Buckleigh describes her impressions of the night clubs visited with an eseorted party of nine of the passengers from the ship, which stopped at Panama for the afternoon and evening and the following morning of the following day. "I must say,^ she writes, ''Panama lives up to its reputation, and more. The night clubs are whai you call real Montmarte affairs, ex cept for one thing — the girls. They are the most fascinating and beautiful creatures IVe seen — -half Spanish and half negro makes a wonderful dombination. Graceful features and marvellous figures, so beautiful that even as a woman oue feels like touching them to see if they are real or wax! We werit to | three f ifferen't grades. The last one too breath-taking, which rnade | tbe women shudder a little, but as j they saw, all is experience, and as i it cost me four dollars it was a great night out. ! "Panama itself fascinated me, parj ticularly the famous hotel, E1 Pana- ! ma, is the most wonderful Ameriean I n'ace I have ever seen or shall see, j We had breakfast there with high I nob Americans. It was like being j in HollywoodA . ★
