A wide, smiling valley. and. far be-

his mental retina. and therefore 20 our

sociated with sundry broad and shady

watched with untirlng interest the con
slant flow Of traffic, the coming and
going OF soldiers. mondaines. peasantry
and curious semioriental figures
1t was late spring, and the suns

the smart electric trans whizzed by
a strange and incongruous mixture OF
the east and west The most ptctur-
esque element in the street traffic was
the peasant women, many OF the girls
being quite beautiful. their garments
gay with red and blue embroideries and
their persons loaded with barbaric
looking silver ornaments. silver coins
even glinting here and there amid their
long. thick raven plaits. Another touch
OF color was given TO this scene by the
numerous different uniforms which dis
tinguished le militaire, the general ap-
pearance Of which reminds one OF the
Russian military dress. although the
men seemed Of a better physique, gen
orally speaking. Toward evening this
picture became even more animated,
for the inhabitants OF Sofia love the
open air. The cafes and restaurants
then assume the aspect Of some lesser
Paris, pretty faces, elegant toilets, mu-
sic and laughter dominating the scene
in the smartest town quarter.
