 MT. Peasley is secretive student or the guido book.
 He reads up beforehand and on the suiet. Then when we come face to face with some sight and are wondering about this or that MT. Peasley opens the floodgate of his newly aceuireo knowledge and deluges the whole par ty. He is seldom correct, and never ac- curate, but he knows that nc IS oeal- ing with an ignorance more profuno than his own, and that gives him con ffdence.
 For instance. the first afternoon In Cairo we chartered an open convey ance and rode out to the citadel and sre mosque of Mohammed All, both or which are perched on a high limestone cIiT overlooking the city. The mosque Is modern and very gorgeous witn alabaster columns, profusion or gay rugs. stained windows and crystal chan deliers. We were rhapsodizfng over the interior and were saying 1t was almost as we'll and elegant as the new CIaypool Hotel in Indianapolis. when we happened to overhear one or our countrywomen reading aloud from very entertaining book on Egypt writ ten thirty years ago by Amelia E. Ed wards. Miss Edwards allowed that the mosque of Mohammed Ali was tawdry and hideous specimen of the most de- cadent period of the mixed up archItec- lures imported from Araby and Tur- key When we heard that we made quick switch and began to find fault with the decorations and told the guide we had enough.

 By the way, when a pious English
 man over here, say bishop on va cation. wishes to relieve his feelings without the actual use of profanity he exclaims "Assouan!" If he falls off his donkey, "Assouan." If his tea is served to him at less than PIP degrees Fahrenheit, "Assouan,"
 "Assouan" means the superlative of all dams. the biggest dam in the world. It takes the place of a whole row of these:- MT. Peasley uses the word, when he can think of it. If his memory fails him he falls back on the American equivalent. Inasmuch as I reside in Indiana, where 1t is a social offence to crave a cigarette. a misdemeanor to keep one 1 in the house and high crime to smoke 1 one, Cairo during the first day gave me many shock.
