    VERA CRUZ WORTH VISITING
Mexican City Has a Number of At
tractions That Invite the
Wandering Tourist.
Vera ruz Is n city of contrasts. Its
vividly painted houses of red, blue nnd
yellow, built close to the narrow
streets, havo grated windows and
heavy, forbidding doors, which give
little evidence of the charming Inte
riors with their patios, palm-shaded,
Oiled with exotic flowers and cooled
by fountains.
Modern street cars look out of place
In the same streets with burros laden
with merchandise, fruits and vege
tables, and caballoros In their broad
sombrero, vividly colored blankets,
enormous spurs nnd silver-mounted
saddles. Even the troplcnl climate Is
In sharp contrast with the snow
capped, extinct volcano, Orizaba, which
towers almost 20,000 feet Into the cold
nlr above. Although this peak Is near
ly fifty miles away from the city. It
can be plainly seen from there and
makes a beautiful picture standing
white against the sky or cntcfilng all
the colors of the sunrise.
Another point of interest Is the an
cient fortress of San Juan d'UUon,
which Is built on an Island, connected
to the mainland at the northern end
by a long sea wall. It has a fair ex
terior, being painted a pure and radi
ant white, but hidden bencntb this In
nocent mantle are dark and noisome
dungeons where many political pris
oners of Mexico have been kept for
years.
Turning hastily from this unpleas
ant scene, gentle reader, let us retrace
our steps to the center of the city,
which Is marked by the plaza. This
Is a large and beautiful square filled
with palms and flowers, and watched
over benignly by the ancient and
stately cathedral. Every evening dur
ing the band conaert It Is the quaint
custom of the youths of Vera Cruz to
promenade nround the squnre on the
outside of the walk In one direction,
while the young girls, carefully watch
ed over by their duennas, walk In the
opposite direction on the Inside. In
this way most Mexican flirtations are
begun.
KNOW ALL ABOUT WEATHER
Animals, in the Construction of Their
Houses, Show They Can Fore
f ' tell the Seasons.
The weather man has co-partners
In the prediction of a had season In
the wild anlmnls who qualify as
weather prophets for the experienced
out-of-doors man.
"Trappers believe firmly In the abil
ity of wild animals to forecast weath
er conditions," says the Hunter-Trader-Trapper,
published In Columbus, O.
"The type of house which the musk
rat builds for the season Indicates the
kind of weather he expects. When
the muskrats build large houses, with
thicker walls, n cold winter Is to be
expected. If the houses are made un
usually high, much snow and high wa
ter will come. ,
"Just before a storm, all animals
are unusually active and traVel fast
and far. Even human beings notice
a difference In their feelings just be
fore a storm, especially If they are
troubled with rheumatism or other ail
ments of a like nature.
"It Is reasonable that nature has
provided animals with a sixth sense
for forecasting weather conditions
which mean so much to them."
Desert Compensations.
For all the toll the desert takes of
n man It gives compensations, deep
breaths, deep sleep, and the com
munion of the stars. It comes upon
one with new force In the pauses ot
the night that the Chaldeans were a
desert-bred people. It Is hard to es
cape the sense of mystery as the stars
move In the wide, clear heavens to
risings and settings unobscured. They
look large nnd near and palpitant, as
If they moved on sonYe stately serv
ice, not needful to declare. Wheel
ing to their appointed stations in the
sky, they make the poor world-fret of
no account. Of no account you who
He out there watching, nor the lean
coyote that stands off In the scrub from
you and howls nnd howls. Mary
Austin, In "The Land of Little Italn."
Not a Stlckup.
While motoring In Tennessee on a
lonely road one night we were being
followed In a machine containing flvo
colored men. They kept uncomfort
ably near us, and nfter a few miles
we motioned them to pass, hoping they
would speed along, as we feared a
possible holdup. Instead of continu
ing on, they stopped directly In front
of us, and when one big black fellow
asked us to stop our hearts were al
most at a standstill. However, we
breathed easier when he said: "Will
you-all be bo kind as to lot us have n
little gas? We sho can't mako It to
town, fo' we am about out." Ex
change. American Pearls,
There Is a species of green or Iri
descent pearl found occasionally In
the abalones, or ear shells, of the Cal
ifornia coast. Black and gray pearls
are found In Lower California waters ;
iviittn. nlnk. brown and other colored
pearls In some of the fresh water
brooks of Ohio, Tennessee, Texas,
Kentucky, and Wisconsin; purple nnd
black pearls arc sometimes found In
the shells of the common clam of Long
Island sound nnd the Atlantic coast
The principal pearl fisheries of the
world are Ceylon, the Persian gulf,

NO EXCHANGES
tiy IZOLA FORRESTER.
(. 1920, by AcClure Ntwipaper Syndicate.)
