Casablanca. Morocco-So this is Africai
 A cold, damp morning every
 one in overcoats . and on the concrete wharf a native band ts down to meet us. It wears the bright red pantaloons, the lurid vests and fezes of the Zouaves we met in circus days. A French conductor
 puts 1t through the paccs. Cornets glisten in the morning sun; there is a snap and vcrve and a military quality about it.
 Overhead wings an airplanc, dip. ping and soaring and stunting. While upon the sea side of the quay. Arabs and Moors sleep in their bur- nooses, as though they were so many tents. On a trackway along the walls, cyclers follow q three or four foot path. A slip would send them into the water on one side or down to q cement finish on the other. Contrast fairly leaps out of the background-a plane, a native band and throng of men burdened with flowing robes in many colors. But this is a fortunate moment in which to land. for this is the eve of the Ramadan. And the Rama dan Is one of the most sacred of Moorish seasons.
 In a sense 1t is to the Moslem what New Year Is to the Americana. But it is based upon the rising moon rather than upon the calendar When the moon has appeared a cer- tain number of times, the town folk go to the walls and to the roof tops
 Throughout the day they watch, and they watch until the setting sun. Somewhere, hung in the sky, is
 such 6 crescent as to remind one oi all the Moorish symbols. But we ot the west couldn't tell in n thousand years whether or not it is in the right position or of the right size. Only the experts are able to an nounce the moment at which the Ramadan arrives.
 They do this by means of two squares of cloth. One is black and and one is white and they keep hold ing this against the light. When dawn comes the decision will be made. They will hold the black cloth and peer through it against the coming dawn. Then they will hold the white cloth and again judge the imminence of daybreak.
 And when that second strikes, DO guns--or it is 20?--are fired. At any rate 1t seemed like 50 when I was jared from q sleep by the fir- ing of cannon.
 Then, from what seems to be every section of the city. goes up 6 chanting and g. wailing of oriental instruments. The great fast of the Ramadan is on. Until the moon reaches certain point. there is no smoking and there is full day of fast; there is no play---but the shrewd natives go about their daily tasks.
 And each morning, no matter what part of North Africa one may be in, the dawn brings q booming
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-02-20

, of guns and the faint sound of voices engaged in solemn chant. When 1t it is all over, there is feasting and the cab driver again begs a cigaret.
 Meanwhile, you can play Dig hearted Charlie" and offer him as many smokes as you wish, with as- surance that he will smile but re- fuse.
 Meanwhile, too, the influence of the French upon this section of the world comes creeping in. Giant cranes and dredges go about their mechanical business of turning a primitive port into a modern water front. Sepia salves toll tire1essIy.
 For Casablanca is Paris wearing a feZ; it is Paris with minaret on it's buildings.
 It's old town is an old. old town
 . almost as old as time itself. And it's new town Is as French as a boule- yard, it's sidewalk cafes are covered with gay awnings and it's 1oungers sit at tables drinking "coffee fins,'' while the natives sip the heavier of coffees. This is the beginning of old Barbary--a beginning, and per- haps an end.

 Organized in the maIner Of the more legitimate mining gang and equipped with apparatus and tools for efficient mining, these individual miners can produce many tons of anthracite. some of which Is sold to trucksters who transport 1t to com munities within t50 miles radius of the coal fields, some of which Is for use in their own homes. and the re mainder of which Is sold to neigh- bors and friends.

 many remind us of the god Thor
 who was worshipped by the Norse- men ana who was supposed to make thunder by throwing q hammer. Among tho goddcsses of the Hit ittcs was the mother-goddess. She
 was pictured with crown, and the dove was said to be sacred to her. The Amazons --- warlike women of olden myths--- were supposed to be in the service of this goddess. The mother-goddess was called bY

 Some rI'ttites gave special honor to group of three deities. These

 shows 4 goddess sitting down while

 q god standing with each foot on

Eugene has sometimes been
blamed for the extravagances OF
fashion during her reign but those
who knew her best realized that
her own tastes were exceptionally
good. Very bright colors we're

tones. Pearl gray. sapphire blue.

