do they engage In some very pretty Oc-
cupation. The long-stemmed flowers, the
brightest blossoms and the incest ported
plants are given to them TO peddle; and
right gay they look rugged In plaid shawl
and with their hair neatly and becoming
ly dressed. my little Greek flower girl
is figure in the daily life of many a
metropolitan.
The richest of the Greeks are the candy
makers In this business they excel on
account of cleanliness and a faculty for
making bright colored candies. They be-
gin In q small way-a rope Of candy dough
upon hook-and from 1t they go to candy
making extraordinary, and end by becom-
Ing the greatest of manufacturers. In this
way they amass a fortune.
The dissipation which the Greeks of
America affect Is the wearing of bright
clothes. They dress In gaudy colors and
rig out their houses in true Grecian art de-
signs. Their walls are covered with such
prints as they can obtain for frescoes, ana
they hang up stamped pieces of cloth and
bright rags until. with their Unborn taste
for color, they achieve something artis>
tic and good.
At night the Greek goes home from his
work, and If he ventures out again II is
to visit nice little back room of a coffee
house where he plays dominoes and drinks
some very simple beverage and talks poli-
tics. only when there Is a national dis
turbances does he become boisterous, ana
then the hidden fire Of his nature leaps Que
into flame. AZ a patriotic greeting in New
York city a few nights ago the police had
to be called IN for fear of riot. At the
mention Of the name Turk" the Greei1
grows black browed, and one of the erup-
lions Of his peaceful nature can be looked
for.
The Greeks whole aim in life Is tn
amass money enough TO go back home,
Never a Chinaman thinks more longingly
Of his native soil than Greek. He is ona
of the few that avowedly come here only
TO earn money to take them home to pay
off mortgages and live in plenty.
When the trouble broke out and King
George declared for the Cretans, the
Greeks rose here as a man and began to
collect money to help him. In two days
a thousand dollars was raised. 1t came
rolling In by dimes and nickels from the
push carts and the flower stands. over
IL went to Greece and King
George and another fund was
begun. To make the fund thor
oughly sure one the president OF the Union
Savings Bank of New York was selected
to care for II and to send It. Nor was
that all The younger and stouter heart
ed wanted TO go home TO fight, and to this
end applied to the steamship companies to
take them back at low rates. This they
agreed 90 do. and the Greeks are now
pouring from America into Crete. Theirs
is no question OF naturalization. They
never became American citizens, Il tarry
but a time" Is their motto.
The Greeks are a very loving people,
and their fidelity Is specially fascinating
20 the fckie-hearted Americans. and many
are the quiet love stories between Amcri-
can women and black-eyed Greeks. These
unions are almost always happy and are
crowned by love and success, the two es-
sentlals for home and nation.
When the Turks started In to possess
Crete they counted upon the poverty OF
the country back OF them. But they did
not know OF the quiet force az work upon
a distant shore, nor OF the steadfast hearts
and full purses that would pour themselves
out to help a national cause.
