crican women. so this one asked me.
if I know any who would be willing
to pose. Garvin ran and got a young
lady whom he had met coming over
on the boat. This picture of the
three of 11s was not published, but
instead. om: of Garvin and the girl
snapped during one of the races.

"People have said so much about
the style of the French women. the
average French woman dressing
much better than the average Am-
erican woman. But i found that,
even at the Parisian showings. the
most beautifully dressed women
present were. nine times out of ten.
American women.

."Tho trafficdnlihc cities of both
France and-England is vsry- poorly
regulated. The congestion on the
Strand and Piccadilly in Loudon is
terrible. They are tryingnow to
imitate some of our methods to pre-
vent such trouble in crowded streets.
The rule there is to keep on the left
side of the road. and as you ride
along in a car you feel as though
you were going to bunlp something;
ally minute.

In France. the plays at the thea-
ters are more risque. than in Ameri-
ca. But in England. they are very
conservative. American plays such
as ”The Music‘ Box Revue." "So
This is London." and "Little Mary
Kelly." when put on in London then-
tors are scarcely recognizable. The
English are satisfied with a less dc-
grec of the spectacular art. with less
elaborate scenery and costuming,
but this does not mean less finish
in the acting. And so. after seeing
plays in Europe I have come back
to with a greater appreciation of
the finished product as we see it here
in America.

“The ocean trip going over was
very delightful. But on the return
we left in a storm. which was quite
severe and which continued for sev-
eral days."

“Norwalk. Connecticut. is known
over in Europe. “'0 were driving
through thc pretty town of Rummy-
sur- -Scine. and we had to stop on ac-
count of tire trouble. so we 'made
use of the time to look around. In
one of the fields we saw a. huge mo-
dern factory. women were waving
the elastic which is used in corsets.
They told us that they had an order
from the 11.8.: G. factory of Nor-
walk. Norwalk is known especially
for its tires. corsets, locks. and hats
sold over there.

"Although I cannot speak French
I had no difficulty anywhere we
went. because there was always
someone who could speak and un-
derstand English. Even in that little
town of Romilly. one of the girls in
the factory could do the interpret-
in!

"But really the most interesting
day that i 'spent in abroad was the
day that we went from Deauville to
the Inn of William the Conqueror.
Some of the old furniture which
Prince William took when he, Con-
quered Normandy was there. We
had a delicious dinner in the quaint
old inn. overlooking a most beautiful
old- fashioned garden. I also had a
chance to visit at “The Thred Kings."
which is on the Rhine river. on
the French border.

”The Alsace-Lorraine district was
very interesting. too. While there I
met a French soldier. who had been
brought up in the German army. but
when out. he escaped with over 5. -
000 young men Joined the French
army and served for four years.’

GREAT ADVANCE

Many Big Changes —~
South Norwalk Call-
ed the “Old Well”—

“it is an acknowledge fact that
Norwalk is holding its own with any
city in Connecticut in reference to
its healthy growth. The city is do-
ing more building in the line of fac-
tories, business bl cks and happy.
comfortable homes than any other
city of its size."

This statement was. made yester-
day by John T. Hayes. First District
realtor. Mr. llayes has spent his e11—
tiru life in this community. For many
ylars. he has been engaged in the
real estate business and has witnes-
sed the growth of the city village to
its present size. Mr. Hayes was asked
by the Evening Sentinel to descrlbo
t’le growth of Norwalk over a petiod
of the post fifty years. This is his
story.

"in 1870 the borough or town of
Norwalk was a. quaint old countlv
village with small stores. many open
from early morning to late in till:
evening. The stores carried a line of
general merchandiee. house uqld
utensils. crocoricr ‘n‘ry [Corks m

opera house in wh ch many g
plays were produ was located in

foimance. Seventy-five cents was
