low, for these times.
Averaging the various commodities
up. we figure that we can feed our
selves, approximately, at 80 to rs per
cent of the New York cost.
Striking balance-rent. food, SER
vice, light, fuel and other. more or
less, absolute necessities-the cost OF
living is higher but not enormously
higher in Belgrano than In the United
States.
Clothing, heat whom the weather Is
so cold that 1t positively cannot be dis
pensed with, and incidentals generally
are what break your financial back.
For the rest. Belgrano, like Buenos
Aires, is fairly well kept. very well
policed and convenient.
The foreign population splits up So
cially, to a great extent. according to
nationality. The socia' life in each
group is very much what 1t would be
like in small town in each of the
countries represented. The atmosphere
is very free, easy and unconventional.
Its freedom is one OF the principal
charms of Argentine life. for foreign
er, at any rate.

Buenos Aires, Oct. 14.-(By MaiD--
Spring has comeSsouth OF the equator.
"B-A,' as the English call this place,
is growing stuffy. 1t behooves us 10
find home in the suburbs.
Being North Americans we turn nat
urally toward Belgrano. This is be-
cause the English speaking colony lives
mainly there. So does the German
speaking colony. They get along with
out fighting but they never speak us
they pass by, no matter how friendly
they were before the war
Belgrano is built on a hill 1t rises
somewhat abruptly from the surround
ing plain to an altitude of about eight
feet, Geographers say it is the loftiest
peak between the River Plate, the
Andes. Magellan strait and the Attain
tic. Otherwise this sections is rather
flat. The top of billiard table is a
mountain waste comparatively.
Transportation between "B-A' and
Belgrano is good. The Central Argen-
tines Retro station is 10 minutes walk
from the center of the city. Many
street car lines converge there. The
fare is "A cents. The Retro station is

You can ride on it daily as many times
as you please.
"B-A' and Belgrano are also con-
nected by trolley, but it Is a tiresome

an hour in practice. The fare is A
cents per journey. each way.

lionaire to live In one. Let's look oft
farther.
Most of the houses are brick. plas-
tered with stucco. The prevailing
color is white or light yellow. There
are lots OF trees. Most of the streets
are cobbled and well kept. 1t is a pref
ty suburb.
Except for the homes of the million
aires and a few apartment buildings,
about half the houses are one and the
other half are two stories high.
One story is good enough for us.
The house is three short blocks from
the station. The white stucco- covered
front is flush with the street. The door
is like the door to jail. The windows
are heavily barred.
The door opens into a red tiled cor
ridor. which is rooted but leads into the
open air of the court or patio upon
which the house really faces.
This patio is about Is feet square.
1t has a splotch of grass in the middle.
Around the sides are beds of flowers
in full bloom. In three corners are
small palms. In the fourth is a grape
vine which climbs a trellis and roofs

Though child's size, it is beautiful

One side'of the patio is shut in ny
the adjoining house. A second side IS
bounded by high wall. Our new DOM
icile. built in an L." completes the
quadrangle.
Between the patio and the street are
a good-sized bedroom and an equally
good sized combination living and din
ing room. The other arm of the Il" rs
devoted to box stall for IA servant a
kitchen and bathroom. equipped in the
latest style-of 1871.
The windows, on the street, are COW
cred with blinds designed to keep peo-
pie from seeing in but admitting I'M
limited quantities of air. The doors on
the patio are so large that opening
them amounts to taking out that side
of the house. The whole thing is in
tended for summer use. It's purpose is
to combine the advantages of being out
of doors and in the house at the same
time. When the weather is warm. it's
great. In winter of course you freeze
to death. Everybody expects to do so
in Buenos Aires.
SOUNDS AND LOOKS GOOD.
1t sounds and looks and is, conditions
being favorable. an ideal place in when
to live. In the well-known last analy
sis however. the house is a mere shack,
which covers, patio and all, about 25xj0
feet of cheap ground. The whole in
vestment in it can't exceed $500. The
rent is $50 pesos monthly, or $66. Aud
