35 <p 26 Women who spend their lives in the harems, never going out except when heavily veiled to the Mosque once a. week, or, rarely to visit other harems, came up on every roofâ€"top dressed in their glorious colors â€" greens, rose, wisteria, purple, blue, all the most: delicate and _ subtle shades of these colors â€" grouped about as far literally as the eye could reachâ€"splashes of color everyâ€" whereâ€"and formed a scéene operatic in effect. There were large family parties on some roofs, perhaps some guests as it was their Sunday. They sat on cushionms and slaves brought out tra}'s,"_ probably of the du menthe. e â€" her as if one shoulf apologize for inâ€" truding, were replaced by the stocky Berbers, belonging to the untamed Riff tribes. We really shivered .a little there in the square where a foaming, dervish and a man selling bright frursery pictures attracted equal crowds, attesting equally to the childlikeness of the peoples‘ minds.~ We were glad to retreat to ourâ€" safe . flowerâ€"surrounded hotel where we were lulled to sleep by "taps" from the various soldier enâ€" campments by which we were surâ€" rounded. i oas / In Fez we were housed in a beauâ€" tiful Moorish Palace which the Transatlantique companyâ€"each of whose hotels has, like every Moroceâ€" can town, itself; an individual charm â€"has turned into one of the loveâ€" liest and certainly one of the most unique hotels in the world. From the roof,â€" with the satisfaction of stage managers on a successful first night,. because it all came off as we had <told ourselves ‘it would â€"‘we watched the gorgeously robed ladies of the harem come out on their roofs to â€"enjoy the sunset air. â€"â€" Feeke Beyond the city which is a labyâ€" rinth of greyish white buildings, now and then a spot of green indiâ€" cated the hills and far away were the snow ~covered Riff. mountains with their savage untamed tribes. Could anything more fully satisfy the eye and the imagination ? â€" At sunset, by the time we had all the ladies and their likes and disâ€" likes sorted out, we saw the little prayer flags go up on the Mosques and heard the wierd long call of the Muezzins ring out and hang undisâ€" solved like a second flag unfurled over each graceful tower. & _â€"â€"To our painted surprise very few of the ladies stopped their chatting to pray, evidently feeling their hour of freedom too ‘precious to be used that way; though some gotâ€"out their prayer rugs and salaamed. But the men down in the street hurriedâ€" but no. hurried is too undignified a wordâ€"went majestically, rather, inâ€" to the Mosques, leaving their slipâ€" pers outside the door. All of it goâ€" ing on precisely as it has gone on for ten centuries or more, it made me feel more than anything else U P{ ESTHER GOULDSâ€" *L CGCORNLR, OH! FEZ could do the solemn dignity of Fez, the holy city, the thing which makes éveryone who has ever been there catch his breath a little when you mention it and say "Ohâ€"Fez." Now with that picture in my mind I have joined that brotherhood. P o ies RAYMOND & WHITCOMB COMPANY 176 No. Michigan Avenue Chicago â€" Tel.

CHICAGO SUBURBAN AREA GROWING FAST _ Dividing the suburban area by geoâ€" graphical Kocation, theâ€" study shows that the district comprising the towns from the Cook county line north to Chicaga‘s suburban area has inâ€" creased in population by more than 500,000 persons since 1920.. This graphic indication of the rapid develâ€" opment of that section of the Metroâ€" politan district lying outside of the city limits is announced by the Chiâ€" cago Associationâ€" of ‘Commerce. : The forecast announced for 1940 is 2,010,130. This is expectéd to climb to 2,600,365 by 1950. Thus, the estiâ€" mated gain for the entire suburban zone for the 30 year.period, starting with 1920, is expected to approximate 201 per cent. . Has Increased Moreâ€"than Halfâ€" Million in%Pog)uIation Since 1920 the state border of Wisconsin has jumped 71.6 per cent in population in 10 years. The .Federal census figure in 1920 was 132,831 against the 227. 910 anticipated by 1930. â€" _ The greatest expectations, accordâ€" ing to the Association of Commerce bulletin, are held out for the great industrial zone b_gg to the south of the city and taking in a big chunk of adjacent Indiana,â€"with Gary asâ€" its focal point.â€" This area, profiting by electrified suburban railway service, has increased its population of 244,â€" 848 in 1920 to almost 400,000.
