VAGUE NATIONALITIES DRIFT
THROUGH GAY LIFE OF PARIS
'PARIS, Jan. 20.—Turning away
from hiis hotel with a few hours of
idle lime ‘at his disposal, the visi
tor in Paris who seeks the show
windows of the life of the capital
will, witnin a few blocks, find what
he is looking for in one of the many
establishments which the French call
“dancings.” The mo~t popular places
number at least a dozen. They are
small tea and supper rooms. A
pompous and uniformed man is on
duty at the street door, but the place
•itself is like as not tucked away
on an tipper floor away from the
noise of the street.
The world passes through these
places, but America furnishes the
nucleus of ithe stock companies and
the audience that stage a constantly
shifting show’. Half the people pres
ent have come to dance, the others
to watch and to talk, and to make
new friends.
No Fashion Parade
'Fashion does not parade the
streets in Paris. New gowns arei
not 30t-n on the rue de lu PaJx as
they may be on the "Main Streets '|
[of America. Many of them appear!
en models at the races, on the stage. ■
and to a less extent in theater audi
cnees but the tourist sees more of |
the dressmakers and the milliner’s j
work at the tea tables or in night |
cafes than at all the other “peacock
alleys” to which the visitor has I
access. I
American jazz bands, or "m ister-j
jet' syncopation," still predominate at)
| the “dancings,” but they are being |
! Frenchified. American music ranks j
'as the best for dancing, hut Ameri
icans abreast of the times at hom-j
j sometimes notice music tbev firs; i
1 heard several years ago on the other!
j side.

“Alaska fish must be protected, un
less we are to lose one of our most
valuable industries.

many of Alaska's problems. Capital
and development in the interior must
precede the influx of settlers.
“Some of the best grain lands in
the world are near Fairbanks and
it is only a question of transporta
tion for crops. Until this country is
popu'ated. great mine developments
await construction of adequate trans
portation.”
