"TH WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1919 DESCRIBES BEAUTIFUL SOUTHERN FRANCE (Continued from Page One) wash bowls, etc. Paid 36 francs ($7) a day with meals, (3) and good big ones, too, for two of us. They treated us like kings the entire time. We rode all over town in these "fiacres." along beautiful promenades, with the wide streets, sidewaiks, big trees and Mediterranean on one side, and the large stately looking hotels and residences, with their gardens of Palm trees and olive trees on the other side. The climate was of the best, bright, clear and warm, with a touch of laziness in the air. With the wonderful climate, beautiful location and marvelous surroundings of ar- tificial and natural beauty, it was no wonder that it seemed like Fairyland, and filled us with a happiness, con- tent and romantic feeling, that made life worth living, after our existence in the mud. rain, fog and cold clam- my climate of Picardy. How I thought of you all, folks. and many times a day I longed to have you with me, to enjoy. the beautiful romance of the place. Some day I hope to take you all there and give you as wonderful a trip as I had. We returned from Nice on the Sth, and arrived in Paris Sunday evening, the 10th. the day before the armis- tice. was signed. We hustled right over to my favorite hotel, the "Grand Hotel De Louvre," which faces and looks up the beautiful wide boule- vard de L'Opera to the magnificent opera building at the other end of the half mile street. Eve of Armistice Day Sunday evening, after getting a fine front room, the last they had, we drove over to the "Folies Bergere" and saw a swell musical comedy. This is a very famous theater and is known the world over for its beauti- ful promenade and garden where the atmosphere is entirely Bohemian, and where the beauty of the world gathers to, enjoy life. This night, on the evening of the signing of the armistice, it was a lively place, and a wild bunch of variously assort- ed people. class, color, creed and customs proceeded to have a good time and forget the war. Monday morning the 11th, we awoke about nine, breakfasted in bed. rose. shzved, bathed and stepped out on the boulevard, into an ex- pectant and excited crowd, for re- member, in an hour the news of the signing of the armistice was to be made public. We walked up the boulevard de L'Opera, turned to the right and went down the boulevard Des Italien with its many beautiful shops and stores. As we were wind- ing our way slowly through the crowds, we noticed that everybody was excited and jabbering to their companions. There was such an air of mystery that our curiosity was aroused, and we inquired. of passes by the meaning of all the excitement and. confidential attitude of the 1 aress people. We coudn't understand it. | for we were looked at constantly,| with the beautiful stare the French] have which makes you feel as though | thev just love vou, and want to eat | vou up and hug you to death, to] show their depth of feeling.

But when they did compre' the full meaning of the signing of the armistice, oh, my, oh my, they sure did cut lcose and opened up| vith the biggest barrage of noise hat I ever hope to hear. The people | fnerally went mad, absolutely crazy with joy. Anyone could start a] yarnde and all you needed was a| uniform and flag.

And this distinction extends beyond appearance; it includes seating arrangement and performance. * The Franklin Four-Passenger Roadster is trim in 'design and especially well-proportioned. The convenienc> of its arrangement allows each passenger a real seat--not = make- shift. There's not that disagreeable effect of being huddled together or appearing cramped. It's the easiest car to ride in we know of, and its respon- siveness is a natural result of Franklin Scientific Light Weight and Flexible Construction. An all-day run in the Franklin leaves you as fresh as when you started. And, of course, Franklin Economy is included. Four- Passenger Roadsters are regularly delivering-- 20 Miles to the gallon of gasoline-- instead of 10. 10,000 Miles to the set of tires--instead of 5,000. Economy like that is unusual in the fine car field. But the Franklin Four-Passenger Roadster 1s an wnusual car. * dd * Eighteen | Months The \Master \Producer's in Master the Production Making Sweetest Love Story Ever Told The Greatest Spectacle Ever Concewed Created on the Battlefields of France | ~ Prices: Nights, 75¢c and $1.00.
