country. The Rush bill is almost as
bad, and whatever may be said for or
against the other amendments, the
safest things for the people to do is
to vote against them all,and take no
chances on any. The danger of
making a mistake in a matter of this
kind is too great to justify any voter
in risking vote in favor of single

The Women of Damascus.

The women of DamaScus-that is, the
Moslem women-are more closely veil
ed than those of Constantinople and
other eastern cities because the people
here are more tenacious in the observ-
ance of the ancient customs Of their
race and the requirements Of their re-
ligion. The wells are thicker. also, and
cover the entire face. Some Of them
are figured so that the concealment is
even more complete.
Greeks, Jews and Armenians do not
wear wells, and some of them are very
handsome, particularly the Jewish wo-
men. Their eyes. complexion and hair
are superb. The types of oriental love
illness remind you of SolomOn's Song.
No women are employed about the
hotels or restaurants. All the "domes-
tic" work is done by men In the shops
and manufactures of Damascus thou
sands of women and girls are employ
ed, but they are exclusively Greeks and
Jews. No Moslem would permit his
wife, daughter or sister to appear in a
shop or any other place where men are
employed.-Chicago Record-Herald.
