Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Sept. 12.
(By Mail) The E'ay of Naples may
brag of its necklace of diamonds, but
n the harbor of Rio de Janeiro at
right the bay is belted with diamonds
and Sugar Loaf mountain even boasts
cf a tiara. Elactric lights are real
ly superfluous as first adds to "beauty
here. Even the roseate splendor of
.1 sun swooning in a crimson sea, the
gold equlgcnce of a harvest moon or
the gleam of amyriad tropic stars
' can enhance no further the already
exquisite charm of this South Amer
ican Dream ""'ty.
' With a lavish and partial hand na
ture has poured all her splendors, at
Rin's feet. Colorful mountains' of
rock jut abruptly out of a sapphire
sja whose waves kiss sands as white
as alabaster. Verdantpalm fringed
val'ejrs shimmer at the Vase of jun
gle covered hills. Irrddescent hum
ming birds and gorgeous butterflies
feast at the hearts' of vivid tropic
blooms and sassy little swallows and
blue and green Brazil birds play tagj
in the sunshine of Rio's' midwinter. ;
Surely, Rio deserves he palm when
when it comes to natural beauty and
shD got it, oo, whent ,.';'.
and got it, too, when Dom John VI.
ft Portugal brought the first fcnpcr
il palm from the Isle de 'France m
1808 and planted it ' where :1t now

; high above the (Botanical Garden .
Thanks to Dom John, these are pal
ay days with many palmy ways in
Rio now. Massy rubber trees 'spread
their glossy dark green leaves In- a

If you have' the nerve a car on this
