Magnificent Buenos Aires.

Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, al
ready one Of the worlds finest cities, with
popuia ton of q million and half will fur
Their develop with this national growth.
One can no more characterize Buenos
Aires in a few words than Paris or Rome.
1t is the largest city in the world south
of the equator. Next to New York and
Chicago, 1t is the largest city In the
Americas. Next to Paris 1t Is the largest
date city, with expositions. aviation
flights and other modern municipal ap-
purtenances. 1t Is a busy, prosperous
growing commercial city, and at the
same time the city beautiful with parks
and avenues and public buildings OF
which the Peep e are justly proud.
The things longest to be remembered In
a visit to the west coast of South Ameri-
ca are first the magnificent scenery Of
the Andes and next quaint and ancient
and Cuzco, with remains of the struc-
lures built by the Incas and by the great
err architects and builders who preceded
the Incas.
On the east coast the greatness Is all
modern-of the living present. One re-
members longest the great city of Buenos
Aires, to whose wonderful development
/ have already referred, and the beautt-
full city of Rio, than which there Is none
in the world more attractive In location
and external aspect.
Both Buenos Aires and Rio are, like
Washington, national capitals, located in
federal districts. but they have from the
beginning commanded national attention
and enthusiastic interest in their upbuild-
ing, and wonderful results have been at
tanned in both cities in making broad
avenues. fine plazas and magnificent ma
tional buildings, by condemning, tearing

out the slightest regard to expense.
OF recent years Wash 'ngton. too, has
enjoyed the proud and affectionate con-
sideration Of it's national guardian: and
the lessons taught and the hints given
in the development and adornment OF
Buenos Aires and Rio as federal cities
should prove of value in working out the
best results in. the upbuilding OF Our own
National Capital.

Young Mr.. Walloway gnsped.

They were somewhat disposed to
look curiously upon Mr.: Cherub De-
vine at first, but when the bishop had
patted him affecionately on the shoul-
der and the baron had efusively en-
braced him the atmosphere thawed
perceptibly. t q :. T.
The one person who was least at his
ease was young ME- Walloway. For
awhile he was sitter than ever, and he
had the air Of one who expects some
thing very embarrassing to happen. .,
But the Cherub was undisturbed.
Thus far he had gained his point.
Whether Nick Walloway had been in
duenced by that suggestion Of future
business or whether he had acted pure
~ from motives, Of good fellowship he
cared not. The thing had been done.
The program which the Cherub had
90 hastily outlined that morning was
being carried out. Moreover, his guests
appeared to be enjoying the novelty.
In the course Of half an hour even
Nick Walloway seemed to have be-
come treasured that nothing untoward
was about to happen. AZ matter Of
fact Mr.. Devine was acquitting him
self creditably.

To have the handling Of some Of the
Cherub's extensive business would es-
tablish the firm on basis where ma
hoganY furniture would be something
more than an enterprising presump-

Mr.. Devine assumed that If Mr..
Walloway was glad to see him in his
Office he would feel. the same about
welcoming him to his home. That
this was hardly safe line Of reason
ing any one who knew the Wallo-
ways at all would have known: Just

the gray eyes should have suggested
that Mr.. Walloway was somewhat per
picked and not little i'll at ease. But

Hewington Rods, or Acres, or some
thing"
"Do you mean to say that you own
Hewington Acres? When did you get
possession?"
"Oh, bought it a couple Of months
ago, but I just ran up Friday night to
look the place over. Say, it isn't
bad place, is it, Nick?''
mo, indeed. But what has become
Of the Hewingtons?'
They're there yet, but they don't

you could have heard the countess tell
