Town-ley-Fullam : "Pastoral Hungary has features all Its own. It stretches across the vistas of the Great IMain In the region of the Hortobagy. There is the genu ine original Magyar, the Sentaur-Ma-zeppa, who, like his sires of old, that rushed Alexander on the plains of Sog dlana, rides like a devil of the twi light; eats, drinks, sleeps on his small, tireless charger, and chokes with pure delight In lust of life and rush of wind. The long white 'gatya' no pen itent sheet the embroidered sleeve less waistcoat, the plumed or be-rlh-boned hat, the gorgeous mantle, the deei-bovled pipe, mark this tanned r.acchaiialian cavalier more surely than dot's the anthropologist. He cultivates no circus trick, but lie and his horses are Fmmasoiis in one craft. There is nothing spectacular in this man's work nor annals. His blood brother, the shepherd of the night, sus tains himself on sheep cheese and milk nnd in his lonely vigils could still do service to astronomy. The Queens land squatter has no such run as the shepherd of the plain, whose vistas are wide, illimitable and peaceful. "What may In the psychological keynote of a pastoral nnd peasant jKMjpIe, shepherd kings, whose whole coriMrate national life lias been one long test of endurance that in the end has tired out Turk, Teuton, Slav, and even Destiny herself? A musical, wine-loving, hospitable race: warm, generous end combative; proud and vain; dowered with the curse of Ueu ben, with a total incapacity to unite on great issues and the power to tight on any soil but his own. -Imagine this people, its gods still the bards of the victor's camp, cut off from all the world we know by its Turanian tongue, whose beauty chained the admiration of Cardinal Mezzofanti (who is said to have spok en fS languages), but maintaining its own as a minority by sheer force of character in that strange Pentecostal mosaic of race, creed, and caste which until recently held the Danube and the Central Hain as Austria-Hungary. "Imagine a virile stock which can still sit and tlrink, can fall into gleam ing frenzy as its harp or picture-post storms a delicate imagination with breathless deed ; a race which com bines the Buddhist " aversion from ac tion wiili the Celtic instinct of oppo sition; improvident, lavish, naively charmed at the courtesy of the stranger; simple, with the barbarian lust of pleasure to the eye; sensitive to its inmost chords to gentleness a passionate, dreamy nuy of fatal ists; tlie true Asian mystery." MOROCCO: BANDITRY THERE A PROFESSION The 1'iilft mI States has had diplomat ic dililcultics in recent years witli the people or northern Morocco where Spanish armies have just scored their greatest success in sustaining the col onial power cf Spain in Africa. Some insight into the kind of people with whom the Spaniards have had to deal Is contn!nMl in the following commun ication to the National Geographic so ciety, concerning Kaisuli, "the Villa of Moro vo, whose raids" caused polit ical crisis In Spain. Ho cotild not bear to hear a child cry, while on several occasions I no ticed his care even to avoid allowing the hoes collected in his cup to drown." Is the surprising statement, not of a friend, but of the wealthy American who was hehl for ransom by Kaisuli in Ii, until President Itoosevelt sent u Meet of warships and his famous ultimatum. 'INgrdicaris alle or Kaisuli dead.' to Morocco. "In many respects the man inter ested and attracted me in spite of all my natural motives for dislike." con tinues the writer. Ion Perdicaris. "Kaisuli was at once so gracious and dignified, not to us only, but to his own wild adherents, who evidently idolized their chieftain, whose posi tion among them seemed that of the head of a Highland clan in the olden times. "He was quick to see the humorous aspect of a situation, while his repar tee was as Immediate and to the point as though tie had been born in County Galway itself. In fact I discovered to my consternation that I was begin ning to like the man in spite of my natural resentment. I found myself unconsciously accepting his contention that he was not a mere brigand or cattle-lifter, tint a patriot struggling to rescue his Herber followers frorrj the ty ninny of the corrupt shereetlan offi cials. His charm of vohe, the nat ural poise and dignity of Ids manner, his self-control under provocation, all betrayed a superior character. "In fact, this strange experience while in camp witli Kaisuli at Tsarra iJan began to assume an aspect of un apny rem ' 1 expected nnd Idyllic charm. The life of tlie natives ;the little touches of more gentle human character; the tiny child who offered me fruit, which I at tirst declined, until I noticed the ex pression of disappointment and mor tification upon the boy's face, and then the radiant and almost ridicu lous satisfaction of the little fellow when I pretended to enjoy his half ripe offering; the many attempts of the wild people about me to propiti ate me; their curiosity as to our own manners and"customst as when one venerable inhabitant of the village led me gently aside to inquire why we walked so energetically up and down the village green. Tor health's sake,' was my reply. 'Indeed?' said the old Mohammedan, and may I -ask Ikjw many such dally turns, up and down. It may require to keep a Christian in good health!' all afforded matter of Interest and reflection. "Kaisuli was confronted by the prob lem as to what disposition he was to make of the seventy thousand silver Spanish dollars which he demanded for our release. Here at Tsarradan there were no iron safes, nor so much as a house with a. cellar, while th thatch of skaff, or dried reeds, the only rooting of the houses, offered but poor security should he leave so much coin stored in a village where he him self wns but a transient sojourner. "At last the mules bearing the sil ver dollars, carefully packed in boxes, arrived and the bullion was counted. I was summoned by Kaisuli, 'The silver,' he said, 'has been counted twenty thousand dollars, as stipulated, in Spanish dollars; but these letters,' showing me as he spoke a check book .containing certified checks on the Com tolr d'Kseompte, the French bank at Tangier, 'of the value of these, which are supposed to represent fifty thou sand dollars, I know nothing. How ever, I will accept them on your per sonal guarantee, but on that condition only. "When I had examined the checks I gave the required assurance ver bally, and Kaisuli, leading me to the door, where I found my horse wait ing for me, bade me adieu, saying that he had learned to look upon me as a friend, and that he hoped I cherished no ill feeling on account of my deten tion. He furthermore assured me that should any danger menace me in the future, that not only he himself, but any of the men of the three tribes under his orders, would hasten to my relief. "Thus I left him, and pushing on as rapidly as we could we were soon in the midst of a large armed escort which had come from Tangier to see us safely home." KIACHOW: THE FIUME OF CHINA Kiachow, China, was seized by Ger many in 1S07 and captured by the Japanese when the latter entered the World war in 1914. Its permanent disposition has been the subject of wide discussion, especially in the Uni ted States because of our historic friendship with both China and Ja pan. Now dispatches state that a Japanese representative at the first meeting of the League of Nations an nounced that his country is ready to prepare for the transfer of this ter ritory back to China. Following the murder of two (Her man missionaries in 1S97, Germany employed her retaliatory seizure .of Kiachow as a means of obtaining an indemnity and a 99-year lease on Tsingtau and tin? bay of Kiachow. She gave the name of Kiachow to the en tire German concession, which is not to be confused with the nearby city of the same name. The concession in cludes the German-built city of Tsing tau, outlying towns, and the bay, which has a narrow outlet into the Yel low sea on the west coast of the prov ince of Shantung. Tsingtau illustrates aptly Germany's pre-war methods of getting a foreign foothold in anticipation of her dream of world domination. The setting of tiiis effort lay in a province conspicu ous in Chinese history for 4.0HM years, and revealing traces of pre-Chinrse inhabitants. For Shantung was the birthplace and teaching field both of Confucius and Mencius. Then also the Boxer movement first was directed against foreigners. lint the harbor of Kiachow, appar ently. Interested the Germans more than history. It is considered one of the best along the Chinese coast, and to have a stronger natural defense than Fort Arthur. Hack of the city rise hills as high as l.otH) feet and a range GX feet high dominates the harbor. This range was utilized by the Germans for forts where they mounted powerful Krupp guns, commanding every point of land and sea approach. When the Germans completed their defenses Tsingtau was considered one of the most strongly fortified ports on the globe. All tills protection was not to be afforded a tishing village and a none too busy harbor. Natives were per suaded to move, and the lessors built a typical German city on the site of Tsingtau. They also renamed this city, calling it Chlir.-tao, but the older name clung to it. Streets were laid out, and given Genna names. German banks, Ger man industries, including breweries and German hotels were established. No otlier postoihee than the German one was permitted to handle foreign mail. Germany not only obtained Indemni ties and the 193 square miles area and bay describe!, but mining and railway concessions. Shantung has fertile, well cultivated lands', coal fields, deposits of Iron, gold nnd other metals, and small diamonds are found. A railway was built to Chinanfu. con necting with Important inland line BOKHARA: STRATEGIC CENTER OF TRANS CASPIAN REGION Keported nervousness, ou the part of the Bolshevik leaders at a grow ing restlveness under Soviet Institu tions In the region of the Caucasus, raises the question whether similar conditions may not be present in Bok hara, just across the Caspian sea. where plots and counter plots have followed one another bev.ilderingiy during the last few years. Bokhara, dusty and tawny In tone. Is nevertheless a colorful city because of the striking costumes of the male inhabitants. The women, clad In som ber tones and hiding their faces be hind horsehair veils which resemble window screening, avail themselves of a protective coloration which enables them to move like shadows about the ancient city. Hut the Bokhara male, be he Usbeg. Sart, Persian, or Tajik, utilizes all the colors and tints of the solar spectrum in his