Lived In Paris: I would stress this last point, for when, in these days, any traveler, including myself, bemoans the high cost of London or Paris or Rome, he, or I, is comparing these costs not with what opposite-number costs would be in New York or Chicago or California or Florida but with what such costs were in the halcyon pre-war days of Europe. In other words, Europe is still and always a good bit less expensive, all along the line, than America. If travelers would recognize and admit this to themselves it would reduce this grousing quotient 50 per cent. I know thjs because I find it harder than most travelers to reconcile myself, for instance, to the high cost of Paris. For nearly four years, between wars, I lived in paris intermittently in Paris with my family.
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.
