In the eyes OF some women, who are
neither housewives by nature nor
blessed with substantial means, the
management Of a household Is q duty
principally made up Of worries.
In Egypt, however. II one has sense
Of humor, one is largely helped over
minor difficulties Of housekeeping by
the ludicrous occurrences which are
part of ones daily life; but the sense
OF humor is really a necessity. The
woman who lacked II and expected
her menage in that country to run on
conventional lines, would have to set.

face would be wrInkled and her hair
grow gray in fortnight.

Cook Master Of Situation.

The first conclusion | came to was
that in catering for the household one
must be to great extent in the
hands of ones cook. No tradesmen
call In Egypt, and, with the excep.
tion of the bread which Is supplied
by European bakers, everything must
be bought in the market. II is im.
possible, or rather useless, to go out
oneself to inspect and ask the price
OF meat, vegetables, etc. To a Euro.
pean there is one price, TO a native
another. For this reason nobody ex.
cept those who can afford to pay more
than is necessary for their food go in
for European cooks. They are n lux.
ury and much envled, but they are
inevitably cheated more or less in the
market, whereas a native need pay
no more than the proper value for
what the buys. | do not deny that he
generally thinks himself entitled TO

but that one much expect. Even with
what he makes out Of you he costs
you less than would a European, who.
however honest he may be, is unable
to cope with. the cunning of an ori.
