A SCENE IN SALONICA.
The Jews and Jewesses That Inhabit Tho
Heart of the Town,

In the true ghetto, in the noisome
heart of the town, where the cobbled
streets run Shiny and the people chatter
with the butchers for the refuse of the
slaughter house and chicken block, you
see the unchanged Jew of the middle
ages. Be he bearded grandsire or tiny
boy, be wears long loose gabardine to
bis heels and the fez of his masters. If
be is we'll to do, the garment may be
fur bordered or it may be of silk, but it

zled in the old men, why and black and
very sparse in the younger heads of fam
lilies. This is as it is in East Broad
way and Chicago and Berlin, but when
you look upon the wives and daughters
in Salonica S ghetto you see medieval
characters who have staid in the east
but sent no representatives abroad.
These Jewesses love display and court
admiration. They are much fairer than
the men, milky skinned, with pale
pink flush, as if they were dollhouse
bred. Their clothes are gay, red, green
and blue being their favorite colors,
and the married women all wear decol-
lete bodices fashioned very low in front
and showing fancy shirt Of Embroidery
and lace, which either reveals the mold
u their forms or makes startling ex-
1osures OF the forms themselves. Their
'heSts are always quite bare. This in
