Von have stood on the steps of t.u* Tro* itb ro and g /• t on the bewildering vista a little of *v* 1 thing in your vision: towering Bu-slan spires; round-roofed Algerian |ia hitat ions ; thatched huts from Holland; Chinese pi godas; Baer farm liousa-; Indian tempi ornament* 1 wi:h fanto god in queere.-t c:‘ postures; (tie big lent •■•trial globe in the distance figured .11 over with more weird designs than ever j* ople.l in inebriate's dream; the Ferris wheel dis organizing. the distant skyline, and th** mighty Eiffel tower, only 1 few hundr* • yards away, looking as if i were only by accident that its summit is not curled in clouds.

Thereai>outs you hear ho wild barbaric chants, no torturing tintinna bulations of oriental cymbals or drums; neither are you cajoled by greasy-hued men to step inside .and gaze upon the gy ration* of veiled dan **rs. nnd you no long er feel yourself a shipwrecked mariner lost in on archipelago of side-shows.
