THE WOMEN OF GREECE.
Conspicuous by Their Absence In CIT.

Conspicuous by Their Absence In City
streets-Day Lsborers In the Country.
An American visiting Greece for the first
time Is struck, sooner or later, by certain
dullness in the street life of its towns,
which It may take him some little time to
define and trace to its real cause. At
length and suddenly the fact comes home
to him that there are few, IL any, women
visible among the foot passengers. No
wonder, he reflects, that the streets should
appear dull to him, shorn as they are Of all
the variety that woman's presence and
dress ever lends to the thoroughfares Of
countries farther west
In Greece it Is only toward evening, and
then for but brief period, that the fair
sex take an outing, unless the pressure Of
some urgent business should compel them
10 fit rapidly through the throng Of men
who at other times monopolize the streets.
Nor will foreigner meet with them serv-
ing In the shops, the restaurants OF the
cafes; they will still be conspicuous by
their absence. In fact, unless he visits
them in the privacy Of their homes he will
scarcely do more than catch an occasional
glimpse Of them at the upper windows of
some private dwelling house OF shop, where
when the weather is seasonable they will
sit reading and sewing and craning their
necks out to watch the passersby below.
But to quit the towns, where 1t will be
seen that women play but small part In
public life, and TO turn to the rural dis
tricts of Greece. Here woman takes more
active part in everyday life; she it is who
draws the water, brings in the wood that
the men have felled in the forest, or who
pluckily earns her wages as day laborer
in the maize or cornfeld. In the burning
summer, in the icy winter, she is ever to
the fore, working, working, with her veil
hanging loosely over her head, ready to be
folded across her mouth should q strange
man approach. 1t is matter for thought
how widespread even now among the coun-
try districts is this old custom Of yelling
the lower part of the face at the approach
Of an unknown member of the opposite
sex. 1t Is one sign among many that 1t is
not so very long ago since the Turks were
masters of this purple land, where law
secures not life."

It is curious to see the head and neck dart
Ing from side to side among the leaves.
The darter is found in warm climates and
prefers the banks of rivers and marshes. Its
manner of feeding is curious. 1t swallows
small fish whole, and 1t is said that having
captured a number the darter will speed off
to its young, then open its mouth, and the
young ones in turn pick out with their
beaks q fish from the gullet Of the parent.
The darter is about 8 feet long, of deep
green color, variegated with silver white.
It's eggs, which are blue, are laid in large

Directions For the Inexperienced.
To the practiced cook the following direc-
tions may seem foolishly explicit, but mex

combine materials, and with such informa-
tion can sometimes outdo the woman who
tells "by the feeling of her elbow" how
much sugar or salt to use.
Pie Paste--For one pie use IL cupfuls Of
sifted flour, a small half cup Of lard, a
fourth of cupful of ice water, a saltspoon-
full Of salt and large pinch of baking
powder. Place the -four In a pan, sift the
salt and baking powder over it, add the
lard and with ohopping knife mix the
lard thoroughly with the flour. It Is well
to provide more than the exact amount Of
ice water, but be careful to use as little as
will readily get the crust into shape. Mix
with the tips Of the engers, adding but
little water at time and handling as
little as possible. Endeavor, as you be

be best decided by heaping them upon the

upper branch of its pinchers to the end OF
Its body. The head Is jet black, and from
1t grows out long black horn, somewhat
irregular in shape. The lower surface OF
this horn is covered with deep gold colored
bristles, which no doubt aid in holding

shorter horn grows out from the thorax,

The elytra, or wing covers, are of dirty
dapple gray, while the under part of the
body is black. There are six powerful
legs armed with claws, which easily sink
into the human flesh, while nip from the
pinchers is a thing TO be remembered, even
when the insect has only begun to pinch.
