the enchantment of land so full OF
the drowsy gold of romance and the
witchery of the African sunshine. But
somehow in Egypt one feels that he
has come very near to the fountain
Of youth. You become a sun worshiper
all at once. You forget that you ever
had any care or trouble. Somewhere
en- route you become a lotus eater
Hoary old Egypt has a fascination
The Cairene mosques and bazaars get
a hold on you. You enjoy the strange
antitheses which constantly eonfron,

place is such mixture Of beauty, his
tory and mystery. Life.
