By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Are you one of the people who have
lived for ten years in a great apart
ment house and have no idea who oc-
cupies the floor above them, the floor
below, or, perhaps, even the apart
ment across the hall1
Nowadays very few people are
friends with the folks next door"
The kindly little world in which peo-
pie shared the joys and sorrows of
the neighborhood has grown from
simple town ways to over-dignifed
city ones.
Down in the village from which
your grandmother came you shared
whatever of good or i'll came to the
people in the houses around and, in
cidentally, their butter, or eggs, when
you happened to run short; and there
was a great deal of happy warmth
in hearts and manners.
City life has changed all this. Now
you don't know anybody until you've
been introduced, and, unless you
want to lose your social position. you
put on your hat and gloves when you
are going to the shop around the cor
nerl
The chill, stiff, staring attitude of
the average fashionable street in a big
city is calculated to make a newcomer
want to emigrate back to the country
or even to the swarming slums where
everybody knows everybody else.
There can be nothing more dis
heartening than the chilly state of
things which meets the family COM
ing in to the city from some warm
little village of 10000 gossipy, inquisi-

tive, but altogether neighborly and
friendly people.
Sitting in lonely, lofty dignity and
Ignoring all the pleasant people about
you seems to be considered quite the
correct thing in the city 1t isn't
correct--it's only dreary and foolish
and stodgy and altogether absurd.
Dotted all over our land there are
villages where the kindly country
ways are still enforced. There people
drop into each others houses at all
hours of the day and night in the
happy fashion of genuine friends. No
one is ever too busy or too cold
bloodedly absorbed in his own affairs
and his search for money and position
to refuse a lift to a neighbor who
needs help over a rough place OF
sympathy with some one who is
to tell"
One Of the tragedies of city life is
that far, far too many of us have
learned to be cruelty suspicious of
people we don't know and so are
afraid to give the benefit of the doubt
to folk about whom we have not an
absolute written guarantee of respec-
liability.
A few years ago in the middle west
men used to boast that they always
believed man honest unless he
proved himself a thief. But in the
big cities the rule seems to be to be-
lieve people thieves until they prove
themselves honest! Can't we recover
some of the old neighborliness Of
heart and spirit which will make it
possible for us to give friendly
greeting to the people who live about
us' Can't we learn to feel that the
joys and sorrows, the hopes and fears
and the movements, great and small,
OF those who have been brought close
to us in the congestion of city life
are really close to our hearts too?

One OF the most extraordinary
places on the earth is valley near the
northwestern border of Arabia, con-
tanning the dead city" of Petra, the
Biblical Sela, meaning rock" 1t lies
eastward OF the remarkable depres-
sion of Ell Ghor, or the Wad-el-Araba,
strange cleft in the earth's crust
which huns northward from the Aka
ba arm of the Red Sea, and contains
in its deepest part the Dead Sea,
whose surface Is nearly 1900 feet be-
low sea level
At some time In the geologic past
the rocks fell away along the line of
this depression, leaving a fault" in
the crust. 1t is bordered with wild,
barren mountains. Near the Mount
Hor of the Bible way exists leading
from FL Ghor to basin among the
mountains which constitutes the val
ley of Petra. This valley, surrounded
by steep and rugged slopes and per-
pendicular precipices, is of an Il"
shape, its enclosed plain covering
about one square mile. ga.
A more secluded and unexpected
site for city could not be imagined
and yet there was a time when Petra
contained, it said, 100000 inhabitants.
and when it certainly enjoyed great
commercial prosperity and was adorn-
ed with costly buildings of architec-
tural splendor.
The most signal natural feature OF
Petra IS a gorge, or canyon, a
mile in length hundreds of feet deep
and in places only ten feet wide,
which serves as the entrance way into
the now abandoned and ruined city.
1t is very difficult to get into the val
ley over the surrounding mountains,
so that the crooked gorge is like
gateway in the shape of long, mar
row, high-walled passage, which could
easily be made absolutely impossible.
Through the gorge runs a stream
which abundantly supplied the city
within, and was in former times
carefully restrained within its banks,
while tunnel through the rock pro-
vided for the overflow and prevented
inundation. The gorge is now partly
choked with rocks and debris accu-
mulated during many centuries, but in
the days Of Petra's splendor it was as
well cared for as a street.
At present Petra is only scattered
skeleton of city, haunted at night
by jackals, and partly occupied in the
rainy season by wandering tribes with
their sheep, goats and cattle. The
floor OF the valley is covered with
broken and dispersed ruins, while the
steep walls encircling it are honey
combed with innumerable tombs,
many of great size, and magnificently
sculptured, and all cut out of the ma
tive rock, kind of sandstone, which
glows with color-red, rose, purple
and yellow.
In addition to the tombs, many of
which have been partly obliterated by
the wear OF time, there are, also cut
out of the solid rock, number of
large temples. One of these, the
DER, has facade about 100 feet in
length. In the wall of the entrance
passage itself is cut a beautiful tenn
pie, called the Khazneh, whose col
umns. capitals and other architectural
details excite the admiration of all
who see them.
Some of the architectural features
Of the ruined city date back to the
times Of the Nabataeans. who were
