 The women of Cairo have nothing in the world to do but gaze in their mirrors, eat sweetmeats and cndeavor to look pretty.
 In India the Scotch girls were again impressed with the happy condition of the women in harems. The prettiest woman they have yet seen on their globe girdling tour was dark eyed Parsee girl of 15, who was sweet voiced and lovely and much happier than the western woman, with her many cares, her ambition to be well dressed, her worrisome servants and her disfiguring wrinkles.
 In China the Scotch girls learned that women are not considered the equals of their husbands, and in Japan they became convinced that the Japanese musmec had no morals whatever. But, says Miss Imandt, "the Japanese woman doesn't know she Is doing wrong and ought to burn for it, as she might possibly be taught by gentle people who sometimes teach those things"

I. LaNoNiLL. dDle TOT lnelr lu6l- ity, pathos and finished literary style. MT Zangwill was born in London, but he says that when he was baby he left London, taking his parents with him, and spent his childhood in Bristol and Plymouth.
 He was educated until his fourteenth year ut the Red Cross street school in Bris- tol and later secured a place as board school teacher in the east end of London, where he devoted his few hours of leisure to reading by himself fora London degree. By hard work and the closest application he passed all his examinations with honors and secured his coveted degree before he was 21 years of age. Inability to get on with the head masters caused him to abandon teaching the young idea how to shoot, and he wrote "The Premier and the Painter" which was well reviewed, but not a great financial success.
 On the strength of the book, however, he secured a position as editor of Ariel, 8 new publication. II was its first and last editor" he says. II gave it birth, l christened it, and killed it. But believe it amused many people while it lived. ' About this time MT. Zangwill published his first successful book The Bachelors Club" Its eccentric hunor was entirely unlike anything he had previously done, and the book enjoyed wide popularity.
 His ghetto stories are considered his best work by many critics, and it seems incredible that the humorist of "Thc Bachelors Club' could have written them MT. zangwill is exceedingly yer satile, however, and also poses as poet, lecturer, playwright and student of psychology. "It is very hard to label me at present, ;" he says, "and don't be sur prised if you see my name appended to the libretto of comic opera"

 Two pretty Scotch lassies, Miss F.

They start ed from Dundee last February to girdle the globe and tell the readers of Dundee paper how unemancpated woman the world around was getting on They at last arrived in the United States and are busily engaged In getting soaked with American impressions" as Miss Imandt puts it
 From Dundee the bonny Scotch investi- gators first went to London, which they think is about the best field for missionary work among women that they have yet seen, with the possible exception of the back streets of their own Dundee. From England the girls went to France, Italy, Egypt Arabia India, China and Japan.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-Senstor
Jones came out of the tarin conference

and said that the Conferees were still at
work, and he hoped that basis of
agreement might be found
He said that up to the present time
there had been nothing done with view
of preparing report, and he could say
that nothing had been agreed upon alb
soutely. He indicate that there might
be some changes, but maintained that
the Senate conferrees knew they could
not depart far from the Senate bill.
He believed the House conferrees were
beginning to realize this feature OF the
contest. and intimated that some sched-
ules would be rewritten.
There seems to be "A general feeling
among members of both Houses that
compromise between the conferrees Will
be reached within a day or two.
Chairman Holman, of the House
Democratic Caucus Committee, con-
ferred with Representative Springer at
to the proposed caucus to-day, and then
aut horized the following statement:
While the call for the caucus Is
signed, 1t has been considered desira-
Bile, after consulta ton with Mr.. Spring
or, that the caucus be deferred until the
conferrees reach the conclusion that
there IL no hope OF breaking their dead
lock. There has never been the remotest
desire to interfere with the conferrees
| in their effort to reach an agreement.
THE caucus was proposed and VIII bt
| held only as means Of considering q
| remedy, when the chance OF breaking th'
deadlock Is hopeless.
