At this season, the fruit o0od present a glory of color .and fragrance which is in- describable. But because the ocasual visitor was not as careful as he might have been in merely admiring and not tasting, this wonderful collection can now be visited only by special per- mit. The splendor of the Hamburg EEEN Mr. J. Butler Wright, retiring Minis- ter of this Republic at Budapest, like nearly all of those.who spent their youth in the wild West, has & keen ap- preciation of good horsemanship. Not the least of the attractions of his mis- sion at the Hungarian capital was the all the ple and the marvelous riding which might be en- joyed at all times. Budapest is close enough to Vienna to permit Mr. and Mrs. Wright to visit the world-famous riding -academy, where, according to experts—and Mr. Wright is among these—equestrian feats quite as thrill- ing and perhaps showing & higher de- gree of 'manship those in the rodeos or wild West shows could be en- joyed at least once a week. In the Imperi- al Riding Academy of Vienna, Bedouins on their priceless steeds frequently ap- pear in the ring and give most amazing exhibitions, called locally Arab fantasies. Mr. and Mrs. Wright will visit their old homie here en route to the former’s new post. at Montevideo. Mrs. Wright is a ashingtopian, and as Miss Harriet Southerland, daughter of Rear Admiral William Henry Southerland, she en-| ped much popularity in naval and ocal soclety.

In addition to the two officials from the United Btates, who hold the most exalted role, it is probable that never before such a distinguished group of bankers concentrated on_ one enterprise. _ Great Britain has Hon. Reginald McKenna, considered _ its premier in banking lore, and from Ger- many has come the famous Dr. Mel- | choir, called the Paul Warburg of finance. M.

But| scholars interested in this saga spend | much time in the public library of Halifax, where is conspicuously dis- played the correspondence between the Cambridge poet and his Canadian friend Haliburton, the actual inspirer of the story. Longfellow wrote entirely from descriptions sent him by Halibur- ton, and eagerly studied books and maps | furnished from the same source. S0 | enthusiastic was the friend that Long- fellow began to write at once when all data ‘was in, and he did not take the time from his labors to visit Nova Scotis, as he had promised Haliburton he would do, and in fact he never set foot on the soil which he has made famous, whereby he gained enduring fame for himself. The usual procedure of those who study the subject intelli- gently is to pass several days in Halifax reading tire eorrespondence and the lit- erature which has grown about it and then to visit the actual site of the poem. | * ok x % | Mayor Walker of the mightiest city on this side of the Atlantic, and claim- ing to be the most populous in any country, can bestow & unique experi- | Black on Black Coats $497% t0 $9975 Attractive models, expertly fitted and flattering to the slenderizing silhou- ette . . . luxuriously trimmed in Cara- cul, Fox and Per- sian Lamb, affording the freedom of the harbor and the privilege of visiting foreign craft before docking.
