MEDITERRANEAN SHORES
 IN PEACEFUL TIMES

Tn all the turmoil of troubled Esu- rope many American travellers found the serenity of the Mediterranean shores a haven where they might rest glorious country. While the districts along this great inland sea are fully prepared and patro1led, they have been spared the direct influence of battle. They reflect the sweet spirit
 of peace and the very joy of living.
 George c. Edwards will address the Mems Club of Trinity church. in
 the parish house on Broad street, near Fairfield. next Monday evening,
 at D. In., showing pictures of a late trip through the Mediterranean, stopping first at Madeira with its wonderful public gardens-reputed the most beautiful in the world and its toboggan-slid means of loco- motion without snow or ice; Gibra1- tar with which Great Britain con- trols the western end of the Medi-. terranean; A1giers with it's curious mixture of Arab and French. The city of Algiers with marble buildings and gold and red cupolas
 and mfnarets; with green palms and cerulian blue of sky and water; with bloomered blue coated French zou- aves-this city of contrasts where one feels as if in truth living out one Of the Arabian Nights tales, formed the | starting point for 8 trip into the des- lert.
 Crossing the sSea. in the Land'' Gas the Latins named the Mediterranean1
 from Algiers, MT. Edwards motored l through the French and Italian Ri- vieras-the great play grounds of all | the wor1d-with Nice, Monte Carlo and other resorts where great for l tunes are made and lost at the turn of a wheel.
 Leaving these charming scenes. the

 been great art and political centers, the magnificent Italian Lakes walled in by stupendous mountains, the | mighty Swiss Alps, and gay Paris l formed the homeward path.
