PARIS STILL GAY, STYLE
CAPITAL OF WORLD SAYS
LEXINGTON SOLDIER
From somewhere in France, Lew
Evans writes his impressions of that
country in a letter to his father, E.
J. Evans of Lexington. Dated Oct.
21, he writes:
It has been quite a while since I
have written but we have been ra
ther busy. We have moved to
France and had to got set up. We
are fairly comfortable now, in a
tent with plank floor, cots, a stove
even electric lights which some
limes work, a little. It is a good
thing we got set up after a short
time as it has been raining stead
ily and the place is a sea of mud.
I got to make a trip to Paris re
cently. This is a very modem and
beautiful city, and still, after four
years of occupation, the style cen
ter of the world. There is quite a
bit of expensive, beautiful, high
quality merchandise in the shops. I
bought a few things for Marian for
Christmas.
The French people suffered dur
ing the occupation and I have heard
many atrocious stories reiterated. A
majority of families have lost a
member or two, either killed or
sent into Germany for forced labor.
The Jews were treated particularly
bad. But in spite of this, they are
friendly, well dressed and gay. Pa
ris i in direct contrast to dowdy,
shabby London. The standard of
living of French people seems equal
to ours, although there is a large
peasant class which seems very
poor. But the Parisians are immacu
lately dressed and look very nice.
Women in the U. S. would have to
fix up to compete with them. Pric
es are high, but the French seem
to have plenty of money. There are
a few scarcities, such as cigarettes
and gasoline, but it is not that the
people cannot afford these things,
rather they just are unobtainable r
It looks as though the war is go
ing to last longer and be tougher
going than wlas first thought. The
Germans seem to be full of fight
yet; and, during the advance
through France, the French organ
ization did invaluable service. Of
course we don't have that advan
tage now. Also the weather works
against us now.
So I don't know when I'll get
home. Of course I am pretty anx
ious it seems that I have been
here for years and years but I
hope it is soon.
Goodbye for now.
write again soon.
