CAIRO'S SOCIAL SIDE.
NO EGYPTIAN SEASON THIS YEAR.
London Times and Sydney Sun Services. (Received Febi 6, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 5. | A Cairo report says there will be no Egyptian season this year. There are few tourists and no rich Americans. There will be : no processions, dances, or race meetings. Most of the hotels are closed, yet the city is animated enough through being militarised. There was a time when non-commissioned officers and men, especially colonials, gathered at the two principal hotels at all hours, but latterly there have been restrictions. The conduct of the British and Australian troops is admirable. One wonders why no British tea-rooms are opened, if only for the benefit of Australians, woo are tea-drinkers par excellence.
