GAY IN MOURNING.
ADDIS ABABA'S WOMEN. ADDIS ABABA. What is left of Addis Ababa is a city "gay with mourning." Ordinarily the women of Ethiopia wear only white. Only in case of mourning is colour worn —pinks and greens being the most common. Now, owing to the casualties of the war and recent disorders, many of the women of Addis Ababa are wearing coloured dresses beneath their, white shawls. Although the cause is sorrowful, the effect is pleasing to the eye.
