London Crowd Benefited by Woman’* Enthusiasm Over the Ending of the Great War. 4 , During the peace rejoicings one night in London several guests stand ing at the upper windows of a West End restaurant began to throw roses down to the crowds packed In the street below. A woman In evening dress, after throwing out numbers of roses, took a bracelet from her arm and tossed It to the lajoplc. following this with a «4ing from her finger. Then, after throwing more roses; she took the ornaments frnin her hair and threw these also into the strug gling mass of people below. Aa elderly man at an adjoining win dow threw out several spoons and forks/ and then, finding nothing else at hand, threw an apple which was deft ly taught and promptly returned, striking the window dost by, but. for tunately. without breaking the glass.

New York.—Constantinople is des tined to become the “Chicago of Europe," according to an interview authorized by Mr. Lucien Irving Thomas, a director of the Standard Oil company of New York, which com pany has extensive Interests through out Asia and the Balkan states. Mr. Thomas lately returned from a visit to Europe. “I learned, while In London, that I had been elected president of the American chamber of commerce for the Levant,”’ said Mr. Thomas. “I refer to the newly-organ- tzed American -section of the chamber, now maintaining headquarters in New York. It will co-operate with the long- - established chamber of the same name which has its^^eat in Constantinople. “The organization of this chamber is a timely movement to promote re ciprocal trade relations between Amer ica and that great area—extending frofti Egypt to Russia, and from Per sia to Italy—of which Constantinople is the center. Gateway to Vast Empires. “Very few people appreciate that Europe and Asia meet at the feet ot Constantinople," continued Mr. Thom as. “The chain of waters, the Dar danelles, the Sea of Marmora and the Bosphorus, made available for free commerce, oj>en the gateway to vast empires of populous and fertile terri tories beyond. When we realize that Russia, a country’ considerably more than twice us large as the United States, has few seaports that are not Ice-bound for the greater part of the year, except those, situated on the Black sea, we may Imagine what enormous traffic will flow through Con stantinople when Russia, with a hun dred million of her people nearby, gets Into her commercial stride.” ‘“Then consider Roumanla, now with twice her former area—a country of great natural resources, with a pres ent population of 1^.000,000. Bulgaria too. noted for a sthrdy and Industri ous population, has her, commercial outlet on the Black sea. And even on the farther side of the Black sen Is a group of states which eventually must occupy an Important place In over-seas trade. “Jugo-Slavia, now vast In area by comparison with Old Serbia, tylth substantial natural resources and a population of over 14.000,000 has, of course, one trade outlet via the Adri atic. and another via the-Dagttbd-TO the Bla'ck sea. Without any doubt the Danube is soon to play a much more Important part In fhe trade of the Balkan states than It has ever done in the past. Has Natural Wealth. . \ “Both Jugo-Slavia and Greater Greece will hold a more important position, than now in the Levantine trade of the future. Egypt is growing into a land of commercial significancor While certain territories have been detached from Turkey since the war, there remains muelr fertile and valu able. land. Turkey is rich In minerals of all kinds. “The war and Its aftermath upset' exchange throughout the Near East, and-this has made commercial trails-* actions difficult for the present. But the natural wealth is there; and a population for the most-part industri ous. .'Trade must surely grow. “A high official of an International bank, one who is recognized as having unusually, broad and accurate knowl edge of Ottoman financial matters, stated to me at Constantinople that in-Turkey fnlly do.000,000 in gold is hoarded by the people in ‘stocking-leg banks,’ and not deposited at alt with the public bankers. In this connec tion It should he remembered fhat tbe oriental mlfid Is accustomed to think, financially, in terms of ‘bard money,’ and^tbat prior to the European war only gold and silver were in circula tion. to'anyextent, in Turkey. There is evidence that great private wealth exists there toddy, in gold,, silver and jewels, not to mention other valuables, and this wealth will come into the current market as trade returns to •normal. . . », • "The Levant, offers a splendid op portunity for the investment of Ame lean capital, in a wide range of en terprise*. One of the great openings, of the present is for the construction of dwellings, warehouses, harbor Im provements, and so forth. Constantl-. nopie alone has lost 25.Q00 to 30,000 houses by fire since the war began, and affords a magnificent opportunity for housebuilding activity. I know for a fact that the Turkish authorities would welcome anyone coming .there for the purpose and that they would even be glad to offer concessions. The prevailing spirit Is progressive. Mod ern Industrial equipmeht, toor is now sought where formerly It was shunned. I recall that a long time ago. prior tP* the coming Into power of th^ Young Turk party, a business cablegram was intercepted by the Turkish authorities because It con tained an offer to import some elec tric dynamos capable of 1,900 revolu tions per minute/ The wily adviser of Abdul Bamld Is said to have thrown up hla hands IgA-the suggestion and remarked with some heat that. Turkey, ‘had enough revolutions on her hands at tbe moment without encouraging these new-fangled trouble-raisers/ ' Opportunities Are Great. / “Constantinople now has an Inade quate system to provide substantial harbor 4 craft for use” in the waters around Constantinople. People living on the other side of the Bosphorus lack sufficient facilities for commuting to Constantinople. “The development of roadways on the European side of the Bosphorus is another matter for business enter prise. If the Bosphorus Is not the most beautiful body of water in the world, I should like to know where.lt is to be found. A proper driveway along the shores of the Bosphorus would rather tax the memory of a world-trav eler to recall anything more charm ing. “Opportunites for housebuilding and other forms of construction are open in the other cities of the Levant as She Admitted It. Tennyson and Browning should have been present the other after- math. They would have found what the 1 } themselves strove to be. A woman in one of the government .deprxrtments has been writing verse for about a year, having suddenly found out that she has some aptitude along that line. In showing her work, some one ex pressed surprise that she was writing verse. ■ V , 8 “I didn’t know you wrote poetry,” he said. -“-“t The woman smiled sweetly: “Oh, I write jterfect poetry,” she said.—Washington Star. well as In Constantinople.

It was at its height in the latter part of the Eighteenth century, and the play there was enormous. It was not uncommon for the losses in a single night to amount to upwards of $100,000. The young men, dandles all, who lu- tende'd to play set about .the matter with a great deal of ceremony. They wore straw hats with wide brims, flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims intended to keep the light from their eyes, and that the spectators might not see their emotions they often wore masks. They also often took off their Tiiffies and silk or satin coats and wore in their place a rough great-coat or else wound leather bands about their arms to^ protefct-4he delicate lace and hues’of their coats from the soil of the table. •. v. 7‘ , S>4.
