AX interesting visitor in Palenr is Mrs. Warden Jones of Panama, who is the guest of her mother, Mrs. L. M. John, of the Fairgrounds load. Mrs. Jones I-; the wife of Lieuten ant Jones of the I'nited States cav alry, stationed at an important army post near Panama city, and from nearly three years passed In this place she is giving her friends many delightful glimpses- of life at first hand drawn from both a military arid a social vtvwpoint. The presence of distinguished of ficials of the former witn their at tendant glamour of gold lace and experience-offers an ample basis for a real society, quite beyond the us tal small-affair sense of the word. Society in its broad, and liber?! meaning requires first the coonera ation of persons who have approxi mately the same culture (In the non Germanic use.) who speak the same? language, understand one another's point of view, and have the same manners that is, have the same ta boos. Then to prosper society must have sufficient money and leiure to make the mingling of such socially eligible persons both possible and agreeable. Panama city, with its liberal sprinkling of army men, and th$ thirty adjacent military posts . fur nish these very attributes, and In consequence the social life Is describ ed as a particularly gay one. The handdme club houses. Span ish casinos are Meccas for affairs of every description, the wives and fem inine members of tht? of f ieers' .house holds -seeing to it that the program cf entertainment is constantly filled to capacity. There are teas, bridges, receptions, dances afcd daily swim ming in the ocean. Xearly all the women ride, and many are expert horsewomen. Soldiers are drilling constantly-, and recruiting goes on continuallv. ?.!en are being called from time to time info actual service and with this ever present reminder of thi4 present worlds' conflict one is most surprised- to learn -that Red Cross work and knitting have only very recently! come in for especial atten tion. Mrs.' Jones finds the dork colors of Ihe north a most welcome change from the eternai1 white or khaki of the tropical country. The dre--s suit of the army officers is of white duck or similar material with a sug gestion of black on the cap. pongee is :bout the only silk msiterial that can be used tn Panama, the climate making the wearing of all other kinds impracticable. Harsh silks tall to pieces in the shortest time: Satins, chiffons, eGorgette crt-pe, un dergoing a kind of decay that is best explained by using the word "melt." Crepe de chines wilhptand the at mosphere better. All clothes closets must be kept lighted with electricity, not for the light, but to counteract the damp ness. Furniture likewise suffers from the atmosphere. Lacquers, var nish or veneer crack and fall ff: the ivory plates loosen from the pi-, ano keys and what-instruments there are have 1een especially made, and then to insure keeping them in a us-ablo conditions an electric lieht I ulb must be kept burning in their inner recesses. The officers with families are pro? ided with furnished houses, and the furniture is necessarily almost en tirely of wicker or willow. Flowers of every descriptioi bloom in a riotous profusion of, viv id color, and In every yard handsome palms flourish. But the strangest and most beautiful tropical floral product Is the parasitic growth of crehlds in the tree tops, the same ns our- Inistletoe. These are secured at great risk by the natives, the plants growing only on decayed por tions of the wood. They are Bold to the white populace who willingly pay frm a dollar and a half to onj thousand dollars apiece for the gor geous Ainted blossoms, the ones at the latter price necessarily being of great rarity. t The heat Is described as beig In tense the year round, swimming In the glass-smooth Pacific luring hun dreds during the htttest hours. An- e ther most singular thing about this,. r,untry of (to us) singular things is the effect which the climate has np different constitutions. Snm grow orerlv corpulent, while others become walking sJiadow. .Mrs. Jones expects to return to Panama about the middle of - April nnd will go by wav of Xew York city, the journey taking '-less time over this route than over the direct wes tern one. Via Xew York and the At lantic it will requie eight days, whilo sailing from S:in Francis:-o take forty days, this requiring the longer j.eriod owing to frequent stops.
