PARTIES IN MONTMARTRE NIGHT CLUBS EXPENSIVE, SAYS REPORTE1 BY BASH, WOON -Auihor of "The Paris You DVt in the Guide Books." Exclusive Dispatch, Copyright. 1927. PA1WS, gave a party last night. It is worth recording, because While I frequently am AT parties, seldom give Uieni. The fact of the matter is that they are too expensive.

For It is impossible to LIVE in PAJUS and CO PA3US at tthe same time. That is the secret of living here. Not only your hut your health go awry unless you listen to that adagtt. i Cliacun a Son Gout, Most of my friends here have aomo recipe of their own for standing the pace of (he ftiatest capital on earth. Bob Lloyd, for instance, never goes out at night except to a.

movie. He gets his tfcrills in lha day-time. I told Henry Wales the othsr day that I. managed to keep lialf- vfay fit by spending two early hours each morning on a lior.se. And ft was then I discovered that "Hank" (rjj ho is 'Known to Raymond Poinoare, Lloyd George, Dud Malono and the correspondent boly in Paris) toei a daily workout in gymnasium of to; Sporting Club of France, followed by a half-miJe swim.

But Warlburg says that after breakfast his ability to paint is gone. The Evening Starts.

But' I was speaking about my party. I had a definite reason Tor mentioning it, I wanted to tell you just how much such an evening costs in Paris. We began at. Giro's. We had an average meal witfi whito and red wine and champagne.

There were five of us, nntl we danced until just after midnight At tho next table waH a duke and at the one further Nita Naldi, -who is not so slender as sho was. Movie queens, gigolos and millionaires filled tho rest of (Sic big room. Giro's were moderate and oharg- ed coJy sixty dollars. For that price one could have procured ifh tho Same dinner in New York, including tho wines. Not So At That, Then we went to ICie Pcrroqubt, which was very fimart because it was the opening nighb of the new Ikyue i.n fee Casino dc Paris downtairs.

Almost the fi-rst face I recognized was Marsh, sitting with Harry Arnold, the Paris realtor. It was the first time I hn! seen Peggy since her marriage to Captain Fenwick of tihc Guards. EiBkino Gwynne, wife and retinue WOTO thorcV So was about everyone else in the fast set, and cham- paprne. flowed freely. We came away from tho Perro- quct loaded with expensive, dolls as souvenirs, having paid only twenty dollars for a magnum of Monopole '19.

It was then two A. M. Fortunes in Night Clubs. Up at Joe Zelli's we found Jaok Bushby in change, "Saint Joe" having gone off to his country chateau for a vacation, Joe was a pauper ten years ago. In 1918 he opened his first night club in Paris and was closed frequently by flia police until dancing and music beetane legal.

Then ho secured an option on his rweaent establishment on the. Rue Fontaine and since has been tho Jnost successful dance hall keeper in Mpntmartre. He is many times a millionaire, in francs and; would rat be surprised if hie fortune in dollars did not approach the six figures. Joe is rotund, ruddy, beaming. He raises and dogs and is one- of the best horsemen in Paris.

His secondary relaxation is tenrfs. Theoc pastimes arc tho necessary counterbalance to the deadly Mbntmarlre atmospliere in which he is obliged at night to live. Chauffeur of the Rue Caumartin.

Phil Plant was again, btit I noticed he was ing Evfen watetr. Ho has only Just got out of the American pitol after a siege of "fed during a lion hunt in Ai-l rica, Phil Plant, ridbest heir wi America, was born a poor farmer! boy.

Prince of Wales Starts Vogue.

From Zelli's we went around m-1 to tho Hue Blanche and to Florence's. Florence is aji American negrCBs of insufferalla conceit which, may, perhaps, bo pafdoncd her because she was "launched" into her present amflwng vogue by no lass an all-nighter than the Prince of Wales. Tliat was when she bad heir little place with Mitchell on the Kue Pignalle. Now she has a place four times larger en the Rue Blanche and it. is there fiat al3ut four o'clock in the moiTiing may bo seen gathca-cd the pick of the heciic set- Flotoncc's prices very nearly double those in other establishments.

We had one bottle of champagne and five sandwiches and the bill was 7GO francs, or thirty dollars. Dial's a lot for Paris where champagne can be borjght in a grocery for forty franca a bottle. But there's no denying that Florence's place is the smartest establishment in Arontanartro. I do not think that this season will i me there ajain. liy CHARLES I-KIGH licclusive CopTig)it.

This is the sj-sterm introduced to the Ntw Jersey state prison by Timothy Murphy, the principal keeper, Murphy -says it works perfectly. There are, on an average, 1,7 CO prisoners in Murp'Hy's care the year roimd. Under tlio dull routine of prison life, grudges aic bom.

That part is unavoidable. Formerly prisoners who irurscd such rcscnt- Btenta against their fellow frequently resorted to slashing with a knife to "get It was after a series of such outbreaks, which threatened the dis- dpline of t.he whole institution, iKit ACurphy brought into operation his boxing glove Ec-ljcrno.

A party of visitors, including several prominent writers on historical subjects, found W. N. Wiley, one of the best-known characters in The Dallas, who was the driver of the Lincoln-Douglas wagon.

That "Old Bill" Wiley was the Lincoln-DougS as wbgon ioVivttr means oiotihing at all to the younger generation, 'but the oldsters remember, without the slighest difficulty, the famous.

Wiley was the driver. Naturally the venerable teamster became clceely acquainted with both men, and he- greatly enjoys reciting his reminiscences of the tcT'e tour whenever he can find Wiley says, to offer lifts to audience.

It -was the custom of both men, wcaiy travelers whom they passed along tho road. Placing their newly-discovered companion between they would then seek to draw him out on tho political situation, without revealing their identity. Thus they obtained an insight into public opinion as reflected by the they made.

Often the debates inside the wagon would rival in energy public contests which the Owo candidates staged at elvery stopping place. Wiley is now S3 years old. For so aged a citizen he is hale and heanty, works every day around his Email farm, and devotes the evenings chiefly to talks with friends or travelers on the tremendous advantages enjoyed in the good-old days.
