THE AZORES.

These islands. lying 1000 miles
east of New York, and SEQ miles west
of Lisbon. are among the most isc-
lated in the Atlantic. Politically, rhey
are a part OF Portugal, but in customs
and appearance. they are as remote
from modern civilization as their sit
uat.on is from the rest of the world
All of the islands lift steeply from
the sea. ia broken hills to peaks. some
of which are over 1850 feet high
There is no level land. except in
coves AID beaches along the foot o.
the cliffs that make the coast line.

Ponta Delgada is a typical town Of
the Azores. II mas some 10000 inhab-

loosely sprawled by the sea. There
are numerous little shops. nearly all
OF which carry wines and liquors as 8

form of seedy hacks, drawn generally
by three horses.
The various strata of Azorean So
ciety are most easily distinguished
by their shoes. or, n the case of the
very lowest classes. by the lack OF
them. for the working people go
barefoot. Those a step higher up wear
heavy wooden shoes. which they re
move at the door. upon entering
house. The middle classes generally
wear a sort OF sandal with wooden
sole about half an inch thick. and
scanty upper OF leather. Real iea1her
shoes. such as are worn in this coun-
try. are a mark OF wealth or official
importance in the Azores.
