Continued from Gay Paris

(15th Dec 1924, Letter 16, part 3/6)

From there we went to Le Ciel and L'Enfer (Heaven and Hell). The former is good as angels fix you up with beer and then take you for a trip through Heaven this time accompanied by St Peter who has the Keys for all departments.

On leaving this Mont Matre was awake and night life was in progress and we attended one of the cafes where we had more beer.

Do not think from this that I am on a jag as such is not the case as French beer is more mild that water if possible and has no effect on one.

Again I got home with the milk but quite satisfied with my nights amusements.

All this must be an experience that cannot be obtained anywhere else in the world and so I am going it hard for the few days I am here.

Flapper Fashion in the 1920s (with a fair bit of advertising I'm afraid),
Paul Colin's "Le Tumulte Noir" (Contemporary artwork of and inspired by Josephine Baker, Smithsonian Institute, National Portrait Gallery),
Unbelievably huge collection of 1920s fashion.
