I Am Not Always A Dingbat On The Champs Elysees
A Paris dinner tale recounts a dinner show at the Lido on the Champs Elysees with a group of about 25 travelers paying an $81 tab for three, including a daughter. A flustered tour guide collection attempt and a bold taxi ride lead to a comic mispayment and a traffic jam. The column notes the author’s mouth and humor, and hints at more diary-like entries on page A-25 column 4.
