COST OF LIVING
HIGHEST IN HISTORY IN FRANCE (Rec. February 14, 9.10 p.m.) Paris, February 13. The cost of living at present is at the highest point in history. It is seven times more than pre-war, despite the fact that the franc has fallen only one-fifth of the pre-war value. The Montmartre, so dear to the heart of foreigners,. is declining, and the owners of dance halls and cabarets are discovering that they have killed the goose that laid the golden egg. There was a time when Parisians could have an afternoon’s dancing and refresh-’ ments for two shillings. With the arrival of tourists the French dropped out, and the owners fleeced the tourists, who now are avoiding the Montmartre.
