Damascus, an overgrown oasis on the edge of the desert, still lives and breathes the atmosphere of the Arabian Nights, while not far to the west a new summer colony develops on the cool heights under the shade of the cedars of Lebanon. American visitors are always Interested In Beyrouth because the college on the promontory overlooking the Mediterranean that has educated many of the modern Near East leaders of every creed Is an American college. Syria still has the lure of the unknown; unknown religions, undiscovered cities of the past, unexplored Crusader castles, unexcavated fortresses, secret societies, and races. where the expedition Damascus, stopped for several days en route to Bagdad, Is located In southwestern Syria. It was old In the days of Abraham. When Babylon and Nineveh were hamlets, Damascus was a queen city of the East. It Is still a city of Importance, but the advent of the railway has crippled the caravan trade. Steamships on the Red sea transport Mecca pilgrims as far as Jidda whence they can easily reach Mecca. For North African Moslems this obviates the overland voyage from which Damascus was the starting point, and the city suffers a consequent loss In pilgrim trade. The bazaars of Damascus, more celebrated even than those of Cairo or Algiers, reflect the change brought by modern transportation. Prints from Manchester, machinery from Birmingham and talking machines from the United States now crowd the market. In Damascus each street Is devoted to some special trade and all the shops on that thoroughfare sell one type of little-know- n article. Bazaar better-go-roun- Three-fourth- i Street of Damascus. The silk bazaar has a wide scope In Its merchandise, as Its products run from lengths of silk and harem veils to kafflyehs, the flowing headdress of the Bedouins. The shoe bazaar has boots of goatskin dyed red and yellow with heels of camelhlde. Wooden sandals are Inlaid with mother of pearl for wealthy women customers. enough the Curiously famed Damascus blades are found In the Greek bazaar. They are a rarity now, and It Is fitting that they should be found In a bazaar devoted to antiquities. However, the Damascene is a wily merchant and gullible tourists Imsometimes purchase 'antiques and oriental from Germany, ported art from Birmingham. The old clothes bazaar Is also known as the louse market and this appellation reveals Us consequent neglect by tourists. It Is always a center of activity for the people of Damascus and Arab and Jew haggle over the comparative worth of burnooses and kafflyehs and occidental bnsiness suits. The venders of food and drink are not limited to one bazaar. They stroll through the streets crying their wares. One may buy Turkish Delight, a famous sweetmeat, lemonade, raisin water, pistachio nuts, pomegranates und licorice water. The venders cry to heaven that Allah will bless their customers. A sweetmeat vendee declares that his wares will make young womA drink-selle- r en beautiful. avows that his lemonade will cheer a downcast heart. Other claims equally exn travagant are assigned their wares by the itinerant merchants. Most frequently Is heard the cry, Ya rezzak!, which is translated, Oh God, send to me a customer. A commercial center of Damascus Is the the Street Called Straight, made famous by Saul of Tarsus. Here In former days walked emirs of Arnby, khans from Bokhara Tunisian beys.
