~%l1E trip by the Magdalena
river from the sea to Bogota,
the capital OF Colombia, is one
of the most interesting the
traveller can find, says the London
Times. The time of the voyage varies
from nine to fourteen days, according
20 whether it is made In the wet Or
dry season.
During the trip one ascends from
sea level to 1900 feet above 1t; there
are three separate train, and two
steamer journeys; the scenery varies
from sweltering forest to wide, airy
pastures, wheatfields and ragged blue
mountaip peaks; the dwellings of the
people change from insouciant, palm
matched huts to the imposing Spanish
style stone mansions of the ancient
city OF Bogota.
Puerto Colombia, with the turquoise
Caribbean washing It's feet, is a port

the convenience of Barranquilla. Wide

Soon the forest closes down to the
edge Of the water, as unconquered. as
dominant, as In Quesada's day, 400
years ago. Quesada took two years to
ascend the river to Bogota, the sur
vlvors of his party arriving ragged and
starving; the marvel is that a single

plains.

The jade of banana leaves, whipped
into rags by the wind, the glaucous
green of lilies, the emerald of the
palms, the jasper of the great forest
giants, is only broken here and there
by a trail of Towering vine or the rare
sight of high-perched mauve or gold
orchid; where open spaces occur there
are Iow-growing bushes covered with
flowers, and one sees a host of butter
flies and birds, but usually there is
nothing but the river and the green
wall Of forest. When rain falls in a
straight sheet even the forest is blotted
out and the alligators and turtles of
the margins are invisible until the sun
reappears.
When a stop is made for wood or to
deliver merchandise to some little trad
ing point the outlet for some rich
region producing sugar, hides, coffee or
tobacco. all the village comes TO the
little wharf, guns are fired and the
church bell is rung in the steamers
honor; there are a number of such
places below Puerto Berrlo. Puerto
Berrio is important as the starting
point for the wonderful Cauca Valley,
worth some trouble to reach and pos
sessing a perpetual June climate, a
wealth of fruit and flowers, u fertile
soil and mountains sown with precious
minerals.
At La Dorado, where the blue noun.
tains have suddenly come nearer and
turn, green and purple. there is little
but a row of modest cottages. and the
railway sheds; but here is the train
for Beltran, the line leaving the river,
and traNersing a wonderful country of
bright Ereen pastures with sturdy
herds grlzing, fine lusty trees and hills
+ that rise grotesquely, topped with fan
tastic rocks like battlemented castles
of the middle ages. All this region is
famous for its tobacco, and has ex-
ported it to Europe for over a hundred
years. The train stops at Honda, where
one looks far down at the rapids; the
town is bright and pretty, the center
of gold mining industry, and here.
by the way, one buys four cigars Of
excellent tobacco for the equivalent OF

A Lingerie Dress

launched novelty in a lingerie

Frills That Stand Out
Across the Hips

I ANNiN, one Of the most ardent
advocates ct the broadenod hin
line, Is using outstanding frills across
the hips of many of her new dresses
and Is mounting the front Of the
skirt also with an outstanding ruche.
A model which has Just been COM
pleted in black velvet with white
bead embroidery, is shown to-day.
This embroidery is very novel in that
it is more like an applique fringe
set fiat on a panel With the pendant
ends lett loose and swinging.
She shows great preference for
these side panels on her dresses
Sometimes she gathers them TO the
skirt, leaving q heading at the ton:
often she lines them with gold cloth.
If the fabric Of which the dress is
composed happens TO be thin one,
the CLINT of the metal through it is
effective.

the necks half decollete.
Long Lace Mitts That
Are Particularly Smart
ONE of the latest accessories to
these frocks is long lace nlitts in
Chantilly pattern. These mitts are
particularly smart when worn in
combination with Chantilly lace
hat, Like that shown in the sketch.
This hat has a foundation Of pink
metal cloth, overhung with black
Chanhlly lace caught at the TOP Of
the crown with a black MORE

New Silks Are
Supple

n OW that we are beginning to
think of our new autumn
clothes, two questions arise
first what materials will
be used, and second, what will the
styles be?
Many new autumn silks have very
elaborate metal embroidery; gold
and silver threads intermingle in
weaving designs on their bright
colors. All Of the new silks are OF
the supple character that gracefully
adapts itself to drapery. The hand
some brocades which have aiways
been so heavy are now worked on
lightweight backgrounds. Metal en-
broideries are even done on voiles
and crepes; these will be used for
dancing dresses.

Metal Cloth Hats
Have an Important Role
SOLID metal cloths are being made
in weaves which are particularly
supple and we'll adapted to millinery.
These are in gold, silver and steel
colorings. Metal cloth hats will play
an important role in the fashions for
