Experiences of Two
Yankee Girls in Paris

show Ih Just now tho scheme for a sum- enn not bo accomplished comfortably In
mer excursion on which many an Amorl- less than four dnys oven by export riders,
can woman Is figuring; with diligence and but that tlmo spent In cycling through tlio
determination. Her proposition, In nlno fresh, bracing air makea It cask. to endure
later In tho city's heat or dust.
If tho party decide to take whcclii an cs
Hontlnl for tho success of these trips Is to
secure momberHhlp in tho Lcaguo of
American Wheelmen, a society with head
quarters In Iloston, Mass. An application
accompanied by $2 for initiation tea and
yearly dues, secures all tho privileges of
tho Cyclists Touring club of Kngland.
Tho C. T. C. card guarantees tho admis
sion of wheels nnywhero In France or Eng
land, with Invuluablo tourist's maps and
gulden for both countries. Transatlantic
faro for wheols should novor excco.l $1.G0,
and after registering them at the custom
house upon landing nil red tapo and ex
pense Is at an end.

Should a cycling trip bo agreed upon all
tho heavy luggage may bo shipped as
freight straight through to town and then
for four days of smart riding over tho most
beautiful high roads In tho world. From

this unusual combination of attractions on
an nllowanco that would just about buy

as this may sound, It she Is a woman to
whom friendly ndvico scut direct from
Paris makes any appeal, such an apparently
Impossible achlovomcnt can bo compassed
as easily as any ordinary vacation tour.
Paris Is a city whero there are at least
n05 nice, cheap ntiil Interesting methods of
living, and while It Is perfectly certain
that from tho 1st of May until tho 1st of
November tho hotels and boarding houses
will bo crowded at tho highest prices, this
need not In tho least dlscourago or debar
countloFH little groups of fcmlnlno ex
plorers from Invading tho gay capital and
seeing It nud Its exposition at their best.
To arrlvo at thin dcslrnblo end lot nny
woman or women, with Paris as an ob
jective point, remember that co-oporatlon
Is the secret of true economy and that
there Is strength In combination. To
travel u I one Is IhiUi costly and unsafo tor
femininity In Europe, but If an cntorprlslng
congenial minis to put Into a common fund
the amount of $2!0 each, there Is no reason
why tho resultant $1,000 should not carry
them triumphantly from Amorlca to Paris
for thirty days and homo again.

Ah tho statements mado nro all drawn
from actual and successful experience

No. 1 of expenso ltoms to bo consid

many good lines giving low rates that
carry their human frolght to various con
tinental ports, whenco It Ih posslblo to pro-
curato schedules of proper prices to pay for

chest of drawers, a mirror, a washstand and
appliances, four chairs, a big center table,
n rodeomlng strip of carpet for tho floor and
a curtain to draw across that corner of tho

