to his African kingdom The French capital fairly outdid Itself m in the entertainment of o Its royal guest And yet iet et It Is believed that the th Prince did not ha have hae ba e the thoroughly

smoothly smooth paved streets street v while hil In AddIs Abeba there ther is if not a thoroughfare that thatIS thatis thatis IS passable for wheeled vehicles did not make him any less lc s confident of the su superiority of his home homo town as ai a place to live The snorting taxis and the sWIft bin lim limousines of Paris Pans got cot badly on his nerves and to several se friends ho confided his belief that the on which Abyssinia depends almost ex n exclusively elusIVely for transportation are really a si much safer and more morea inor a dignified means of getting 7 about about Abeba There is no doubt that Addis I Abeba is 8 ona one of the most beautifully beau beau- cities in the tho orld It ft stands in a forest foreit of eucalyptus eucalyptus 1 trees in a wonderfully wonder wonder- wonderfully a fully picturesque valley that is nealY two miles above sea lea level The Imperial palace has electric lights and other modern improvements improvement and its Ita lt table sere

all his life One thing thine that disturbed the th Prince a good deal during dunne his bis stay in Hi Paris was was the curious stares that were directed at atthe atthe the tho clothes worn by him and
