TWO-Minute
Journeys
BUENOS AIRES

CosmopolitaniSm in all its myr'
lad aspects is the keynote of the
beautiful capital of the Argentine,
that city by the turgid river Plata
that is fast being discovered by
tourists seeking something diff.
ferent.
And, make no mistake, it is diff.
ferent, this Buenos Aires that not
too long ago was not much of a
city, but definitely much Of place
that combined the worst features
of several places, including muSh-
room mining camps.
Low, muddy, marshy land and
river flats have been reclaimed
and dredged and there has been
built an Arabian Nights dream
city. A dredged canal, II miles
long, leads to the dock system. At
night the canal is brilliantly
lighted. Huge masonry entrances
guard the piers and the whole en-
trance is most impressive, a fore
taste of what awaits us.
For right at the docks are bright
open-air restaurants very different
from the tumble-down eating
places that are to be found at the
water fronts the world over.
Soon the taxi emerges into the
brilliant Avenida de Mayo with its
grand buildings, shops and hotels.
A block away is the Gale Florida,
shopping street de luxe Of a de
luxe city. So crowded is this thor
oughfare that from o'clock in
the afternoon until 8 o'clock, all
traffic but pedestrians are barred.
The street is thick with happy,
laughing crowds, the clubs, bars,
tea rooms are thronged. A great
English store has a magnificent
branch on the Gale Florida and
its tea room is one of the most
popular places in town. Thrilling,
this mile Of street, an entertain
ment that never lets one down.

There is no nobler profession

claim that one should ever
whip a child in anger"-phooey!
