young person when she views the new
winter coats designed for her. Since
specialists give their time and thought
to her needs styles for her frocks and
coats and millinery are no longer
afterthoughts OF those whose business
is to design apparel for grown-ups.
OF course when the girl from twelve

takes its cue from styles worn by
grown-ups her happiness is complete,
Here is coat which has the long
shoulder and graceful drapery that
rules in the new fall conts for women.
1t is made of velours and is less full

"FAMILY HOTEL" CAUGHT ON
RidIcuIed When First Established In
London, Idea Has Met With
Enormous Success.
AIeppo in the Middle Ages.

The first family" or Temperance"
hotel in London, the forerunner of
tens of thousands of such hostelries In
all parts OF the world. was opened In
Covent Garden about 145 years ago.
An inn for the more or less permanent
accommodation of families, and minus
bar. was an undreamed-of thing, and
other hotel-keepers laughed the prof.
ect to scorn. Despite their derisiOn,
the scheme was successful, and made
a snug fortune for its founder, David
Low. London now has hundreds of
family and temperance hotels, and the
United States has thousands of them.
The edifice in which Low started
his hotel is still standing. The build
ing was erected early in the seven
teenth century, and was originally the
home of Sir Kenelm Digby. Crom-
wells council held sessions In the
building, 1t is said, and 1t was the
scene of many other noteworthy gath
erlngs before it was converted into =
hostelry.

The secret of Aleppo's long prosper
ity, which endured even under Turkish
rule, is its splendid commercial posi-
ton nt the junction of at least four
great trade routes. This was perhaps
largely due to the destruction Of Pal
myra (Tadmor) by Aurelian. after
which the bulk of the trade which had
passed through the city of Solomon and
Zenobia now diverted itself by n
more northerly route through AL
eppo. BY caravan it traded with
Persia and India through Mesopota-

Byzantine Versus Hamadanite.

During the middle ages Aleppo's ex-
istence was a life of stormy magnifl-
cence. During the earlier wars of the
Saracens with the eastern Roman EN-
pire 1t was more than once taken and
retaken. In the tenth century 1t be-
came the seat of brilliant local dy-
nasty from Hamadan in Persia. The
most noted ruler of this family was
Seyf-ed-Din. whom the Byzantine his
tOrians call "Khabdanost" /. e.. the
Hamadanite. Seyf-ed-Din kept great
state at Aleppo. and probably the chief
portions of the present fortifications of
the citadel We're built by him, though
It is quite possible that they are older.
He was patron of art and literature
and also mighty warrior who led
many expeditions against the eastern
Roman empire with alternate success
and defeat.
After much success he sustained "A
terrible defeat in 961 in the Taurus
passes. and himself escaped only by
br reakneck scramble up precipice.
Next year his fate was upon him. for
the great Byzantine marshal. Nice
phoros Phokas. soon to he emperOr-re-
gent, marched against Aleppo with all
the available forces of the East. Seyf-
ed-Dln made desperate efforts; he lev
led all the citizens of Aleppo and In
trenched himself to guard the ap-
proaches to his capital, while In Mes
opotamia holy war was proclaimed.
and the troops of Mosul, Edessa, Mar
din and many other places marched to
the relief of Aleppo. Could all these
forces unite the Byzantine general
must have been defeated. but he was
so prompt that he reached his goal be-
fore the Mesopotamians could arrive.
BY one of those mastery turning move
ments which in those days only By
Zantine generals and Byzantine troops
could achieve, Phokas flanked Seyf-ed-
Din out of his intrenchments and
forced him to fight in the open before
the city gates. He was utterly defeat
ed. and as his beaten troops poured
back into Aleppo sedition broke out.
The citizen soldiers laid the blame of
the rout upon the Arab and Turkish
mercenaries; they turned their swords
against one another, and amid this in
ternecine strife the Byzantine cuiras-
siers stormed the walls and came pour
ing Into the streets. sweeping the last
Amy of "Khabdanos' before them in
