Party Enjoy Beauties of
Famed Arizona Wonder.

Grand Canyon of Arizona, Oct. IS.
Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, ar
irving with King Albert and their
son to view the wonders of the
Grand Canyon, climbed Saturday to
the top of century-old rock on the
edge OF the gorge and posing her
self with forest ranger clinging to
each arm, looked down into the dizzy
depths below. 1t was not apparent
that she felt any fear as the wind
whipped about her long leather avi-
alton coat.
This was great day for the Grand
Canyon for it brought i'll two spe-
cial trains with distinguished
guests, one OF them for the Belgian
visitors and the other the Duke of
Sutherland, one of Englahd's wealth.
lest PEGS.
The duke did not meet the king,
however, for he started early to go
down into the canyon and did not
expect to return till late.
The royal special brought with it
Arizona's welcoming committee,
Governor Campbell, Mrs. Campbell,
their Two sons. Adjt Gen. w. S. In
gals, z. r. Mines, the governors
secretary. and Mrs. w. V. De Camp
and daughter of Prescott.
Governor Greets Visitors.
Governor Campbell, almost as tall
as the king and wearing a pictur-
esque sombrero, was the first to
greet their majesties and welcomed
them formally to this state. The
royal party walked to their hotel
and then had their first view of the
canyon.
The rulers of Belgium explored
the ever-fresh and never ending
mysteries of the Grand Canyon and
when they had witnessed the most
marvellous sunset of their lives, de-
cided the day was one of the most
perfect they had had since they
came to the United States. They
rode this afternoon around the
world-famed rim and exclaimed at
the marvels of nature.
No attempt was made to descend
to the valley 1000 feet below, be-
cause time for it was lacking, though
King Albert, intrepid climber of Eu-
ropean mountains, expressed regret
that he was unable to do so. He
had accepted honorary membership
in the American Alpine association.

THE result Is women can no longer

the present form Of dress. .,
Women of ordinary circumstances
in japan have fifty or so dresses made
of linen, cotton, silk or mixed materi-
ais. varying with the use to be made
of them., In addition the Japanese
women must have at least two kinds
Of coats, one cut with square neck
md one with an ordinary kiHlona

'.These dresses are made by hand
and must be ripped apart at least
once a year, laundered or cleaned and
put together again. Japanese. women
do not take kindly to street cars,
largely for the reason that their asli-
cate kimonas are liable to be soilsd.
