time. After that
they could mingle with the
others as they have been do
ing. That way everybody
would be happyl"
