murmur of delight from our company
as the four women brought to the table
four big dishes full of them, and for a
while there was only the sound of eager
munching, mixed with the clatter on
china of the empty shells. To extract
them we had the strong thorns, three OF
four inches long, of the wild acacia. and
on these the little brown morsels were
carried to the avid mouths and eaten

Enelish Customs Arc Slowly Reaching
Them-The Mothers Rule.
The Armenian girl is little troubled
with education, beyond household du-
ties, spinning and needlework-and at
this last accomplishment she is always
an expert, especially at embroidery
unless, indeed, she attends one Of the
excellent Armenian mission schools car
ried on in many towns, where she will
learn English, French and possibly her
own language, for Armenians not infre-
quently adopt the vernacular Of the
country wherein they live. She will al
SO acquire o thirst for fiction, English
and French. The Armenian girl is deep
" sentimental and likes to read of love,
and marriage is, of course, the ultima
Thule of her ideas. This little matter is
generally arranged by her mother. and
nowhere are women of more importance
or hold more weight in the family coun-
ellis. The mother is at the head of the
patriarchal establishment, in which her
sons, their wives and often her nephews
and nieces dwell. She rules her sons and
sons wives, the latter, perhaps, with a
somewhat severe hand, especially dur
ing the first year of their married lives,
when, except to attend church, they
may not 60 out, though, when the
daughters-in-law in their turn become
mothers greater liberty is permitted
them.
In more advanced portions of the COM
munity a girls choice is practically I'M

changed for a wadded one, and huge felt
shoes are worn over the ordinary boots
to keep out the biting cold. Though the
| Armenian women do not wear wells tC
conceal their features as point of re-
ligion. they not infrequently do cover
their faces with gauze or q corner Of q
shawl.
Some of the younger women, however,
have discarded their native costume fol
that of London three years ago, and they
are evidently not quite at ease in theil
newly acquired corsets. They copy TIT

produce wonderful combinations of pink,
