Egypt's Lovely Khedivab.

The khcdive of Egypt is one of the few
eastern rulers who have lived in genuine
love story, with the heroine for his wife.
The lovely lkbal IIaucm l., of the Cir
cassian race. She was formerly a slave
of the vidid Mowagcrl khcdiyah. at
whose house the then young ruler of
Egypt first saw her AS beauty gives
rank in the orient, the young slaves con
dition did not interfere with her advance
ment She was courted and won by the
daShing young prince and finally formal
ly married to him and raised to the rank
of Lhcdivah
The happy couple model their house
hold after the European fashion. She
neither paints nor powders her face. as is
the custom of Egyptian women of high
rank. She likes European dress and has
European servants and governcSses for
her three daughters. She studies with
her children and has an open. inquiring
mind.
The khcdvah has one OF the most
sumptuous yachts in the world. The sa-
looms are most magniiiccntly upholstered
in white satin. hrocadcd with pink roses.

panels are hung with beautiful pictures

Their did she jump at the door nor shut it
with bang. Instead she took a broom
and began to sweep that corner of the

be able to hear her if she called for as

plan. In the back yard some telephone

Dld you ever notice a little girl. 10 or
ii years old. Short of Skirt. cross mud
dy street, wearing an air Of Importance
and hiking with he right hand the cor
ncr Of her outer garment If you haven't.
you can scarcely have paid much attcn-
ton to street scenes. 1t would require a
psychological explanation to detail the
reasons which move these tiny persons to
20 through such mdicrous mancuvcr.
but they do 90 through it, and they win
continue to 80 through it so long as the
feminine remains eternal.
To begin with. the dresses of these lit
tie girls usually end at the knees. and
their knees are so far from the pavement
as to make it impossible for the skirt TO
trail within less than a linear foot of the
dust and dirt of the sidewalk. But this
consideration has no weight with the lit
tie women. They have noted that their
elder sisters and other women of their
acquaintance invariably elevate the skirt
when crosSng-and so they follow. not
always consciously, the example.
The practice is Unborn and as ineradica-
BILE as it is amusing. by no stretch of
imagination could one picture the short
gowns coming in contact with the road
way. But the children don't stop to an
alyze. They just lift the skirt. gravclv
cross the street and as gravely lower the
garb. Next time you see a little girl going
to school watch her movements when she
comes to a corner, There will be 60 sec
onds of amusement for you in the spec
tacle.-New York Herald.

They Make Work Easy.

The work in the kitchen, SO far as the
culinary labor is concerned, would be
lightcncd for many women if they took
advantage of the numerous housekeeping
conyenieuees which manufacturers and
inventors have placed on the market in
recent years. Many of these articles are
inexpensive and will last long time with
care. Among them may be casscd dou-
bic roasting pans, meat chopper, vegcta-
bic cutter, patent potato mashcr. apple
corer double boilers, improved pie and
cake tins wire dishcloth, balanced oil
cans, measuring cups, wire egg bcater,
wire broilcr, steamers of various kinds,