There would be plenty of time to
mnke the exchange, Evelyn reasoned
to herself, before the bill wont In to
Lnurle. The lawn party was the 10th,
and she could take the gown back and
mnko tho change the following week.
He would ho nway until the 28th, any
way, so there wasn't n ghost of n
chance he would Qver find It out.
Yet sho hesitated and went hack to
look nt the temptation several times.
It hung on a model In the showrooms
upstairs at Allalro's, the sheerest,
daintiest hand-made lingerie own In
peach-blow tint with a crush girdle' of
deep-toned velvet nnd undersllp of
satin. ,
She knew she could take her black
chiffon hat and make It look right,
and there would bo a saving, for she
had planned on a hat, too, besides a
cheap little dress that would "got by" '
at the lawn party.
The Idea of the exchange had come
like a blessing. They had an account
nt Allaire's, one she had never over
stepped or presumed on, It hnd been
so precious in times of need. By tak
ing the peach-blow gown sho could
wear It for two dnys, just to the lawn
party and for tea on the Wninwright's
terrace Sunday afternoon. Then on
Monday she could go back to the store
and could exchange It for n sensible
blue serge suit that Laurie would np
prove of, aud this would tide her over
for early fall besides.
There wore no alterations. She had
mado sure of that, and she ordered
the gown sent home over the. tele
phone bravely. It came just before
dinner. Hugging the long white box
she ran upstairs to try It on nnd was
Just pluming herself before the mir
ror when there came the sound of
wheels outside on the graveled drive.
She held her breath for fear It
might be Laurie, but Instead thoro
came a full-toned genial voice that
sent the color back to her cheeks. It
was Laurie's Uncle Sandy, tho sole
hope she possessed In the line of In
heritance. Slipping out of the gown, she put
on a plain linen dress nnd hurried
to greet him.
"Never mind If he Is away," Sandy
said when he heard of Laurie's ab
sence. "I'm going to stay a couple of
weeks with you'. The air up here, al
ways does me good, and I like your
cooking, Evelyn. Don't notice me n
bit. I'm going to get an axe and cut
some wood for you to tone myself up
a bit."
It hnd been her very first social In
dulgence since their honeymoon, nnd
every minute at the lawn party
seemed happier than the last. She
knew people were looking at her and
asking about her who had never been
aware of her existence before, and
Inter on Mrs. Walnwrlght compliment
ed her as they sat oyer their coffee
after dinner.
"You always seemed like such a lit
tle brown wren," she laughed. "I
didn't know you cared for pretty
things."
Alice returned home Sundny night,
nnd Monday morning, while Uncle
Sandy was safely out of earshot, she
called up Allaire's, and asked them
kindly to call for the gown, as she
had decided to exchange It for a suit.
"No exchanges on that, Mrs. Buell,"
said the clerk. "I'm sorry. It was a
special model."
She hung up the receiver In a daze
of consternation. No exchanges, and
she had n $05 charge, with only n lit
tle perishable lingerie gown to show
for It. Before she knew It she had
laid her head on the mahogony hall
stand and wns sobbing miserably. It
had been so perfectly senseless and
reckless of her, Just n piece of child
ish vanity to nppenr In the gown when
she knew she couldn't nfford It. And
she did need a suit badly. So did
Laurie need a suit, and there was the
interest to meet and taxes. She heard
Uncle Sandy's cough before she knew
he was standing staring nt her.
"Well, girl, did you got bad news?"
he asked cheerily. "Mustn't take on
like that? Is It anything happened to
Laurie?"
"Uncle Sandy," she said desperately,
"I've done something terrible, and I'm
pfrnld Laurie won't forgive me."
Brokenly sho went on explaining while
the old Scotchman listened, his eyes
keen nnd hnmorous. "You see, It Is
the deceit that he will despise me for,"
she cried. "And I deserve It, too, for
being so silly."
"So you do," he agreed. "But It was
a mighty neat-looking frock. I thought
so myself when I saw you walk out in
It, and I was proud of you, and Laurie
would have been, too."
"But we can't possibly afford It,
Uncle Sandy 1"
"No, you can't, but you'll have to,"
he said firmly. "I'm not going to give
you n check, either, to help you out.
You'd best wear It and do without the
suit, but I'll help Lnurle so ho doesn't
feel the loss of it."
"And I .will have to tell hlra?"
Evelyn begged. "It might break down
all tho love and faith between us."
"Toll him," he said kindly. He'll
love and trust you the moro for It.1
Ho wrote the check Blowly, nnd then
patted her shoulder as tho tears rolled
down her cheeks. ,
"Twos a bonny frock," ho said
gently. "Run put It on for Laurie.
Ho Just 'phoned, from the station. 1
dont' believe In coercing any Judge,
but you can persuade them some
times."

THEED'S FEET
By LILLIAN CYR.
a it
(. 1920, by McClure Nwippr Syndicate.)
