According to Glen Seno, Japan Air Lines district manager in Los Angeles, a fall vacation in Japan should include nocturnal visits to parks, gardens and temple grounds where, 'on late September evenings, the insect concerts are held. As twilight dims into darkness, old and young alike assemble in some soft-lit, leafy glen. Each bears a tiny cage of highly polished bamboo, containing one of a dozen different varieties singing insects. Perhaps some have caught the insects at home in their own gardens. Others have patronized the insect seller who wheels his cart tiny dangling cages through the streets, walking silently while his living wares advertise themselves in nearly every key of the musical scale.

The high point of the festival is the freeing of the insects. A hush of excited anticipation hovers over the crowd as each caee is opened and a liberated in- sect finds a ereat new world before him.

The ruins of the Pont d' Avignon where everyone sang and danced revive childhood memories of the song about the famous bridge. A favorite place for browsing is the old covered market where stalls display a gaudy profusion of ripe goat cheeses, silvery fish, figs, peaches and green almonds, rope-soled sandals and bright Provencal cottons. A short detour off the main highway from Avignon leads to Nimes. Here the glory of the Roman Empire lives on in the temples, aqueducts and amphitheater, built close to 2000 years, ago.

Where the old gladiators once fought, local folk gather for bullfights. But these are delicate French-style, contests unlike the Spanish. The matadors pa Around the World By Sea Lei Angtloi Lei Angeles via AutfriHi $1,361.00 via Japan $1,368.00 bi via Se. Africa $1,514.00 ip D. F.
