Show Romance in Persia Tersia Is almost completely unspoiled un-spoiled by the machine age, says IUchard Halliburton in Cosmopolitan. Cosmopoli-tan. There are barely six hundred miles of railroad within its borders. Camel caravans, as in the days of the Magi who came from here, still bear nine-tenths of the commerce, and are still guided by the stars across the wilderness. These caravans car-avans must traverse a country sometimes convulsed by gorges and high mountains. Where there nre no mountains there Is desert But in the oases one finds gardens so lush and fruitful that they have inspired in-spired the poets down the ages. But It Is modern Persia that will attract the average traveler the roses nnd the nightingales more than the tombs; the beautiful, artistic people, peo-ple, more than the tumbled ruins. |
