Cleopatra Still Mistress of the Nile.
One famous figure stands out in the
history of Egypt and the Nile, giving
river, country and seaport lasting
charm. All along the river, from Philae,
above all at Dendera the shores are per-

liant, whose charm, seduction, wit, and
human fascination have been made inn

MatrimOny by the Year.
