BOBBED-HAIRED GIRLS OF
PALESTINE,
YET MOST OF THE COUNTRY UNCHANGED,
(BY LADY ERLETON.]
Erleigh, a daughter of Sir Aled Hond and daughter-in-la of Lord Reading, here records her impressions of Palestine, which she recently visited.
I suppose there is nó country in the world where the names of the towns and villages, the hills and the rivers are as familiar to so many people as in Palestine. Jerusalem, Nazareth, Tiberias, the Jordan, the Jadean hills are names with which we have all beea familiar since childhood, and we have all formed some mental picture of them, as- sisted by illustrations to Bible stories, which mostly have not the slightest resemblance to the country as it is.
It is a strange feeling to and one- self actually in this same country- somewhat like meeting old friends in unfamiliar clothes. The thép- herds leading their flocks are there, yet one is surprised to find that they actually do lead them. And the curious, lop-eared sheep and goats are quite an unexpected flock, 50 different from the fat, woolly backed creatures of our own helds.
Beauty Of Bethlehem.
I had somehow never imagined Bethlehem as standing upon a hill, with a magnificent view for miles round over the fields where the shepherds watched their flocks. It
JS
a little village about half an hour by car from Jerusalem; amaz- ingly quiet and peaceful. The women are most picturesque, wear- ing red and blue gowns of some- what medieval character and the tall, white coif of the medieval lady, which they have worn, it is said, since the days of Crusaders." No other women in Palestine wear it; it is the fashion only in Bethle- ham.
Costumes in Palestine are as varied as the nationalities. There you see the Arab woman clad from head to foot in black, with a thick black veil entirely covering her; tho modern young Jewish immigrant working on the land with babbed hair and bare legs, cind in white shirt and black bloomers, and her counterpart, the young man in breeches with open shirt or Russian blouse. The old Jew in the towns with fur-trimmed cloak, and the Arab in his sweeping white går ments, on which he has possibly superimposed a Norfolk jacket.
Nowhere in this mixture of cos- tume and people better seen than in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a city of extraordinary fascination; within the old walls the city has remained unapoilt by any touch of modernity. To enter it you must pass through one of the gates and leave your car outside, for the cobbled streets are too narrow and too irregular to allow of any wheeled traffic. In parts it is like an Eastern bazaar, yet it is unlike anything but itself; built of stone with countless arches, it has eurious and very beautiful effects of light and shade.
By far the most impresive build- ing is the Mosque of Omar, stand- ing where once the Temple of Solomon stood, in the centre of a great open court planted with oc "casional cypress trees. Doubly im pressive is the space and quietude after the busy jostling crowds in the narrow streets.
No more beautiful sight can be seen than the view from the Mount of Olives at sunset; on one side Jerusalem, truly golden in the light of the setting sun, and on the other the purple hills of Judea stretching down to the Dead Sea,
The beauty of Palestine came as a surprise to me. I had not imagined it as a country of great beauty. Add to this the interest in the historic past and the interesti aroused by the re-creation that is going on all around and you have. o country which once visited, irre sistibly draws you back-Daily Mail.
HIS MOTHER'S PAST.
HOW A SON HEARD OF IT.
_JUDGE'S BITTER COMMENT.
Hong Kong Weekly Press
PUBLISHED TO-DAY
THE SITUATION IN THE NORTH DES- CRIBED IN TO-DAY'S HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS IS OF EXTRA- ORDINARY INTEREST. THE ISSUE OF PEACE AND WAR, OF THE UNION OR DISUNION OF THE NATIONALIST ALLIANCE IS IN THE BALANCE.
China is now at Peace and there seems a possibi
lity that the present armistice may be consolidated into a permanent settlement. Chang Hsueh Liang, the Young General, appears to be willing to meet the Nationalists half way but there is no question of a surrender or of yielding his inheritance from his father Chang Tee Lin. Feng Yu Hsiang has got toothache” and refuses to come to Peking. His movements are being watched with general apprehension in the
war area.
Marshal Li Tai Hsin has again left Canton for the North. He expects to be away for a month at least and to visit both Peking and Nanking,
Our Canton correspondent describes the present situation in that city. Though all is quiet pecial police precautions are being taken and exceptional vigilance will be needed by General Wong Shiu Hung and other members of the Government during Marshal Li's absence.
In Hong Kong this time of year is often described as the "dead" or "dull" season. Actually there were a number of interesting events in this week. The inquiry into the Kochote - tragedy ended with the temporary suspen sion of the master's certificate, and a special article deals with the question of West River Traffic. The Court of inquiry suggested that & Government inquiry be held into the conditions of that traffic and our contribu tor's investigations reveal "a number of unsatisfactory features.

A widow's story of persecution because of a slip in the past was told at Shoreditch County Court.
The woman said that seven years ago she was sentenced to nine manths' imprisonment for receiv- [ing stolen goods.
