Life in an Arab Home.

At last we were to be admitted to
the home life of an Arab. Doffing our
slippers, we were uShered through the
low, dark doorway into a little court
with a room on ether side The wife
was seated on the ground in q most
picturesque costume Of dark coIors,
without veil, preparing the evening
meal. Hanging on the mud walls were
various pans and cooking utensils,
some OF which were bronze, others ter
ra-cotta. On the floGr was a brass
mortar and pestle used for puIyerizing
the coffee. Over the first was a large
earthenware dish in which q flat cake
was being cooked. Both husband and
wife We're so grateful to the great ma
gician who had cured their son that ali
conventionalities were discarded and
we all sat en- fannie and enjoyed cous-
cOuS, dates, figs native bread and deli
cious coffee
After dinner the whole party in
Obliged in cigarettes and more coffee
The wife was really pretty and had
more expression than most of the
women of the desert. especially when
she gaZed at her son and heir with a
mother love ennobling her dark but
handsome features. Had 1t been a
daughter. all would have been differ

men. Women work for lower wages
and they are better adapted for light
industry.
Is this process Of substitution a good
or bad thing for the workers them
selves and for the country? If men,
who generally require higher pay, be-
cause, as rule, they have to bring up
a family, are crowded out of work by
women, who take lower wages, because
so long as they work they remain I'M
married, and because in many in
stances they receive free from their
parents some part of their cost of liv
ing, the result would be anything but
good.
1t may be wondered if this is not a
leading cause of so-called race suicide.
The male portion Of the population is
less able to marry, because not earning
enough to maintain family, while
women with comfortable and adequate
earnings Of their own have less desire
to accept marriage.
In the city of Dundee, Scotland, the
substitution Of female for male labor
has reached a climax. Dundee makes
cheap goods for export, in competition
with Chinese and Japanese labor. Only

the lowest wages are paid and prac-
tically only women are employed. AS
a result, the men of Dundee are being
reduced to the position of parasites
A great many cases are found in
which men who should be workers sub
sist upon the wages of their wives.
1t may be that there is cOmpensa-
ton for the apparent evil of this
change in the greater independence Civ
en- women by their wider employment,
and that they, by reason of this indie
pendence, exercise more careful choice
when they do marry and are able to
exact higher standard of morals and
behavior in men.
Whatever we may think about it, il
is certain that the employment of wO-
men increases at a tremendous rate.
In this, as in other tendencies of our
civilization. no reversal is to be looked
for The revolution must be accepted
and mankind must find some way to
benefit by the change.
But look at the number of advertise
ments in the papers by men who want
situations and ask yourself what can
be done with the superfuous male

in his evening suit, he heard a merry
peal of girlish laughter from an adj

out.
"Oh, Fred, I'm SO glad you've come"

closed them tightly again and turned
away to stifle laugh.
"She-she'll be at the reception next
Wednesday evening. I'm sorry she's

Even the most constant readers of
newspapers scarcely realize the revolu-

creasing employment Of women in all
Industries. Within q short time, the
Young Women's Christian Association
Of New York City found places for
1000 girls and young women in Offices,
about one-third of whom replaced male

The New York Life Insurance Com

only men in it's New York Office, has

smarter and more Trustworthy than

less wages than men employees.
