Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Temptations were the most commercially successful and
critically lauded male vocal group of the Sixties and early
Seventies. Through the years, the group's trademark razor-sharp
choreography, finely tuned harmonies, and compelling vocals made
them the exemplars of the Motown style. This is the frank,
revealing story of the legendary supergroup, told by its founder.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.

SOJOURNING SHOPPING f STUDYING IN PARIS Note THIS little book is
intended for the use of women and girls going to Paris, whether for
a long or a short stay. My aim has been to give the addresses of
suitable hotels, boarding-houses, shops, schools of art, teachers,
and places of amusement, particularly those places to which women
may safely go without es cort to indicate enjoyable excursions by
steamboat, railway, or tramway to mention the usual charges for
board, fees to servants, and prices generally in short, to provide
the visitor with such information as will save her most of the
annoyance that commonly falls to the lot of women who go alone to a
strange city. While the book is small enough to be easily carried
in a handbag, the information it contains will be found quite full,
as well as accurate. The addresses I have given are all known,
either to myself or friends, to be desirable, and may be relied on.
I shall be grateful to readers who will notify the publishers of
any errors they may discover in the book. E. O. W. BALTIMORE,
