CONSTANTINOPLE,
1t Has Perhaps the Finest Site For .
City In the World.

Constantinople looks much better
from the water than it does when view
ed ashore. The tourist who touches AT
the port, remains on board and sees the
city only from the sea retains an en-
tirely different impression from that of
him who goes ashore. Seen from the
water, Constantinople is very beautI-
full. Seen from the shore, it is the
apotheosis of everything that is filthy
and foul. do not say that it is I'M
worthy of visit, but l do say that he
who stays ON board will take away
much more picturesque impression.
The site of Constantinople is ideal.
There is probably no finer site for a
city in the world. Ii is situate on the
Bosporus. between the Mediterranean
and the Black seas. Ii lies between Eu-
rope and Asia. for Scutari is part OF
Constantinople. and Scutari Is on the
Asiatic shore. 1t is cut Off by natural

of these places make one great city

also by nature. 1t has the sea of Mar
mora close at hand. with Notifications
at either end of this great water high
way, rendering the city unassailable
by sea. 1t has peninsular conforma-
ton which also renders il, properly for

years is not urprising.-Argonaut

The father and mother in Paris eat

the family needs for life outside. A vast
amount of sewing is done here. French
girls of even wealthy parents, after
they finish school, attend courses of
dressmaking and millinery and to a
great extent the industry which turns
out the French woman as a model OF
good dressing, to be followed by the
world, is carried on by the women of
the family in what would be the home

Such order of living readily permits
great economy. One has not to waste
time, good clothes or house room in
daily preparation for the unexpected
guest. Six days Of the week French
woman may run her sewing machine
in the middle of her salon il she likes,
secure from the interruption of chance
callers. 1t is said that the chief func-
ton Of the petit salon of Paris apart
ment is to provide storage room for
ball gowns which on reception days are
taken down from the chandelier and
locked up in bedroom till the guests
have departed.
