There is probably no peasantry in
 the world so ground down as the Per sian. Tlte agricultural laborer there,
 as in China. never tries to amelorate his condition for the simple reason that if he earns more more is taken away
 from him by the rulers of the land. The general condition of the laboring classes, however, does not seem to be so bad as might be supposed. In country so vast (o5o,0OO square miles) and so thinly populated (5,500,0OO in alb small and sufficient supply of food Is easily raised. especially with such prolific soil at the command of the poorest At Shiraz there are two harvests in the year. The self, sOwed in summer and reaped in autumn, con- sists of rice, cotton, Indian corn and garden produce, and the tchatoi is sowed in October and November and reaped from May till July. This Is ex- clusively wheat and barley. Here also grow grapes, oranges and pomegran- ates, for which latter Shiraz Is famed.

MOURNING STAMPS

The postoffice department is con-
stantly in receipt of requests for the
issue Of mourning stamp for use on
black-edged stationery. Persons in all
grades Of life assert that there is no
harmony or appropriateness in an en-
velop with black edge, and a red
stamp in the corner, and they beg the
department to issue black stamp.
The department has given much con-
sideration to the subject, but has been
unable to comply with the requests on
account of the rules of the Universal
Postal union, which prescribe that our
lowest value stamp shall be green; that
the stamp used for domestic use shall be
red, and the stamp carrying foreign mail
-5-cent-shall be blue. In view of these
restrictions, it has not appeared pos
sible to meet the requirements for a
mourning stamp, as the department does
not deem it advisable to print a stamp
in red and also in black
However, the suggestion has been
made that the Scent stamp, now
printed in purple, might be printed in
black, SO that persons desiring to use a
black stamp upon their mohrning en-
velop might do SO by paying the addi-
tional cent. The department may take
up this suggestion later and act upon it.

while the right eye itching is a lucky
omen.

mean money.
When the front teeth are set wide
apart it is a sign of luck and that you
will travel.

THE SOCIAL SECRETARY

: This is the era of the social secretary.
In New York, Philadelphia and Wash
ihgton her power is strong. Mrs. Stuy-
Fish seldom travels without her
scribe. At the time Of the information
al railway congress she brought her
tried and trusty secretary to Washing
ton, but, recognizing the local demands,
she obtained the services of Mrs.
2Chauncey Depew's mentor The social
secretary can get rich if she has an eye
to business, but these young women are
astute enough to know that get-rich-
quick schemes do not pay in the long
run. Miss Isabel Hagner, who is Mrs.
Roosevelt N's secretary, receives many
offers from persons who want invita-
tions to semi official festivities in the
White House. One particularly per-
sistent importer Of gowns and milli-
merry offered to keep Miss Hagner sup
piled in robes and head covering for
two seasons if she would get him an
opportunity to view an official recep-
tion from the inside. Similar offers,
tho not SO many, come to Miss Mar
garet Wade, social secretary for Mrs.
Fairbanks, wife Of the vice president.

You can wear almost every shade Of
mauve and purple with success, also
green and green blues, and if the eyes
are blue, blue gray, gray or brown, all
shades of blue will be found becoming.
# the eyes are gray green, then light
and genuine baby blues should be
avoided. You can wear pale pink, pale
green, black, cream, old rose, Nile
green, blue gray, golden brown, warm

Your hats should be of medium size,
