The Persian GentIeman.

In Persia boys and girls never play To-.
gcthcr. Even at home the inferiority of
the girls is insisted OH, just as much by
the mother as by the father. The little
girls have to invite playmatcs Of their
own, but their games are never lively
ones. They generally prefer to sit by
themselves under the shade of mulberry
or pomegranatc trees in the garden
(Which usually is laid out in the court
yard surrounded ON all sides by houses or
high walls) and listen to fairy tales which
their mothers and nurses can tell very in
terestingiy, indeed. While there is very
little companionship or love between
brothers and sisters, there isno quarrcling
and no fighting, either, between them P;
and the boys, while thinking themselves
above the girls, show them many little
kindnesscs. -Nc'c York Mill and Erpress
