mail coach on a. stand near by Inside luxurious coaches different railr pads operate free moving pictures that de- ptct the beauty spots and advantages of travel upon their respective lines. But perhaps the automobile section is even more Interesting. There is noth- ing more democratic than the auto mobile these days. The ''jitney bus'' is 8 great leVeler So always a. large crowd is to be seen studying the won- derful eolored relief maps or the sys- tenn of state highways that will soon furnish a fine surfaced road from the Gulf of California to Puget Sound. Another fine map displays 9 second nada line, in North Dakota, to the Gulf of Mexico. The mountains, oceans, forests and canyons are moulded on these wonderful maps with a realism that-I had almost said, stirs, the gasoline in one,s tanks -stirs in one an intense desire to escape to the mountains where there are no speed limits. But the sight of the crowd at the far end of the section draws one away. to witness the assembling of an automobile by half a. dozen gangs, each working on a single operation and passing on their product, the whole turning out a.. finished machine down to the honk every ten minutes.

But his wonenkind will be found packing the long counters where MT. Ram N. Puri bakes and hands out the little sweet Hindu cakes of MT. Rudyard Kip Hng's Indian ibazaars. In the next stall Miss Taruyo Tokunagai, looking very sweet and pretty in her national Japanese costume, dispehses delicate rice cakes all hot from the furnace.

Russia, Mexico, Sweden, Germany, every nation has a. pretty representative to supply it's choicest sweetmeats to eager patrons. Then there are pickle samples teas. comees, James, jellies, sauces, condi- ments.

 am sure that the woman I ob- served would not care to eat again for a week. Perhaps she was Bel gian refugee. Not that the food con- sdtutes the feminine attraction. Food l is a Woman's business, and your modern woman is always ready to learn. For tha same reason they haunt the sewing machine displays, tor watch with absorbing interest the manufacture of Swiss embroidery. laces, stockings. These things all come in the days work.
 Though the proportion of male eb- servers is here larger, it is natural that a woman's natural mother in stinct should cause her to take a 1 Hvelier interest in the educational exhibits. The grouped pillars, flow erfng bast1ons, airy dome and bor- deT1ng lake was modelled aftef the Roman Emperor Hadrian's country villa, have registered one exception. l One might put up with being an em- peror to live in so beautiful a house. And it's contents are worthy of their shrine. The Chinese and Jap- anese art exhibits alone are worth a | trip across the continent. But in ad- I dition innumerab1e paintings, great Il 4 and school, fill half a hundred rooms. The Pre-RaphaeIztes, Renaissance, 1mpressionists, Cubists, all are here. 1 Loan collections of famous old mas ters offer the art student exceptional l advantages for comparison and study. Whistler, Sargent, Chase l Tarbell, the best of modern Amer1- cans are showing in rooms of their own. Through every variety o1 theme, treatment and motive. the paintings make a real appeal wide as 1 life itself. Nor are the correIative arts neglected The best in sculpture bronzes. woven tapestries, are also to be seen. Summed, the galleries provide a liberal education in the fine arts.
 And here is struck the keynote o1 the entire exposition. It serves trade and commerce, it is true,s serves then as they have never been served be. fore. It will help our domestic trade and draw that of the world at large into closer relation And it canno1
 but promote good feeling among the nations. But this granted, the fac Eremains that it's greatest effect vii be educational. For the hundreds fo1 congresses and convent ons which vii
 meeting in San Francisco during the
 exposition year, it furnishes huge
 working laboratory for the i11ustra, , tfon and demonstration of their spe cial subjects and ideas; and no mar may walk through It's palaces with. out gathering knowledge on a hun
