sale left the Danes with a proprietary
interest in almost every valuable con-
ccssion on the islands.
Mr.. Franck's habtual good nature
deserts him when he writes about
Kingston, the chief city of Jamaica.
He describes it as filthy town, over
run with brutal. insolent negroes. who
overawe the white Inhabitants. He was
glad to leave as quickly as possible.
The author visited the two French
dependencies in the West Indies-Guad-
cioupe and Martinique He gives am
impressive description Of the ruins Of
st. Pierre, a hourishirg town which
was wiped out Of existence by q
volcanic eruption eighteen years ago.
The French are less strict in drawing
the color line than the English and
Americans; and as a result the people
o. Guadeloupe and Martinique display
lively spirit Of attachment to the
mother country.
1T is quite impossible for review
to do justice to work like Mr. Franck's.
which contains passages that deserve
quotation on almost every page. Roam

tainly the best travel book of the

Impressions Of N0roccn

~ ADNtSS, antiquity. great desert
spaces, vanished civilization, crum-
bling monuments: these are the
outstanding impressions Qf Mrs Whar-
tons book on Morocco. The Moors in
the Middle Ages were fully as advanced
as the peoples Of Western Europe in
the arts of peace and war But their
empires possessed 10 stability; one
dynasty after another MAS overthrown
by the assaults Of the wild desert
tribes. Consequently the traveller in
Morocco ScoS a curious blending Of the
transitory and the permanent The
everyday life of the people mas changed
little since Biblical and classical times.
But scattered through the country are
the ruined and half finished temples
and palaces which successive genera
tons Of rulers sought so erect Mrs.
Wharton seems TO feel the charm Of
the desert intensely.
"'rhc scenery is always the same;
but if one has the love Of great en-
ptiness and of the play of light on long
stretches Of parched earth and rock,
the sameness is part Of the enchant-
ment In such scene every land
mark takes on an extreme value. For
miles one watches the little white
dome of a saints grave rising and dis
appearing with the uNdulations OF the
trail; at last one is abreast of it, and
the solitary tomb, alone with its fig
tree and its broken well curb, puts a
meaning into the waste"
The author finds the scenes of the
Arabian Nights reproduced in the old
pirate town of Sale.
Everything that the reader of The
Arabian Nights expects to find is here
The whitewashed inches wherein pale
youths sit weaving the fine mattings
for which the town is still famous; the
tunneled passages, where indolent mer-
chants with bare feet crouch in their
little kennels hung with richly orna-
mented saddlery and arms. or with slip
pcrs Of pale citron leather and bright
embroidered babouchcs; the stalls with
fruit, olives, tunnyhsh. vague syrupy
sweets, candles for saints tombs, Man
tegnesque garlands of red and green
peppers, griddle cakes sizzling on red
hot pans, and all the varied wares and
cakes and condiments that the lady in
the tale of the three Calendars went out
to buy that memorable morning in the
market of Bagdad'
Mrs. Wharton infuses a spirit Of ex-
otto romance into her work. There is
something mysterious and ominous
about this strange land, swept over but
never entirely conquered by Romans,
Carthagi ginians, Nandals, Arabs and other
conQuerors. Morocco is a melting pot OF
Asiatic and African tribes Mahometan
and pagan rites are curlously mingled in
its religious observances. The fire of the
Arab is blended with the fierce stoliditv
Of the African. And the spirit of the
vast changeless desert broods over
everything. The minging of peoples in
a Moroccan town is vividly described in
the following brilliant word picture:
