TRAVELETTE By NIKSAH AVIGNON For a place of such great reputa- ' tions. Avignon is perhaps a bit disap-1 pointing at first sight. If you have driven over in the early morning, the broad white road lies flat and feature-1 less before you, dusty under a south- | era sun. its white powder taking the gloss from the leaves of the languid overhanging trees. Avignon begins to spring up about the road, isolated country houses first, that thicken rap idly to a city. The same road leads you ; to the Place, the public square In the heart of town.

I ciless sun of morning in all its dust | and emptiness. There are pretty little i shops and cafes nestling into the shel- i ter of the large buildings about it. but the shops are half-deserted and the waiters flickering their napkins me chanically over the little round tables on the sidewalk wear a bored and sleepy air. Early morning is evident ly not the ideal time to see Ovlgnon. But the thing that makes Avignon famous is not the old square with its [dust and shops and martial statuary, j | A few hundred yards away is the palace | i where a whole line of popes lived and | reigned six centuries ago, when the central power of the church moved for a time from rtome to Avignon. The old papa! palace is one of the most remarkable buildings in all France. It gives a tremendous impression of solidity and strength. There is little ornament about it, in striking contrast to most of the old architecture of the AUGUST 5, 1916. j neighborhood, but the great buildings | seem as enduring as the rock on which | they stand. From the top of the rounded hlll dome you see the roofs of Avignon spread out below like the model of a city. The country about slopes away in long waves to the green valley of the Rhone. It is a peaceful restful vista that brings to mind all that has been written of the "pleasant land of Jfrance."
