strong even for the Italians. On
the northwest the Ghetto creeps
Beach and under the brow of Rus
sian hill. This is their only outlet,
but they are crowding the older set
tiers further outward, for no other
peoples will live where the Ghetto
extends its lines. The Italians most
ly are engaged in, the fruit and fish
canneries and in fishing in the bays
and rivers. Also in the manufac-
ture of their favorite macaroni and
gardening, and fishing for salm-
on and shrimp, the Ghettoites
are strongly competing with the
Chinese and have practically monop-
olized these branches of industry.
Like the Chinese, the Ghettoites
do not assimilate with other races,
and hence are not as desirable citi-
zens, especially as comparatively lit
tie of the money they earn is invest
ed in this country. About 1000 of
these people are engaged in the fish
cry business in this city. From Fish
erman's wharf they sail out each
morning in their square-rigged yes
sells, flying a lateen sail from a sim
gle spar, and at night return laden
with fish. They have fishing camp
near the wharf, and there dry and
prepare their catch of shrimp for
the market. They run their craft
up into the lagoons and islets and
fish out of season, where it is diff
cult for officers of the law to find
them. In this they are as shrewd as
the Chinese and are about as trou-
blesome to the fish commissioners.
The Ghetto is the oldest settled
portion of San Francisco. The town
was located at the base Of the hill
near the shipping, while the Latin
element swarmed upon the hill. No
traces Of the early town remain, but
the Ghetto is about as It was then,
only much more extensive. Here are
seen Anticipated cottages, with high
pitched roofs, and oyerhanging caves
that nearly meet across the narrow
alleys and almost shut out the sun
light, doors below the level of the
streets, and others that are reached
by narrow rickety stairways, filthy
streets into which everything is
thrown. regardless Of, the menaces

The Ghetto of San Francisco is the
most extensive Latin settlement in
the United States, and the most
compact. The Ghetto is inhabited by
Italians, MeXicans, Spaniards, Sicil-
lans, Manila men, and a small sprink-
ling of French and Portuguese.
These Portuguese are from the AZore
islands, and the other classes of the
Ghetto draw line of social distinc-

A lovely hat of soft pastel blue fel.
has transparent insertions of coarse
white Irish crochet lace let into the

folds of blue chiffon are drap.d

taken over the brim and carried
round the crown to form a bandeau,
which rests on the hair and softens
the lines of the brim. A lovely white
ostrich feather droops over on to the

The large toque, somewhat in the
Toreador style, is made Of black

new blac.i plush and black ostrich

of the model consists chiefly in a tie

then being tied into a cravat bow,

Love departed. Upon the magic
wings of quest and hope he flew back
over the ways that the youth and
maiden came. He saw the stately
edifices, the princely courts, the gold
en- treasures stored up for them. He
saw servants ministering ito their
every want and all the boundless
servility that waits on earthly pos

the safe deposit and the registrars

tide of society that flowed around
their doors.

OUR LITTLE ONES IN WINTER.
They Should Be Well Wrapped and
Allowed to Go Out for Open-Air
Exercise.

Almost every one envies country
children in the summer time and with
very good reason. Our little ones then
have all the advantages of fresh air,
sunshine and broad fields, and we see
the results when fall comes in sturdy
limbs, bright eyes and brown skins.
How few of us. however. stop to think
of the change in condition when cold
weather comes, and the children are
no longer out of doors. We are speak
ing now, says the Home Magazine,
especially of the small children who
have not yet begun to go to school.
They are too often kept in the house
day after day until some special occa-
sion takes them out, and then they
catch cold. Mothers say they can't
let the little ones play out of doors
in winter because they always catch
cold; but did you ever hear of chill,
dren, who go out every day, being sub.
Jet to colds? Too often we fear the
children remain in the house because
mother is too busy Cor thinks she isl to
see that they are dressed properly for
playing out of doors. We must admit
that to bundle two or three active lit.
tie tots with coats. hoods, overshoes,
leggings and mittens does take some
time-and may not seem worth the eff
fort to the busy mother. She doesn't
mean to be selfish and isn't lazy a bit.
She simply does not realize the crying
need for outdoor air and exercise to
these growing mites of hers. 1t should
be part of the daily living, unless in
exceptionally bad weat Their, to have the
children out once every day. and they
will be better for it, mentally as we'll
as physically. There is no need to re.
mind mothers how restless and fret
full children become when indoors all
day. They really would be gamers by
it as well, and the children can soon
learn to help themselves prepare for
the outing. Don't do for them what
they can do for themselves. We wish
every mother could take that rule to
| heart. It's easier to do, of course,
than to teach them; but you make
them selfish by your own unselfishness.
Give the little ones a chance.

is content to pass his indolent life in
drumming on the guitar. Mexican
life is here seen as in the primitive
Californian days, and the Italians and
Portuguese live after the fashion Of
their ancestors in their native land.
A visit to the Ghetto is like stepping
into Italy, Mexico, the Azores, or into
Breton, from which district the
French mainly come. These classes,
like the Chinese and japanese, are not
of the better element, which does not
emigrate. The Italians come from the
more crowded districts, nearly all Of
them of the very lowest class, and
some of them are criminals, or MEM
bers of the Malta, Carbonari and other
unlawful societies. Very few of them
can read or write, and they show no
disposition even to learn English. A
few of the more intelligent among
them build tenement houses and cot
tages and soon become rich-for Ital-
ians. These 'nabobs" then move out
OF the Ghetto, or upon it's borders,
where they occupy cottages and live
after the manner of their ancestors
in their villas. They lend money to
their poor brethren at illegal usurious
interest. They have their own gov
eminent, or unwritten laws, like the
Chinese have, and manage their affairs
independently of our local laws.