costume. Bokhara is an Important religious center."" It has :G4 mosques. With a practically unknown railway running south to the Afghan frontier, its lo cation In the midst of Central Asia gives It a strategic Importance that Is little 'appreciated. The Khanate of Bokhara has an area about equal to that of Utah, but with four times the population. Since the outbreak of the war, Its fortunes have varied. Fart of the time it has been an Independent khanate, showing Its prerogative by taking up the rails of the Trans-Caspian railway whUh passed through its territory. Several times It has been under the control of the Bolshevik forces. The Amir had a picturesque army of about 11,000 sol diers, many of whom carelessly lounged along the stone passageway which lends up to the Ark, or castle. On this incline, In front of the royal residence, formerly there was enacted every Friday morning a ceremony -pressive in its dignity and dazzling In its color effects. Hundreds of sol emn mullahs, clad in bright silk robes of stick candy stripes or gorgeous gol den suns on purple lields, belted with silver, and with buckles' as large as salad plates, gathered here in Impres sive rows, each with a priceless prayer rug beneath his feet. These were not the dashing types which once made Mohammedanism a power from Mecca to Gibraltar but the ceremonialists - whose religion Is a thing of dignity and prosperity, founded on trade rather than a life in the saddle. In unison they bow low so that only broad backs can be seen, but a moment later all are erect with their spotless wMte turbans the most prominent feature In a scene so colorful that only an Oriental sun could harmonize it. Bokhara is architecturally unimpres sive but nowhere are there more at tractive Oriental bazaars. Iirass smiths vie with goldsmiths to add the glint of glowing metal to the half light of the covered souks and there the makers of peculiar Bokhara caps display their brightly colored wares, the edges glistening with soft furs from Siberia. hondurXsITand of rivers and big DEBT Honduras, least developed of the five Latin American countries which are now considering the formation of a "United States of Central America," Is a country of hills' and valleys; of rain and sunshine; of large and small rivers. A half dozen rivers may be crossed in one day, and while they are usually narrow and shallow, a few hours' rain will turn them into roaring torrents, absolutely impassable. A traveler may be held up for many days by a stream that when he first crossed it was less than three feet in depth. Honduras Is said to be the most 'backward of all the Central American republics, and she will remain so until railroads cross the country and the government becomes stable. Then there "will be great opportunites there for many, and Americans and Ameri can capital will always be welcome. The country is just a little larger than the State of Pennsylvania, yet It has a population of only a little more than half a million. It has the largest per capita debt of any country on the face of the globe except New Zealand at least it had before the present Kuropoan war upset all statistical con ditions. It owes J?220 per capita. Most of this debt was created by loan-shark methods, however, for Honduras would agree to pay SK) to get one or somr such ridiculous proportion. The natu of the country Is said to be derived from a Spanish term mean ing "depth," the early explorers hav ing found difficulty in striking water shallow enough for anchorage. They were so delighted when they reached the Nicaraguan shore nearby that they called the headland "Cape Gracias a Dlos" (Cape Thanks to God) a name it still holds. As a rule, the night will be spent In a native house, sometimes little more than a hut. built of mud. thatched or roofed with tiles. One is apparently always welcome to the best the house affords; but a hammock as part of the traveler's outfit is n necessity, for the beds of stretched bull-hide or canvas are usually fully occupied, if not by those at whose homes you are a guest, then by other residents greatly to be feared. Everybody sleeps In one room men, women, and children together. Your hosts are curious, but polltery so, watching you undress nnd get into your hammock, with a calm stare that must not be considered impertinent, for a white man Is not an every-day visitor. One learns seldom tt und res completely. LACE DRESS STYLE Paris Dressmakers Are Success ful With Dyed Fabrics. Darkey Greens, Deep Browns, Rust Reds, Golden Yellows and Deep Blues Favored. Apparently one need have no fear in buying a lace dress that will soon become old-fashioned as far as lace is concerned, at any rate, states a Paris correspondent. Tills Is extremely gratifying nt this time, because new things have sprung up overnight like mushrooms to such an extent during the last few years that we are glad to have something to which we may pin our faith, if It Is only a party dress. Hack of all this lace agitation Is a well-known propaganda In behalf of the French industry, and this propa ganda has been launched at a time when the market is almost bare of merchandise. It is, therefore, not to sell goods now, as there are few laces to be had, but it is to create a move ment In favor of laces in ordqr that when the new stocks are ready the world will be clamoring for them. Among the most Interesting fea tures of the present fashions arc the dyed lace dresses. Early last summer there was ovId"'? ot a strong revival of lace through the launching of many black and white lace dresses nt the spring and sum mer race meets. Deauvllle In .Tjily and August also proclaimed the i vogue of lacei but it was left for the ' Paris dressmaker to spring something new at the opening of her season. Witli lace on the crest of the wave these clever creators of novelty clothes brought out lovely dresses in dyed laces of the darkest greens, deep browns, rust reds, golden yellows and deep blues.

As the winter season advances, brighter and prettier arc the dresses that are worn, which is as it should be. .A pretty bright costume is cheer ing on a lull gray day. For instance, an attractive brown taffeta dress, with a tucked vest of the same fabric, is made with an eton effect and a belt of bright-colored ribbon. A blue taf feta dress has a waist which suggests a basque, with seams piped in silk. It is slightly shirred in at the waist !ine to adapt It to a girlish figure. Ited wool is used to outline the neck. The skirt has six bias bands, which are sewed around at the top, but each band is left loose at the lower edge, which adds grace to the skirt. This dress would he pretty made in navy blue satin. Another blue silk dress is made with a round yoke of navy blue georg ette crepe, which extends as a band across each shoulder and down the tops of the sleeves. This georgette trimming is outlined along the edges with bright green silk machine stitch ing. A dres which combines brown vel vet and brown wool jersey has an nccnrdinn-plcated skirt of the latter worn witli a hip-lensrth jacket of brown velvet edged with wool cord In orange tones. The same wool cord edge forms buttonholes for wool but tons of orange color. This overblouso has set-in sleeves of the velvet. A dress of blue velvet and satin Is this winter's fashions one must have a dyed lace dress, and while Mack and white laces nrv still very fashionable, the newest thing, of course, is the lace dyed in one of the new colors. THE WINSOME TAM AND SCARF A tarn and scarf of angora is charm ing for winter weather, as the model here demonstrates. NEW NET AND LACE DRESSES Embroidered in Color, Made Over Contrasting Foundations, Both Youthful and Attractive. In their effort to add further nov elty to the lace" Idea the Paris dress makers launched strange kinds of com binations. For instance, blue serge dresses are trimmed with blue lace, usually in an opposing shade of blue, as navy blue serge with royal blue lace. Dark green velvets are com bined with green lace, rust-colored brocades with rust lace, and so on through numerous combinations the clever Paris maker varies the lace idea. Net as well as lace dresses are made in simple chemise effects. Straightline dresses of white net em broidered In color and made over con trasting foundations are both youth ful and attractive. One of Cheruit's big successes lias been an orange lace dress. Madeleine et Madeleine have repeated many times a model made in. dark bottle green lace, and Callot Soeurs consid er their rust-color laces the most fashionable offering of the season. It is hut natural that nets should follow in the wake of laces. They, too. are oftentimes bright colored. If, however, they are black they achieve the necessary brightness by embroideries, which may be red or copper lined. i Care of Silk Waists. White silk shirts and waists washed in warm suds, rinsed in water of the same temperature, wrapped in a hath towel to absorb the extra mositure, and then pressed with a warm iron, will not turn yellow for a long time. Avoid exposure to strong light while drying and really hot Irons, for both tend to turn white silk yellow. Startling Colors. Startling colors appear to be the most distinctive note in dress trim mings this season. Klaborate em broidery designs of oriental inspira tion, with tinsel thread worked in with rich colors, are most popular. trimmed with touches of blue wool embroidery. Pockets on the skirt have thistles or corn flowers of blue clipped wool used with green wool stitching. FASHIONS IN BRIEF New Paris footwear Is elaborate and makes much use of straps. A new vogue in blouses combines crepe de chine nnd knitted silks. Flat velvet flowers are applique on chiffon and edged with flat Jet beads. Pastel-colored felt hats are trimmed witli flowers In striking color com binations. Frocks of blue tricotine have col lars of black satin which button high around the neck. Five and six-Inch laces, dyed any preferred tint, are made up Into charm ing evening gowns and dancing frocks. Crepe meteor, crepe de chine nnd all silks with crepe surfaces or weaves are In high favor for frocks for next spring. Wool jersey cjoth Is one of the pres ent season fabric leaders for sport blouses end smocks. The trimming most used is heavy embroidery, which may be done In wool, chenille or woolen beads. The new net veils are very large, large enough to swathe the hat and hang down the back. They are coarso and open. The smartest are the square mesh filet or octagon shaped tish-net veils with a border of chiffon. The favorite colors arc brown and ta ". m. v a wi .v aar--. v kP7 I f in N&X ill SYMPTOMS WOMEN DREAD Mrs. Wilson's Letter Should Be Read by All Women Garfield, Pa.
