"A Christmas Breakfast and Dinner

a Christmas Breakfast and Dinner

The following Christmas expert
ence in Egypt is related by a writer
in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
He was at the house Of a Greek who
was apparently not Croesus, as the
entire furniture OF his cafe consisted Of
a stone and-mud fireplace in one cor.
ner, a palm branch divan occupying
the remainder Of that side OF the ban
quoting hall, and a lot of rush mats
on the earthen floor. I took the place
of honor on the divan, says the
writer, and soon the Arabs commence
ed dropping in and squatting on
the floor. Our Copt had madeso much
noise that he had awakened the whole
village. 49,. ~
It was Christmas Eve, or, rather,
morning. and felt liberal, so I order
ed coffee and mastic for the party, and
kept the landlord busy until had
filled the whole lot-a feat never before
accomplished in Tel-el-Baroud. I be.
gan to feel hungry, and the land lord
fished out from under the divan, which
also served as a chicken-coop, three
squads, which he killed, plucked, boil
ed and served up on Arab, bread.
This bread is baked of unbolted flour
in round cakes, seven inches in Diane.
