The longer the stay in AdriaDople
the more the charm Of Its beauty
grows, a charm that + as great afOOt

Adrianople is a city that has the
tone Of country friendship about It.
not unlike a county seat Of the South.
The center Of the agricultural exchange
business Of Eastern and Western
Thrace, It is frequented by peasants
and traders OF Turkish, Greek. Bull
garian. Jewish and Armenian nation
alities. There is record of but one
American ever having done business in
the city, and he came here from Paris
and bought up all the brooms.
While no day knows what the next
day may bring forth in the way Of
political strife and crime, today tho
city preserves this tone Of friendship
and order. Strangers as they go along
the streets or visit the shops ara

and noise and poverty Of CONSTANT

automobiles.
Pride In Shabby 0entiiity.
| There are few ragged beggar
children who besiege the stranger, but
for the most part Adrianople endures
its shabby gentility with pride and
calm. Here there are none Of the
fallen houses and dusty streets which
characterize the majority OF the cities
Of Asia Minor.
Prayers are called from the nina

bazaars do a slender business in SELL

customers; or else when these are
