It was raining when we disembarked and were taken ashore by tugs, the ' harbor there is. much too small to' al low- the big liners to enter When the sun soon came out and "we had the . fun. ( ? ) o f going through the red tape o f the French customs and awaiting our turn te leave. There were special trains to take all passengers to Paris and, o f course, first and second class passengers were • first, We had nur first French meal On the train.- before we started at about one o'clock. . Before we took the train, our party was separated because part wore in ' Tour Four and part in Seven.' We have, passed like ships in 'the.dark ever since .then but have never met, hnd will not I suppose in ' all o f onr travels. I am sorry fo r we miss Ruth , so', , » - > " - Qiu- journey to Paris was a thing o f complete beauty. That section was untouched by the war and hence re tains all the lovlirtess that age gives to the' villages and farm houses set in the most, beautifully kept o f high Walled flower,gardens. The. low, ram bling stone houses with the red and. brown o f their thatched and tilM roofs all cluster about a huge Gothic cathedral that is.perfect in ibs beauty o f spires and ornamentations in con trast with the simplicity o f the ham let itself. There “had. been much rain through that region so tha t the fields, were at their most beautiful. There is not a •fence in France with the- exception o f the high stone walls which surround ■almost every house and practically hide, it from view in the roadside, o f-th e k which are trimmed 3 o that ; there Is merely a tu ft o f branches at the very - top Which will mimminze the shade on the crops but act as a Foundry line Und yield timber as “well as much 'bodUty to the landscape. Almost every roadside is lined with trees, o f this type, often two rows on either side making a perfect vista as one rides along under them.’ . ^The crops ore planted in a sort o f hit arid miS 3 fashion, in little oblongs or squares not much wider than a broad roadway. This gives the land scape the aspect o f a huge patch work quilt in. shades <£ .brown and green. A ll this gives to the country a unique appearance which one would not one minute mistake o f America. The pop py Of “ Flanders Fields” grows in pro lusion where ever it can get a root hold. A field o f ripening wheat literally filled with the brilliant red of the,pop py and. the blue o f the corn flowers which always grow near them, is one o f the -most beautiful things I have ever seen; although I,suppose they are the bane o f the poor French fa r mer's existence. We rode all, afternoon through this lovely country and arrived at Paris just at sunset, I have seen somewhere , o r been told that the most perfect lime to enter Paris is at sunset and I agree with him who said it. To have a first glimpse o f the "Champs Elysce and the Arch o f Triumph, with the setting sun behind it is almost worth the Whole journey. We were thrilled o f course as We had been all o f the afternoon but We had not expected a city o f such per fect beauty. There are no ugly spots #V / a y O v m v d ^ i t J n • # !

It was not nearly so nice as to food and accomodations 'but Betty and I Were rather glad fo r after all we were out gathering atmosphere and impressions and knowledge of customs, and it is just another ex perience which is different from the average. Then its position in the Lat in quarter fascinated us, It was just two blocks from, the cafe Do Dome, most habituated b y the art students o f Paris and there were many inter esting little curio and art shops in the neighborhood. I t was situated at ICO Rue Rue Vangirard, one o f the main streets o f that region, making it always easy to get back. . Guv first' experience with French food had been on the diner at Cher bourg, From -that we had a- very fav orable impression. Our dinner at the Cafe, where We stayed was algo very enjoyable. The, meals there were much plainer than'the fare a t the other hotels and places where we ate on our trip, but they were wholesome and well cooked, giving us a splendid idea o f what the Average Frenchman cats. For breakfast one never has any thing but coffee Or chocolate and bread-(Lunch is a succession o f some three to "seven courses according, to thp pretentions o f the establishment and thq same is true o f dinner. But ter is never served except to Amer icans at any meal butibreakfast and when'rib comfes. it is in funny little curled up strips. Our. greatest diffi culty has been to get butter and wat er with our jmeals. On the diners find in some hotels the only water avail able is bottled and must be purchased.

On the night Of our arrival Wp took a Walk o f several blocks in the neigh borhood before going ’ to bed. We touldn’fc see going to bed calmly at; 9;30 on our first night in Paris. We were, thrilled to find it much as we had imagined it would be. The men v,'Caring the very 'broad brimmed black fe lt hats and flowing tics and carrying a stick. The first thing we noticed were men and girls walking everywhhere with their arms around one another, stopping to kiss ode an other in tlio safety zones o f the street corners and along to sidewalk. The streets are narrow and crooked and all the buildings right at the side walk adge. I f there is any garden it is in a court around which the hofise, o r stores are built. On every comer there is a cafe with chairs and tables on the street where the Parisian sits by the house a t the dinner or lunch hour or later at night, drinking his wine. Every one drinks but no one is drunk in Paris. The chairs and tables at these places are gnyly painted, there is an aWning shading them and potted palms screen the more sdect o f them, from view. Everyone who eats out-in Paris, eats out o f doors seemingly. Wednesday morning the Franco- Relgique Company, o f which onr tour is a part sent huge motor busses and guides to take Us about the city. They showed up in a rapid mariner the whole o f the city, the principal streets and shopping districts, and the Cath edrals o f Lacre Cour, Notre Dame, St. Cliapelle, which has by the way the most beautiful o f all Gothic windows. I m ver shall forget the wonderful col or effects on the interior as the light cftriie through the beautiful rich reds and blues o f the glass. St. Chapclle is the oldest o f the Paris churches and the most beautiful, although the smal lest, During the revolution it was us ed as a storehouse and half o f the Win (lows were destroyed. They have been restored but masses are not held there now, it is merely a monument o f great beauty, We saw o f course the tomb o f Na poleon, the Capitol buildings o f Senate and House Of Deputies, the Eiffel tower and the beautiful assembly hall which faces it, the Arch o f Triumph, under which is now buried one of France’s unknown soldiers, th# place de La Concorde where all o f the gnil- Ioting took place during theh revolu tion, the place o f the BaetHe, and we crossed and recrossed the beautiful The Clifton United Presbyterian congregation will celebrate ita 75th anniversary starting with a program today, Friday, and continuing Satur day and Sabbath, August 15 and 10 .
