BEAUTIES OF MEXICO
hINGLE old AND NEW

A winter tour Of Old Mexico holds all
the delights OF foreign travel and the
advantage Of being more rapidly access

ton OF Mexico-"before the spaniards
came"-abound in picturesque ruins. in
eng-afted Indian customs handed down
through the centuries-in ancient Mex

The Spanish conquerors built noble
palaces. cathedrals. civic buildings. laid
out parks or plazas-designed by the
very men who planned some OF the
worlds most famous piles in Old Spain.
Thus We find the highest type Of early
New World civilization, and the best
Of the Old World not only IN Juxtaposi-
ton, but so closely related as TO ma
terially affect each the other.
A third element is the progressive
spirit OF Modern Mexico, which has built
railroads. schools. colleges, hospitals
hotels. with every known comfort and
convenience; which has established the
telephone, telegraph. electric street
railways and brought about the liberty
peace and security OF person and prop
erty to which Americans are accustom-
ed at home.
The climate and scenery are as va
ried as Is the historic interest above
outlined. Within a half days journey
one may find in Mexico on mountain

temperature.