A studio In tho Latin quartor, Its windows

mention economical, wny of lodging, Sho
goes at onco to housekeeping.
Out of tho 3G5 variations of domestic
economy it is nt onco tho lenst dear and
tho most amusing. In either tho Latin
quarter or tho lovely suburbs of Paris there
are rooms or studios to rent. Down in tho
region of tho Houlovnrd Montparna a
single largo studio big enough for all tho
temporary lares nnd penatcs of four women
can bu had for JIG a month, nnd out In such
Btiburbs ns Auteull, Neutlly and St. Denis a
hugo roof-lighted studio or coupo of
less expensive rooms can bo securod at
tho ennio rate. These aro barren enough
at first sight, but Paris Is blessed with
cheaper outsldo than Inside tho city limits.
Living In tho suburbs It Is easier to run
Into tho city by wheel than on any of tho
overcrowded accommodation lines and for
tho sum of 1 penny a blcyclo can bo stabled
safoly and conveniently in tho exposition's
environs.
CutcrliiLV on line Dollar u Day.
So much for lodging; now for board. Liv
ing In Paris Is not dear If fomlnlno wiles aro
practiced. To spend $1 a day on food Is an
ample allowanco for a hearty, healthy woman
If she goes catering In tho right directions.
Long ago the Amorlcan art student in tho
Latin quarter learnod that while coal,
wood, oil and gas aro all costly in this city
of pleasure, alcohol Is ono of tho cheapest
commodities. Henco theso Ynnkeo chafing
dishes throughout tho studio district as
well ns numorous little lamps designed for
heating cofteo, water, etc., ovor an alcohol
flamo. Let tho prospectlvo tourist then
take advantago of this dlscovory In domestic
economies and In tho steamer trunk a good
Americnn coffee pot and an up-to-dato
chafing dish will bo tho means of preparing
ns good a studio breakfast and supper as any
hungry traveler needs. Through previous
thrifty nrrnngemont with a neighboring
milk and butter merchant and bread man,
all theso clomcnts of a breakfast will bo left
outsldo tho studio door fresh overy morn
ing. Coffco and sugar nro both moro ex
pensive thnn In tho states and should be
used discreetly, yet for all that a meal of
hot coffee, rolls -and eggs can be had at 10
cents aploco for overy brcakfaster.
Piii-InIiiii HtitliiK I'Iiiccn.
It Is wisest and choapest for women
Interested In tho sights of Paris and mind
ful of their pockots to mako luncheon tho
great meal of tho day. For 2 francs each
and a tip of CO centimes to tho waitress it Is
easy in almost any part of Paris to buy an
oxcellent midday meat dinner. Thero aio
two ways of accomplishing this desirable
end. In tho fair grounds tho restaurants
will, perforce, charge royally, their space
being limited nnd costly, but in old Paris
thero aro many restaurant kitchens and
tiny luncheon parlors, kept by thrifty
French women.
Tho kitchens tempt thoso whoso appe
tites demand largo forago, for tho purchaser
Is entitled to go directly In whoro tho ranges
aro and select what sho wishes from tho
spits and pots. A ladlo full of soup from
tho big cauldron of broth, the socond Joint
and drumstick or breast of a chicken, a
helping of delicious beans from another pot
nnd n couplo of slices of bread with butter
will all bo dished out by tho white-capped
maid Just as tho purchaser directs and pre
fers. Add to this a steaming cup of freshly
mado coffco and tho odlbles can bo carried
away or devoured at a clean scrubbed tnble
In tho front of tho kltchon. To thoso hot
dishes tho diner can add a chocolato eclair
or tartlet, bought for 5 conts at tho pastry
cook's nenrby, a pleco of chceso from tho
grocery and at thoso fcltchons a tiny glass
xf good wlno or a mug of beer will bo
served.
Two francs, or 40 cents, can cover nearly
all theso oxtra items that go to mako a voiy
rounded llttlo dinner, while, If tho larder of
tho kltchon presents nothing to tho tnsto
of tho traveler who wishes something moro
conventional In tho serving nt least, nil tha
famous Duval restaurants aro at her com
maud.
Tlu IIIiIiiiiIioun DiiviiI.
Thero is not u district In now Pnrls that
does not boast ono of the3o ndmlrablo
restaurants, whero tho most tempting, whole
somo food Is daintily served by whito-capped,
iny-aproned, rosy maids and whero the
prices aro as low as is compatible with
wholesome, neatly served food. No mattor
whero you find yourself at midday, Inquire
nnd a gendarmo will point tho way to ono of
tho Duvals, In which Paris abounds. At a
Duval an Investment of 2 francs buys a
small steak, butter that is as sweet as
flowors, fresh bread, a cup of hot chocolate, a
saiau ana a spoonful of somo appetizing con
serve. Enough fuel, It would seem, for nny
woman to do a vast amount of sightseeing
work on.
Then If tho pangs of hunger assail In tho
long summer afternoon It Is easy to slip out
of tho plcturo gallery or museum nnd into
tho nenrest tea room, whero a cup of tea
ami a squaro of cako Is sold for 10 cents.
English influcnco has acclimatized tho after
noon tea In Paris, and weo parlors whero
it Is served aro met In nearly every well
known thoroughfare. If tea is not preferred
then thoro Is all out doors for a woman nnd
her companions to eat In, at ono of tho tables
In lows undor awnings along tho streets or
In tho shado of tho omnipresent spreading
horso chestnut tree, One woman would not
daro sit alono at n sidewalk table In Paris,
tiny though it might bo, and two Amorlcan
girls would perhaps feel awkward, but In
Tour a position of Impregnable dignity and
security Is gained and tho llttlo mnrblo
topped stand with Its painted Iron chairs,
Its glasses of foaming beer and thin chceso
or butter sandwiches Is nn Irresistible
temptation to tho travolers from tho states
