William Jurian Kaula Diary<\/h2>\n\n\n\nNovember 14, 1897<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Our favorite resort for a square meal on Sunday nights is at the German restaurant at 37 Petites \u00c9curies – near the Grand Boulevard. It is a good two mile walk from the Montparnasse quarter and we always walk when together if the weather is good and there is plenty of time. This restaurant is remarkable for its quality of food and mostly for its low prices – most of the patrons are the German residents of Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The character of the place differs a little for the usual French restaurant and we always enjoy it for the sake of variety. There is a musician who plays upon a zither and who always favors us with a number of American airs the music of which were donated by Mr. Weyeth some two years ago. The said that the tunes did not take very well with the other patrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a good place for Munich beer – good beer is scarce in Paris so the boys fill up with enough to last a few days. I have had a very dry taste since I came abroad and in spite of my various attempts now and then to take a little drink of some kind, I find that I do not care for wines, liquors, beer, or any of the French concoctions. Thus my drinking expenses are reduced to a minimum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After dinner we usually occupy a table in front of some caf\u00e9 on the Boulevard and watch the passing multitude – The Boulevard has a different aspect at every hour of the day which is interesting, but on a Sunday evening the sidewalks are packed, the little tables in front of the caf\u00e9s are full, everybody appears to be sauntering along enjoying their leisure, except the vast army of vendors of newspapers, popular songs, toys, and flowers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The noise that they make is not exactly agreeable if heard alone but the confusion and bustle that is continually going on in the street deadens it into that joyous hum and maze that makes the Parisien happy when they go strolling into the jam on the Boulevard. One fakir in a tall hat placed a phonograph on a table in front of us and we listened to an announcement of a programme of the neighboring theatres. Another ingenious advertising scheme of another variety theatre is to have six or eight men dressed in long light overcoats and tall hats, and have them walk up and down the Boulevard with the crowds while they
shouted forth their announcements in unison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guides still take us for visitors in Paris in spite of the fact we know nearly everyone of them by previous encounters last winter and they do not seem to recollect the treatment we gave them. We had a bicycle ride in the Bois de Boulogne this afternoon as it was warm and fair.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bois was crowded, packed in fact, with so many cyclists and vehicles tht it took away most of the pleasure in trying to avoid collision. At one place in the Bois one can count 10,000 cyclists in a day. I suppose the policeman counted them as they are of little other use. Our party consisted of Misses Lufkin and Shuttleworth, Mor Corey, Mr. Cartwright and myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
