THE SUEZ CANAL---
PORT SAID TOCAIRO
The Funny Thing. One See.
Smiling Round the World
By
MARSHALL p. WILDER
2 ~
Copyright. by Joseph b, BoWies.9

1t was fine, cool morning when
we reached that historic artery of
water that joins the Red sea with the
mediterranean, the Suez canal.
This unprepossessing "ditch," as it
has so often been called, has been
held responsible almost as much as
the unbridled extravaganza of Ismail
Pasha, for the financial ruin of Egypt,
and her occupation by Great Britain.
Despite dire prophecy, and centuries
of failure-for nearly every ruler of
Egypt, from Seti, father of Rameses
the Great to Napoleon Bonaparte,
tried his hand at the problem of estab-
fishing water communication between
the Mediterranean and the Red sea-
the great canal has become fixed
fact in the worlds history. The one
time American consul general at
Cairo, Mr.. Frederick Courtland Pen
field, in his charming and instructive
book, Present Day Egypt" lets in
much pleasant light upon the musty,
old traditions of the ancient land.
Strabo, now; he's the worlds
earliest geographer and historian, or
one of 'em, and I suppose we are
bound to believe him, even when he
says (he must have said it, for I've
never seen any of his handwriting
lying around) that IA centuries before
The Virginia enterprise., 1908-06-05

was begun in 1887 from plans made
by Mongel Bey, Frenchman. The
English tourist never lets slip a
chance to boast of his country's su-
perioriiy in the matter of the reincar-
nation of Egypt under British "occu-
pation;" and good story is told by
Consul Penfield of one of these globe
trotters who was inspecting, with a
proud air, the great barrage.
Eyes, it's great work, and these
foreigners ought to better appreciate
what we are doing for their good. This
thing has put them on their feet,
financially, sure enough, but I don't
see that they show any gratitude for
our having built it,
Il beg your PARDON" said the en-
gineer in charge, but this barrage
was designed and built by French en-
gineers"
Il didn't know that" replied the
tourist, somewhat subdued, but any,

The Cameo POPULAR

they are even being utilized for tie
drop earrings that are fashionable lust
at present, and the dainty effects are
to be found in large and small pins,
In belt buckles and in bracelets. Per-
haps there is no more effective usa
for the cameo than in a bracelet set
in jet or old gold. One beautiful de-
sign noted in one of the shops recently
was wide carved jet setting for a most
delicately carved cameo. Then thero
are large brooches which are exquis-
itely outlined, and even hatpins That
the cameo is extremely popular is

way, they have to get an Englishman
to take care of it,
i beg your pardon again." said the
gentleman with D. P. w. on his can
and shield, Il have the honor of be-
ing native-born American citizen!"
The tourist walked away, muttering.
well, I'm going back to the hotel be-
fore some one tells me that French
man built those pyramids over there!"
At every station We saw great
crowds of people and passed trains
packed like sardines. Our interest
was profound when we learned that
they were pilgrims just starting on
their long and tiresome journey to
Mecca. They were bound for Port
Said where they would take ship for
Jaffa, from there travelling to Mecca
by camel and horseback, though the
great majority go all the way across
the desert on foot, thereby attaining
added merit. Beside assured saliva
ton. trip to Mecca gives a man the
right to wear turban of green, the
prophets own color, and the title of
Hadji, and when he returns to his
home, he would quite naturally fresco
over his shop or house door the his
tory of the pilgrimage, purple train,
red boat, string of green camels,
and yellow mosque before which q
man in blue turban bows himself in
prayer. Beneath this highly decorative
record he would henceforth sit serene.

Twice we passed large numbers Of
workmen mending the banks aided by
droves of camels transporting sand
and stone in pann1er boxes.
Great stream dredgers were fire.
quently passed working constantly to
keep the canal passable for steamers,
as sand and silt are continually filing
it up.
Port Said is a town of some impor-
tance, very much larger than Suez, but
in the flying glimpse we caught of it
in the course of wild, ear1y-morning
ride to catch the train for Cairo, we
were impressed by its dirt and noise
more than by anything else.
The ride to Cairo was tiresome for
many reasons, chiefly because of the
dust and flies, and family who
shared the compartment with us, to-
gether with mountain of luggage.
The changing interest of the land
scape, however, made us forget the
annoyances, for were not the scenes
of the Bible spread out before us like
an open book. The shepherd with his
flock, the camels either resting or
marching slowly, the mud houses sur
rounded by palms, the women carry
ing water jars on their heads, walking
splendidly, swinging lightly from their
hips. A family working among the
fertile fields; little girls tending goats
and winding wool on a distaff as they
watched, or else a venerable old man
in floating draperies riding a diminu-
tive donkey.
During the ride we were much edi-
fled by one of the English party with
US saying as we passed station:
There's fine engine, a splendid en-
gine, by Jove!"
'"Thats an American engine" said
the other man, adding, before we had
lost our little glow of patriotic pride,
"but we don't care for them out here,
they burn such lot of coal and are so
very dirty" To our humble sugges-
tion that perhaps they made up for
this defect by being fast, he assented
condescendingly that they were fast,
but so dirty, you know"
The great barrage, near Cairo, con.
structed to hold back the surplus
waters and thus irrigate a larger area,

METHODS OF PERFUMlNG HATS,
Paper Box Lined with Silk Perhaps
the Most Effective.

The perfumed hat fad grows apace,
and every milliner has her own way of
doing it,
The essential thing" says one MILL
ner, is any kind Of box. But it must
be large enough to hold the hat with
out crushing the feathers. One woman
used a little tin ice chest which had
been unused for long time and was
free frcm smell. A big white paper
box can be set inside the tin one. Then
comes the matter of scenting the pa
per box, which must be lined with
silk.
THE most successful scented hat
box ever saw was made of paper and
there were four inside pieces of silk
which served to line it. They could be
removed. When filed with scent they
were simply overpowering and the pa
per hat box was bower of the richest
sachet. And into this the hat was
placed.
The cover was put on the paper
box and the whole thing was set away
N the tin chest. The chest being air.
