PLANS FOR FLORAL EXHIBITION AT ESSEN.

BERLIN (U.P.). Berlin in winter. Streets and boulevards embroider ad with endless piles of dirty snow. Shivering groups of people waiting on wind-swept corners for street cars and omnibuses. Traffic "cops" and newspaper hawkers wrapped to their chins in layers of coats and sweaters. Electric trains overdow- ing with Berliners, young and old, on their way to the ski jumps, to- boggan slides and skating ponds of the suburbs. Steady streams of miserable, unemployed, homeless men, making their way to the muni- Ecipal warming houses."' Such is

Berlin in the grip of winter.
