she IL approached from the sea.
Just as one should always, IL pos

particular cities In n certain way and
the poorest wny Of all to approach
almost any city Is by train. Never go
to Cadlz by rail. Better far, { you are
In mld-Spaln and must use the roads
or the tedious ferrocarll, go TO Seville
or over to Tangier In Africa and make
one of those little voyages that arc
regularly available, IN order TO come
upon Cndlz by way of the sen. II Is
generally acknowledged that there Is
no other sea approach In the world
that Is so beautiful as this.
Cadlz ut such times and In such cir

white and blue. She rises up from the
sen on a small platform Of limestone
rock which only a very narrow 18TH
mus holds to the mainland. In n ma
jestic silver beauty the houses with
their a~zoteas, or fiat roofs, seem TO
rise like n fairy city above the deep
blue OF the sea. their mlradores or
view towers surrounding them. All are
heavily coated with whitewnsh fire.

Always White and Clean.
Thus the city is always white, quite
smokeless, and Is kept spotlessly clean.
