Gymnase In Paris: Alexandra fitienne Choron, director of a school of sacred music, was struck by their natural abilities and undertook to give them formal education in singing, but Rachel's voice was found to be deficient and in 1834 she was given, instead, the opportunity of studying for the stage. In 1837 she made her professional debut at the Gymnase in Paris and in 1838 joined the company of the Theatre Fran-cais, where she played Camille in Corneille's Horace and swiftly established her position as a tragedienne. After appearing, with increasing suecess, in other roles of the French classic repertory, she visited England in 1841 and 1842 and repeated her triumphs there. In 1855 she toured in the United States, where, due in part to the language barrier, her success was no more than moderate.
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.
