Is the easternmost city of th western hemisphere and is railed the gateway to South America for Europe-SoutAmerica-bounaviators. Pernambuco state, of which the city Is the capital, and two other states, make up the northeastern shoulder of their continent To Brazilians, the city is known as Recife. If a line were drawn from Pernambuco due north, it would just miss the western extremity of the Azores and intersect the latitude of New York city nearer to Portugal than to New York. Dakar, westernmost city of Africa, is only half the distance from Pernambuco that Liverpool is from New York.

Many of its inhabitants are descendants of the Dutch and Portuguese, both of whom once claimed the city and Pernambuco surrounding country. owes much of its progress to the Influence of these races, who fostered agriculture and commerce. The old section of Pernambuco shows Its Portuguese origin In the varicolored plaster-facebuildings that line some of the narrow cobblestone-pave- d streets In the downtown section; while here and there steep gabled houses and business structures recall the quarter century of Dutch occupation that began ten years after the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. Until a few years ago, large oceangoing boats had to anchor far out in the harbor.

While people the atate spreads over an ares, greater than that of the United States, nearly every great imputation ceuter lies on the Atlantic coast. There are ten Brazilian cities with more than 100,000 Inhabitants. Of the first four, Rio de Janeiro, Sao I'aulo, Pernambuco (Recife), and Bahia (Sao Salvador), only Sao I'aulo Is inland Rio de Janeiro, the capital, contributed nearly 1,500,000 people to the census enumerators' figures.

Here Is an Illusion from an Arabian Nights dream, a magic superclty never built by man. Look at those amazing mountain peaks that rise from the sea. They cannot be of this world; they are unreal, like a landscape on the moon pictured through a telescope. To enter this great world port you walk down the gangplank and straight out Into a formal garden with a big bronze fountain. This leads oft Into boulevard which In a Fifth avenue-Uk- e turn flows into a wide, world famous beach drive, past embassies, clubs, and mora palms and geometric gardens. Dingy docks, pawnshops, pool halls, julck-andirty cafes, cheap rooming bouses, touts and runners, dirt, smells all the trash and claptrap of many other water fronts, are missing here. Rising fully 1,200 feet and almost straight out of the sea, Sugar Loaf, lofty sentinel of the Klo harbor, Is easily the city's outstanding landmark. Incoming air pilots, If half lost In fog or rain, hall Its familiar outlines with grunts of relief. In a queer aerial trolley a dizzy trip which Is a supreme triumph for the nervous you can reach its top.

In 187b the ball of commercial progress started rolling among the Inhabitants, and newcomers were instilled with a boom spirit In slightly more than fifty years the city has Increased in population from 20,000 to nearly 900,000. New streets that were built were made broad and straight and flanked with modern buildings. The railway depot, municipal and state government buildings, museums, libraries, schools, and some of its new business buildings would be flattering additions to many cities of the world of the same size. Three huge public gardens and more than fifty parks break the monotony of the miles of streets. Sao Paulo might properly be called the city that coffee built Many of the palatial residences are those of coffee barons." In Sao Taulo streets huge trucks, heavy carts, and perspiring men laden with sacks of coffee are always within eyeshot Coffee was not Introduced Into Brazil until two centuries ago, but the price of coffee now largely governs the rise and fall of Sao Paulo's prosperity. While Ethiopia Is the original home of coffee, Sao Paulo state has adopted the greater portion of the descendants of the original coffee berries. If all the coffee plantations in the state were in one plantation, it would cover an area as large as Delaware and Rhode Island combined. In a single year more than one and a quarter million pounds of coffee are produced in the stafe. There are more than seven coffee trees, for every man, woman and child In the state, v . .

