They are all full of interest, but each has it's riv;i in Florida, B. A. Florida street is the chief promenade, shopping and gossip ing place of this South American me- tropolis, and it's scenes at about or in the afternoon are different from those of any great street of the world. At that hour the thoroughfare is filled with a moving mass of promenaders, made up of all classes and conditions of men to be found in this part of the world. The street is only 35 feet wide and less than mile long. It leads from the Plaza de Mayo, where are the government palace, the stock exchange and the cathe- dral, to the Plaza San Martin, where arr the most magnificent palaces, the Plaza hotel and the site of the new Jockey elup. All the way it is lined with fine build- ings whose shops make you think of a mighty museum or a display of the treas ure vaults of the world. The roadway Is paved with asphalt, and the sidewalks are of tiles like the floor of bath room. Everything is kept as clean as pin and the crowd fits the surround jngs.
 The Argentinos are fine dressers Every one spends much on his clothes as his purse can afford, and the women who walk the Florida are clad in the latest creations of Paris. Many of the men are dressed to the hines. and young dandies stand on the sidewalks or stroll back and forth arm in arm. The women are of all classes; beautiful girls and son.

IL slab and upon it may be placer a photo- graph of the dead covered with glass. Be- low this is little shelp on which they stand flowers or a burning oil lamp.
 The funeral processions of Buenos Aires are different from ours. In advance of the hearse at a wel-to-do funeral goes a landau with glass sides In which are piled the floral offerings. The hearse is drawn by four or six black horses; and it has on the box two men in liverhs of black and silver and wearing cooked hats. The hearse Is open at the sides. It consists of a canopy supported by four life-sized figures of Philippians carved out of ebony, and it is decorated with six huge plunes made of black ostrich feathers. The cof- fin lies on black cloth in which the initials of the dead are worked in silver.
 The time of the funeral, according to law, must be within 24 hours after the death, and the invitations to take part in it are usually sent out by newspaper advertisement such as the following:
