Honeymoon in Arabia.

For seven days after the wedding
the Arab bride and bridegroom are
supposed not to leave their room. The
bride may see none of her own family
and only the women folk of her hus.
bands, who wait on her.
She remains in all her wedding
fnery and paint and does absolutely
nothing. The bridegroom generally
slips out at night after three days and
sees few friends privately, but he
persistently hides from his wife's fam.
lily, and should he by accident meet
his father-in-law before the seven
days are over he turns his back and
draws his burnous, or haik, over his
face.
This is their view of a honeymoon,
and they grow as weary of it as any
European couple do of their en-.
forced continental tour.

SCHOOLS TABOO
CHINESE PUPILS
Girls From Local Mission Not
Admitted TO Rooms With
White Children
Miss Cameron Petitions City
Attorney to Find Some
Exception to Rule

Since the day when they were six
months old, three charming little wards
Of the Chinese mission-Margar Woo,
Minnie Cham and Lee Ahlon-now 16
years Of age, have been brought up as
Americans, educated as Americans,
trained in American customs and taught
10 speak only the English language.
Their tastes are those of American
girls, they dress like them and have
the same culture and ambitions. In
every way these girls are American,
save one-they were born of Chinese
parents, whom they never saw in their
remembrance, and in whose customs
and tongue they are today as ignorant
as though the Chinese kingdom had
never been.
And yet, with no friends or relatives
among the Chinese, these luckless girls,
American as they are IN every way but
birth alone. are expatriated as truly as
Edward Everett Hale's "The Man With
out a Country" At Fridays meet
ing OF the San Francisco board of edu-
cation, after weeks of secret delibera-
zion, It was decided that the three girls
must be denied admission to any of
the white schools in the county, in ac-
cordance with the state law which es-
tablished the oriental school
Miss Donaldine Cameron of the Chi
nese mission had petitioned the board
that the girls be admitted TO the Den
man school in the eighth grade. The
board wanted to do so-it deliberated
the question long and earnestly-but
under the law it felt it had no au-
thority.
we know they are charming and
lovely girls" said President Thomas
Boyle Of the board last night, and we
discussed the problem from every
viewpoint. But under the law no other
decision was possible
Prior to the decision of the board
the girls had gone to the Denman
school with their books to be enrolled
as pupils. Principal Mann refused to
register them on account of the law
and sent them home.
Miss Cameron was deeply grieved at
the unfortunate position Of her little
wards.
These girls have spent all their lives
in the shelter Of the Chinese Christian
mission" she said. "One was born
there, another abandoned there, and the
third. whose mother was a mission girl
and her father an educated merchant
OF Los Angeles, was left there through
the death Of her parents. do not wish
10 make trouble or to stir race preju-
dice. but I can not help feeling that
some exception should be made for my
girls"
In her effort to find some way by
which the three wards may attend the
school here, Miss Cameron has applied
10 the city attorney and to the attor-
ney general Of the state to see If there
can be no possible loophole. 1t seems
that there is none. In its inexorable
wisdom, the school law of the white
man bars from it's founts Of learning