As a result, Pernambuco has become in a short time one of the important gateways to eastern Brazil. Sugar, tobacco, lumber, fruit, cotton, rubber and coffee that once graced the backs of mules, now flow Into the city by rail In vast quantities. More than forty sugar mills In the capital city attest the state's sugar production. Textile mills, shoe, soap and lock factories are also there. Most of Pernanibuco's business Is carried on In the old section of the city. The city market perhaps strikes the fancy of Americans more than any other feature. An abundance of rich, luscious tropical fruit is everywhere to be seen. Bahia Has a Fine Harbor. Bahia, which contributes about 330,-00- 0 to the census figures, was the first Portuguese settlement founded In Brazil. To Brazilians it Is Sao Salvador. According to the letters of Amerigo Vespucci, he and his followers spent several months In All Saints bay in the neighborhood of. Bahia during the early years of the Sixteenth century. Bahia was not officially recognized by the Portuguese government, however, until 1519 when the first governor general of Brazil set up a colonial government there. Bahia was the capital of Brazil from that time until 1703 when the government was removed to Rio de Janeiro. The harbor Bahia faces Is one of the finest on the east coast of South America. Vessels from many world ports are anchored offshore, while smaller boats with local cargoes come and go like "schools" of water beetles. The traveler's first Impression of Bahia, as he sails up the harbor toward the city, Is that there are really two separate towns. A congested settlement hugs the shore line, while on a cliff in the background, 200 feet above the roof tops, the fringe of another settlement Is visible. In the narrow streets of the lower town and among the bordering warehouses porters, perspiring freely in the tropical hent, spend their days movlrfg cargoes of cocoa, tobacco, cotton, sugar, rubber and fruits, all products of Bahia state, brought to the port by railroad trains and donkey carts. The customs house, depot and offices of foreign firms Interested In Bahln commodities also are In the lower town. Most of Bahla's cocoa, the largest exportable product of Bahia state. Is shipped to the United States. Upper Bahia is reached by elevators, steps and 'winding roads. Here and there in the narrow streets of this portion of the city, sky blue and delicate pink houses, some of whose plastered fronts are deeply pock marked, take the traveler back a century or two In Bahla's history. But within a stone's throw of these districts there are wide modern thoroughfares, lineil with One shops, banks, theaters, office and government buildings. A park or a garden now and theti breaks the monotony of the solid rows of masonry. half-nake- d high-wheel- Sally Sez " OUR CHILDREN NICHOLAS E 8B I SJ 3C - S J- ' .

"No, "'""r WITU a it--4' 'v' growing of what the art of good dressing really means, women who "know" will consider none other than the hat, the gown, the accessories which "do something for you" more than serving merely as wearing apparel. When it comes to a fabric which performs miracles in the way of doing something flattering for you, such as harsh lines, softening accenting charms, while it minimizes defects until It takes years from one's appearance, it is generally conceded that velvet has no compeer. Which readily explains why designers of this day and age are seeing to It that velvet be kept In the style picture the whole year round. Paris adores velvet as a summer item. In creating the newer costumes the best couturiers seldom lose an op portunlty to complement sheer and summery frocks with the most ravishing and colorful little velvet Jackets or capes one may ever hope to see. if not a cunning wrap, then bows, girdles and furbelows of velvet play an effective contrast to the dainty organdies, chiffons and such which fashions milady's wardrobe for the coming months. Tne lovely models In the Illustration convey some little Idea of the perfectly charming things leading French designers are doing with velvet The three wraps are I'atou creations.

One adorable nightdress of palest pink chiffon Is pleated from yoke to hem In clusters, emphasizing long slender lines, with fullness released below the knees. There's a deep yoke of the finest of silk lace which is tinted the same delicate pink as the gown. Double puff sleeves of the lace are held with narrow bands of the chiffon, and a narrow sash belt ties at the back. The separate Jacket scheme turns the nightdress Into a tea gown, and Is proving very popular.

A PEACEFUL ROOM I WOULD give a child a peaceful room where he could go to rest and feel himself safe and still. I like pretty rooms. I like color and the forms of lovely things. What I fear In the children's rooms Is the fussiness, the' crowded activity that Is in the decorations. Children like animals and Mother Goose rhymes. They like the pictures that suggest these old friends. But do you think It is wise to paint the walls of their rooms with trumpeting elephants, charging lions, spouting whales and fairy goblins? 1 don't Those pictures please the grownups but I am not so certain that they have a good effect on tired chil- dren. If there Is a playroom whose walls can be dressed with all the animals from the zoo. well and good. Decorations that caused no ripple of thought in daytime stimulate fear in the shad ows of night In my experience such things are best kept out of the child's sleeping room. If there ts to be a frieze let it be a gentle scheme, soothing and serene in its atmosphere. A clutter of toys is out ot place in the child's sleeping room. We want that room to express rest, peace, quiet Disorder makes one restless and a tir?d child Is restless enough without adding anything to Increase his fatigue. Every object he rests his eyes on stimulates him anew when we want to shut off ail stimulation and Induce sleep. Have the sleeping room com paratlvely bare, of soft color, serene atmosphere, and II will do Its full share in restoring peace and quiet to the child who so much needs them. The lighting of the room Is very important It is unwise to ailow light to shine in the child's face. Some arrangement to soften the limn and still allow plenty of air to cin ne aboi. the room Is needed. The bed itself Is the chief article of furniture. Have It as near as possible. That means a rather right hard firm mattress, a flat pillow. If any and lightweight warm coverings. The and spring are more Important than the frame. Spend the money for ihem and take a sturdy simple frame that will stand up against hard usage Simplicity ought to be ihe keynote of decoration in the children's rooms The simpler the better. Color ami line and mood are not expensive but they i essential to the peaceful restful room a child needs for a good night's sleep.
