\ THE OMINECA HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1926 Rey. T. D. Proctor Writes * _ Of His Big Trip to Europe! se The Mission House Hozelton, B.C. . Bastille Day, July 14, came. all too son, ‘This called for tour f the batle- fields, chiefly American section’ from Paris to Claye, Meaux, Chambry, Var- reddes, Sur-ource, Lizy, Cocherel,Mon- trevil-aux-Ioons, Lucy-le-Bocage, Torov Bellean, Bopresches, Chatteau-thierry, : Charly, La Faferte, Meaux-Wood. I will not say very much about this part of my trip because many desire to for- set, bué I must say tha it is nearly all elenred and under cultivation, and with good motor roads. A few trenches and dlugouts are left,ns reminders and thou- sands of rosses in the Iloly. acres re- Served for the same, after dinner the evening being free many desired to see the real lite of Par- ix which was to b seen ‘at the Follies where a wonderful program was put on from $8.20 until 12.30. Special pro- grains being put on for the benefit of the American tourists. There were G7 follies deeked in the most gorgeous costumes, changing no Jess than 20 _times during the evening. A costnmier in the party figured that.the costumes cost mor than $1,250,000,in whieh they did uative and Oviental dances, sing- ing and-acting. All dgreed that it- was a first class entertainment, and I sug- gest that you do uot Hsten to Lbeaple who have never been to Paris. But if you ever get the opportunity go and Fourth Instalment see for yourself and you will be filled with worder and amazement. The French people are excitable and were more so at this thne for reasons al- reidy mentioned and also because the frane was at its lowest, Prices were changing twice a day at 9.30 and 5 p. m. If you got on a street er or taxi you diin’t know how fur you were go- ing lefore they collected gain. In the morning you might go ten blocks fur ten centimes and hy night you could go only five. The goods in the shops were not priced and they would haye to en-: quire the rate of exchange before they could sell. On two of. the days we! were in Paris there was a free for all fight in The House on aceount of men renlizing that their wealth was slip- ping from them, » What then could one expect from fhe poorer classes who. had done their noble part in the war und were now pennless owing to the rate of exchange which they could not control LTmngine awakening tomor row morning and finding that your $100.00 was only worth 10 cents. This lead-to the great demands for tips which was the busbear of all our- ists. Imegine, tipping eight people hefore. yon could get into a theatre— the elevator politely bows and aks you for a tip, nex the hall boy eas for a taxi and asks you fora tip, You have alrendy paid five frenes extra for a ticket for a sent, as all ticke sellers have hought in the seats to sell at any figure they eate to ask. You pay for your taxi and the driver asks you for a. tip, While you are paying him some- one ha’ pened the“car door nd als for a ip, at the theatre door some one takes .you to the office o exchange your tick- et for a seat ticket and -le likewise makes the same request, the one at the office the same way. You are now pas- sel ou to another official who leads you through the hall and hands you quest. Next you are really taken ta over to some.one else with the same re- your seat, but the same hting again. Then comes the program seller, you pay for your program and the same thing again, If you wan to avoid rtouble you must tip freely. Having been lewd in you can find, your way out for they think that all your money. ix you £o to Parts, take lots of money for they need it and mean o have it, Now you know why it was in the papers about the riots with the Amerieyn tont- istsists, ; Let us try to imagine now that we are Visithy: the French city of Ver sailles.. The first places we visited were, The Palace of Varsnilles and the Paluee of Manuvers. The first things of interest were, the g1m which fired a shot 62 miles in the great war sud the Zepperlin whieh was brought down ov- er the palace, We then visited the chapel which was wondrfully artistic and it was surrnnded by statutes, It was built in 1649 - The ceilings ave most heantifully painted, the work of Lefayeite and two others. .
