PARIS HAS
WILSONITIS
« «
( By C. Lyon )
v. *.
PARIS, Jan. 17— (By Mail) Paris
naa W ilsonitis in a most virulent form.
The Spanish “flu” which recently
had the town in its clutches, wasn't
half so wide-spread.
President Wilson just now is the |
hobby of every Parisian who’s old
enough to know what it’s all aboui.
They've already dedicated to him
the .
Wilson cocktail.
Wilson highball. I
Wilson hat.
Wilson Shoe.
Wilson avenue.
Wilson march.
Everywhere you go— restaurant,
hot*!, theatre, in the street— you
hear them discussing “Le President
‘Vi Pon\
You drop into a barber shop for 1
a shave. The barber’s wife lathers j
your mouth, eyes, nose and ears while
Monsieuh Barber is finishing of the j
customer in the next chair.
She begins at once:—
“I saw Madame Wilson riding in
the street today . I waved to her with
my little American flag.” She opens ;»
drawer and brings out the American
flag and waves it again. It is the
same for every' American visitor to
the shop.
‘‘Madame Wilson is very pretty.;
And her gowns. Oh, la la! Le Presi- i
deni must be very rich? She is very
chic. And her clothes are all American
ma* •? How interesting! I had no idea
Am.ncan modes were so stylish.”
Mie babbles on until the husband
step.; over, razor in hand, to start
ope. .tions.
; toad of beginning at once to re*
min you your hair is falling out. and
that he has just the remedy for it in
a big green bottle of that a nice ma.'*
sag would go well with your shave
he rays:
4 fell me, is it true that your Pie- i
der.. often shaves himself, and with a
saf* y razor?”
ho emphasis he puts on “Safety
raz*v ” indicates that such instruments
are •:> more popular with French bar
ber than with American.
I profess complete ignorance on
the i abject.
4 K iropean rules never shave thorn -
sel es” he adds.
I!' then inquires as to who is the
Pr i dent’s chief valet during his stay
in F ance, whether it would be diffi
rul to get an audience with the valet,
etc , etc.
“Vo greater honor could come to
me in life than to shave your great
Prc 'dent just once while he is in Par
is ’’ 'C finally confesses.
“T^at’’, I assured him gravely,
“w "Id he a matter of great state im
poi nnce. I’d advise you to tako it up
wit!i Ambassador Sharp or Colonel
Ho se."
He thanks me profusely for the
ad\ I .'0 and I manage to get out of the
shon without buying that bottle of
ha ;* tonic. ...
Tt’s the same in the restaurant.
Vo matter who the Frenchman is
wh > sits next to you or at a near -
by able he.finally draws you into
con '< rsation on the one topic that
is H'permost in his mind— President
Wi on.
ft seems to interest the average
Fr nchman intensely to hear that
President Wilson’s favorite drink is
pure water. In France they use wat
er only for bathing purposes and to
put under bridges.
“ pur n*v*r cjrjjika
k
wines or liquors?” I’ve been asked a
dozen times in restaurants.
I always hedge and play safe.
“ I never saw him take a drink of
anything but water in all my life.” I
say.
That usually settles it. They seem
to take it for granted that every Am
erican in Paris just now must be the
close friend and confident of the Pro a
-dent.
The American civilian in Paris <v
about sixty or thereabouts who bears
even the remotest resemblance to our!
President has certain embarrasments. ]
His joker friends are apt any even
ing, on the crowed boulevards, where
I the merrymakers throng, to point h*m
out to a group of French poilus and
their girl friends and with a wink say:
“There goes President Wilson incog
nito.”
I’ve seen at least three very dig
nified American gentlemen on dif
ferent occasions surrounded by pretty
girls, doing a May-pole dance around
them, to end in the dignified gentle
men being kissed and kissed and kiss
ed.
Paris’s stock of “Vive Fas is al
most exhausted.
The taxi- driver, the street clean
er. the subway conductor, the police
man— they all wear from one to three
Wilson buttons, while every shop had
a big lithograph of the President in
the show window.
The Murat palace, where the Presl
dent now lives, always has a ciowd in
front of it, the curious hoping for just
a glimpse of the famous visitor.
Paris has been used to entertain
ing kings and queens and emporo s
and princes and potentates all its lif*-.
but this is the first time for an Ameri
can President.
It’s great stuff for Paris.
