Paris July 19th. 1955-


Took a motor from a travel agency- after breakfast in
our fancy round sitting room. Drove all around Paris
the driver named Harvey had a daughter named
at Waycross Georgia. Went to Lubin's for perfume
(had the pink flannel affair that Harriet had
given me- REsented') Walked around the circle-Place
de Vendôme
To Caron, The Ritz Hotel, and a jeweler's
where I was intregued by a Jewelled bird. But did NOT
get it! To a very nice resturant in the Bois for lunch
Le Pre Catalan. Went then to both sides of the Seine
and got some little prints of Paris. R.R. station and
Tourist Agency reg. tickets. We had our evening meal
at the Bristol and then set out for the Casino de Paris.
Very amusing show- we stayed thro' half of it but felt
we needed sleep. Gail got a cab by her shrill whistle!
