How Paris Amuses Itself
By F. BERKELEY SMITH
Author of "The Real Latin Quarter"
This jolly, handsome book is the very incarnation of that spirit of
amusement which reigns supreme in the capital of the world's fun. The
author unites the graphic skill of the artist, the infectious enthusiasm
of the lover of fun and gaiety, and the intimate personal knowledge of
the long-time resident in this great playground of the world. In spirit
the reader can visit with a delightful comrade all the nooks of jollity
known only to the initiated, enjoy all the sparkle and glitter of the
ever-moving panorama of gaiety, and become a part of the merry throng.
"It is the gayest book of the season and is as handsome mechanically as
it is interesting as a narrative. The sparkle, the glow, the charm of
the risque, the shimmer of silks, and the glint of jewels--are all so
real and apparent."--_Buffalo Courier._
"The very spirit of modern Paris is prisoned in its text."--_Life._
"There is about the whole book that air of light-heartedness and frolic
which is essentially Parisian. This book is a book for everybody--those
who know Paris and those who do not know it."--_North American_,
Philadelphia.
