Halls Of Paris: Music flourishes mightily in Paris, not to mention provincial specialties such as the Casals Festival at Prades. I can think of no other city where four first-rate, if not supremely great, orchestras can present concerts of symphonic quality at the same hour, on Sunday afternoons, and fill four great halls of paris-at popular prices. (The gallery gods know good music. They care a great deal, and very vocally too, that high standards shall be maintained. )
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.
