Cairo, Jan. 30-llere in the capital OF
Egypt are the strangest contrasts
TO be witnessed OF any place where
the old and the new meet. Each ma
tionality In Cairo has It's own quar-
tiers. In the Arab quarter there still
Is the decadence Of Egypt a settle
ment with narrow, crooked streets and
full of the uncean sights and odors
prevalent in oriental towns OF the old
time Here donkey drivers shrek,
nelghbors quarrel, merchants scream
their wares, and yelled women In black
glide cringingly to and fro as II apol-
ogizlng for being on the earth.
In the hotels and In the quarters
where French, English and Americans
live electric lights flash, electric trolley
cars whiz past, the dinners and dances
Of white women and men are as
recherche. as splendid and as fun OF
vanity and flirting as II a section OF
fashionable society had been sliced out
OF New York, Paris or London and de-
posted here In the heart OF clvlllza-
ton which taught Moses magic and
Jurisprudence
