r E MAT1N, ParlS.-Tne street
sweepers fold their arms and
rest from their fatigues when
- they see a lady arrayed in the
latest mode passing majestically
along the asphalt of the crossing OF
sidewalk. We noticed one recently
Her train was cloth of silver, and made
an excellent broom-a little rough, but
| for that reason better for sweeping
than birch twigs. The lady proceeded
on her way to the party, the taxi
chauffeurS disappointed in fare, and
soon she disappeared in the dusk OF
| twilight, all unconsciously performing,
with the aid of her dressmaker, this
work of the municipal street cleaners,
with skirt so long that it served as
a dust collector.
Yes, the long skirt Is again in FASH
ion. and our masculine hearts rejoice
at seeing women return again to more
feminine habiliments; to the dign1fled
and gracefully devised costumes OF old.

Encouraging
News for Tourists?
Falastin, Jaffa.-Under Notes for
Tourists" writer gives sketch OF
Nablus in a recent issue of the Pales-
tine Bulletin. In the first few lines
we read:
"The people of Nablus (ancient
Shechem) will not be pleased to see
you (the tourist) and you are likely
to have stones thrown at your head
in order that a pious Moslem may
have the joy of having beaten Chris
tan"
This is certainly very encouraging
propaganda for Palestine tours.
Cotton or Linen
Shirt Is Preferable.
Ell Nuevo Diario, Caracas--Nothing
is so essential for the daily garb as
a good shirt In these days Of enervat-
ing heat there is no alternative but
that a man must work in his shirt
sleeves, even when he is employed at
desk or counter, and though we may
not be able to afford European novel
ties of silk or flannel, we can still feel
that nothing is more appropriate or
more sensible than a good shirt Of
linen or cotton goods, If it is fabri-
Gated to perfection in its fit and style.
In such a shirt man is arrayed In
clothing that conforms to all the re-
uuirements of the weather, the fash
ion and the conventions.

Sunday More a Day
of Tragedy Than of Rest.
Ell TEMPO, Bogota tradition of
Sunday in Bogota is becoming more
and more that of a day of tragedy,
rather than a day of tranquility and
restfulness. Recently there were so
many traffic accidents and other
calamitieS that we have the space to
allude only to a few of them. Police
ambulances during the day several
times exhausted their supply of gaso-
line, so many more or less severely In
iured people had to be conducted to
the hospitals. Automobiles. however,
were not to blame for most OF the
casualties recently. One man was
mortally hurt by a stone hurled by a
companion after they had had some
libations together, and more serious
alcohol excess in the Club Escandon,
in the Las Cruces quarter, terminated
in a general alteration in which 80
were hurt, some of them gravely. The
increase in the accidents and disturb
ances occurring in Bogota on Sundays
Is alarming. Instead of holidays that
are welcomed and enjoyed. as Ia for
ner times, they actually are eeeoMing
days that are dreaded for the sorrows
and disasters that so often marx them.
