Why is it, asks the Pathfinder, that
in most of the cities of the world
fashion makes its home in the north
western quarter Why is it that the
"West End" is 80 often the aristo-
cratic section of city and the East
Side" and "South Side 80 often the
residence of the poorer classes ? 1t is
fact and there must be some ruling
cause for it. Is it this: that the pre-
vailing winds of the earth are north
westerly They are, in general,
northwesterly, and their tendency is
to blow the dust, smoke and odors OF
city to its eastern or southern side.
This makes the opposite quarter the
more desirable for residence. People
have in oil ages been governed by the
rule without inquiring very deeply
into its cause.
