Thanksgiving Day In Paris
Last Thanksgiving was celebrated by Americans in Paris in a manner that was as "traditional" as was possible in face of a few shortcomings such as almost complete famine in pumpkin pie and a shortage in the cranberry supply.
Dinners were enjoyed at home by Americans who have homes in Paris but the "floaters" who find themselves far from their native heaths on feast days had to trust their fates to hotels and restaurants.
The American Art association at 74 Rue Notre Dame des Champs gave a dinner for its members.
Hotel and restaurant proprietors have long since appreciated the importance of Thanksgiving day as a "jour de fete" for Americans, and they had prepared the "national dish." Among these were Le Athens, Langham and Continental hotels and Noel, Peters and Chatnerx restaurants, which were all crowded with Americans at the dinner hour.