vOrites, with white for evening.
The statement was sometimes
made that she lever were any

NEVER was the fashion
~ situation more inter
esting than it is now as we
approach the autumn OF 1881.
And whether or not YOU are
in whole-hearted accord with
present tendencies, and whe-
these or not you have a very
definite idea OF what these
tendencies really are, you
have, | am sure, sensed the
fact that radical changes are
taking place and that the
whole tempo of the dance OF
fashion has been very de-
cidedly accelerated. Styles
are changing more rapidly
than they have at any time
since the war, and dressing
in the mode during the com
ing autumn and winter i
going TO be full of thrills and
surprises.
Interestingly enough the mil
liners have taken the lead, and
the story OF the new coats and
dresses and accessories is to a
great extent a story Of keeping up
with the new fashion in hats.
Because there isn't any doubt at
all about the ultimate Gee of
the new style Of hats. To be
sure there may be some passing
objection this autumn. There
will be well dressed women who
will refuse TO wear the forward
tilted Eugene bonnets. Possibly
there will be a recognized reac-
ton against them. But in the
end the new. more picturesque.
more studied type of hat will win
out. Because at heart we arc all
of us weary of the sort of hats
that went before. Whether they
covered the forehead as they dill
a few years ago or left il starkly
bare as they did last autumn the
most that could be said of hats
was that they were smart and
simple and easy TO wear. These
new hats are coquettish. they are
even pretty. and they are varied
enough to suit apy type Of face.
They r more elaborate and
sometimes they are not so easy
10 wear. They must be adjusted
with extreme care and the Lair
must be arranged with precision.
Those charming snoods or side
straps that r sometimes used

side add TO the complication. and

the floor for daytime Ilthes,
with a slight droop at the back
for many of the afternoon dresses.
while dresses for evening touch
the floor or escape il only by an
inch or two.
Remember that the silhouette
accepted for autumn is slender.
Daytime coats are full length.
that is long enough TO w the
dress skirt, three-quarters or
seven-eighths length. The pro-
nounced flare Is a thing Of the
past but there is a gradual wild
ening of the skirt portion from the
waistline to the hem. Waisrlines
are well defined. though only oc-
casionally belted, and hiplines
remain slender. Width. fitness
or elaboration appear above the
waistline. Wider, deeper arm
holes, deeply overlapping wrap
around closing, generous collars
that stand we'll away from the
face. and sleeves that are slightly
full at the elbow-these are char
acteristics OF the new fur or cloth
coats that will surely RENAL in
favor throughout the autumn and
winter.
All this accents the slender
ness OF the waistline and hips
but II does il without distortion
or exaggeration. To ~ sure
many women are wearing form
molding foundation garments
but there is as little danger OF a
return Of the old-time tightly
laced corset as there was FIVE or
ten years ago.
Jacket suits OF course will be
important. both for autumn and
winter. And there r new
autumn dresses made with match
ing jackets coming just below the
waistiine or in finger tip length.
Many OF the French dressmakers
however have made their most
recent costumes with thrcequar-
ter length coats.
Much has been said abo-- the
new sleeves and the d~ressmakers
here and in Paris are undoubtedl.-
taking this detail OF dress more
seriously than they have for some
tine past. In dresses as well as
in coats armholes are given con-
siderable depth. Sleeves Of a pro-
nounced dclman cut r used in
a number of new French dresses
and this fashion will undoubtedly
be accepted with enthusiasm in
this country. AS a usual thing
the fullness of the sleeve is
greater at the elbow. In coats
as well as dresses there are three
quarter length sleeves that show
a gradual fare all the way down
from the elbow. while other
sleeves are made with the elbow
fullness brought into a deep cuff.
Short, rather full cap sleeves are
used in some of the new dinner
and late afternoon dresses. Pun
sleeves. made very short and full,
are also seen in dresses OF this
sort. They are especially attrac,
