THE CENTRE REPORTER, CENTRE HALL, PA, Prepared by National Geographic Soclety, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service, DINBURGH, focal point of many tours through Scotland, is sin gularly, if austerely, beautiful, The city is a honeycomb of massive stone buildings rising to heights that made It the Manhattan of the Middle ages, some of the walls 80 thick that long afterward elevators could be installed without protruding into the rooms. By all precedents and guide books, the Edinburgh visitor should head straight for Castle Hill. But to some, the first thriller they ever read, “Doc tor Jekyll and Mr, Hyde,” still Is the most vivid tale of Edinburgh. So they hunt out Brodie's Close, dank and dark to this day, though not so evil smelling as when {ts dual denizen, Deacon Brodie, was a Doctor Jekyll by day and a Mr. Hyde by night. Pause before entering the close—you would call it an alley—and the mind's eye converges Into n swift news reel of events along the history-encrusted Royal Mile, into which it opens, Grand Dame Eleanor, countess of Stair, leaps from yonder window (still in full view) to escape a tantrum of her violent, if husband, Down a “wynd"” whispers one hag to another gossip from opposite seventh stories, the ancient walls leaning like two Pisas. Dainty Miss Eglintoune, later Lady Wallace, skips across the way to fill a kettle from the commu nity well. Hoydenish duchess of Gordon rides a sow she had captured under a neighbor's while her more dignified the animal with a stick Only the backbone street enough for carriages In ladies and gallants were borne In se dan chairs by stout Highlanders Into the side arteries for teas and Burghers’ wives, in silks or Scotland's fine wool, shopped for jewels In base ment cubbyholes, or tb laces at tiny hoot blue-blooded, “forestairs,” sister belabors was wide those days: calls the balconies reached by ta pe forestairs of nearly every tenement They were jostled by countrywomen in green and crimson homespun, and by sailors from ships that brought over cattle and tallow fromm the Low Countries, The Lawnmarket Sector. Jrodie’s Close opens now, as then into the Lawnmarket sector of the Mile, where Scotland's parilament once ordained “all cotton claith, white and grey; all Iynning claith is to be sold there and in no uther place.” Open stalls and canvastopped booths, dis playing bolts of cotton and webs of linen, were besieged as are bargain counters today. About you remain the “lands” or tenements of the days when a city wall pressed to an altitude and com- pactness like the lower East side In New York. Of course, your memory can disregard time and bring events of centuries into instant focus. Toddling aristocrats play with rac- ing ragamuffins. They scurry at the approach of a party of Knights of France in glittering armor, their pen- nants flying, on their way to a tour nament to compete for the coveted king's prize, a golden lance, One day Mary, queen of Scots, spirited in spite of her ill.omened re ception at Leith, rides by on a white palfrey, a tiny pearl crown nestling on her high-dressed hair. Twelve courtiers, in black and crimson, carry a canopy for her. At Netherbow she halts to receive the keys of the city ; she extends her little hand for the provost to kiss. The sun suddenly emerges and glistens in her white satin gown. Quick-witted, she utters an impul- sive greeting, “The sun comes out with me, Master Provost” The city is hers; from mouth to mouth passes the cry, “God bless her bonnie face.” No Place for Night Strolls. Ten o'clock; the tavern and clubs disgorge their crowds. Everybody rushes for home.

Lar for captious Johnson, complained, “1 could not prevent his being assalled by the evening effluvia of Edinburgh.” The residents of fashionable St. James court were thought very aloof and squeamish when they engaged a pri- vate scavenger to remove their refuse. Today all Edinburgh is equipped with a modern sewage-disposal system, and even [ts narrowest streets are kept im maculate, From Brodie's Close steals a steal thy, sinister figure, all wrapped round in a black coat. Beneath its folds he clutches a pistol and a ring of keys, Furtively he enters this shop and that. Earlier in the evening -any evening for several years—a most respectable town councllor, who also was a deacon of the Guild of Wryghts and Masons, attired In immaculate tail coat and breeches, might have been seen lean ing against a door post where some mer chant had hung his keys while he was at his tavern.