Feeling buoyant with oil the confi
dence nnd nssuranco due to n young
mnn lu his first long trousers, Theed
Laurence, Jr., -stood before n poster
calmly surveying tho announcement of
tho sophomore high school dnnce.
Although he hnd a perfectly good
looking pair of feet, and took lessons
from an excellent mnster, Theed was
In the nwkwnrd squad when It came to
dancing In public. It was very nat
ural, therefore, thnt he should suffer
himself to lose a bit of his confident
bearing when he saw that Anita WI1
kins, the new girl In town, had ap
proached him so quickly thnt they
were greeting each other directly In
front of the poster.
She stopped nnd looked nt tho fate
ful announcement. "Ohl It will be
on Friday evening I" she exclaimed.
I'd love to go, but 1 don't know any
of the boys here," she added wistfully.
Immediately the boy defended tho
lone girl. "I'll take you," he said.
It. was now Friday evening, nnd
Anita and Theed wore approaching the
school. "Tho grounds and rooms wore
ablaze with light. Theed was fright
ened nnd miserable; he had an lden
that the evening would be disagree
able. Anltn was chatting gaily, all
unconscious of his nnxlety; but when
they had reached the hall and sho
left him to take off her wraps, he
breathed more freely.
The school's military bnnd was play
ing nn accompaniment to gay laugh
ter and the rhythm of dancing feet
the dnnce was on.
Theed groaned Inwardly as ho
thought of the last time he had come
to n school dance. ' By his clumsy
dancing he had sent one couple spin
ning over a settee.
He wns brought back from his hor
rible reminiscences by the reappear
ance of Anita, who sweetly snld that
he could have her first dance.
"Miss Wllklns," he began, hoarsely,
"I really don't er or think I real
ly don't think I'm feeling well, nnd If
you will please er excuse me "
Anttn feared he was 111, nnd offered
to sit out the dance with him, but ns
be would not hear of It, she reluc-
tnntly allowed herself to be led away
by Fred Marston.
Theed lied to tho cement wnlks on
the grounds. Why wns It that he
could dnnce without a break when he
was nlone and yet not be able to
tvhen he reached a hnll? He tried Mt
out on the wnlk. He danced smoothly
nnd enslly. no became encournged.
He would try It on the floor with the
other dancers that very night. How
ever, on second thought ho decided
that If he should make n break he
would not want to humiliate Anltn,
nnd therefore he asked another girl for
the next dnnce. His trial dance work
ed! He could dnnce in public 1 And
with such n good dancer ns Anita he
was sure that hts dancing would be
even better.
He wns Just about to nsk Anita for
the next dance when someone on the
platform announced that two prizes
would be awarded to the best dancing
couple of the next dance number. The
prize for the young lady was n white
silk bag with pink piping, nnd a mem
bership enrd to the schools exclusive
Bllllken club. The prize for the young
gentleman was a membership card to
the Bllllken fraternity nnd n frater
nity pin. Theed hadn't sourcfsd on
this, nnd he wns again about to flee
when he saw Anita looking longingly
nt the lovely, plnk-trlmmed favor. He
now noticed that the pink just match
ed the ribbon on her dress. She turn
ed and looked at him in the same w!st
ful way as on the day ho had asked
her to the dance. His ebbing courage
remounted, nnd ho crossed over to
her. "You'll have your pretty bag," he
said, with smiling assurance. Ho
would show people that he could
dacce. The flash and pop of the mili
tary band suited his mood, obstinate
and resolute, nnd that of Anita, who
was determined to win tho whlto silk
bag with tho pink piping. They dart
ed nimbly In and out among the throng
of dancers. On nnd on went the dance;
on nnd on whirled the competitors.
Almost abruptly the danco came to
an end. There was a general turning
of heads toward the band platform as
the judges stepped Into tho hall to an
nounce their verdict.
"The prizes for tho best dancing of
the evening are awarded to Miss Wll
klns and Master Lnurence."
After receiving tho prizes they were
greeted by great applause, and the
prize winners were made to perform
a dancing skit by the admiring crowd,
which was promptly encored and en
cored. They were walking slowly toward
her street. "You dance wonderfully I"
she exclaimed.
Theed was watching the stars and
fingering his fraternity pin. Would
she? He wondered If she would. He
hold up the fraternity pin, mutely seek
ing her eyes ns they vere' passing un
dor a corner light.
"Will you wear It for me?" he snld
hesitatingly.
Sho bowed her head In silent con
sent, nnd suffused with a sudden Joy,
ho pinned It, his hands trembling, on
her whlto dress.
Ho was a trifle dazed as he left hci
at her gato by tho brllllanco of hit
success, no paused for one breathless
moment under nn elm tree near the
sidewalk; then ho took n long breath
nnd turned, n chnmplon dnncer, ex
ultlngly home.
