Moderne In Paris: At the time of my most recent incursion into this great building one wing was devoted to showings of the Surind6pendants, presented by the perpetrators themselves, and across the street, in the Musee Galliera, was an exposition of the stary but comprehensible works of the late Darel.

The Selective Shopper on the Prowl Paris is a shopper's heaven, especially if the shopper is on the distaff side. It is an expensive heaven, in these days, notably excepting perfumes, which are far cheaper in Paris than in America, but the cost doesn't seem to frighten tourists away. Paris est toujours Paris.
Some Nuggets of Fact The Paris busses stop running, in most cases* about 9 P. M., the Metro at about 12:30 A. M. and Paris taxis may legally charge double fare after 11 p. M. A transportation map of Paris is invaluable, and the price of one, at any kiosk, is only a few cents. |
