ORIENTAL COURTESY.
The Formally Of a Wsleoms - .
Houss IN Damascus.


House In Damascus.
Ased Ullah's house is in what
seems to be a mean quarter of the
town. 1t is but seeming. All D4-
maseus houses front upon mean
streets and are hidden and barred.
The street is narrow, walled, rough
enough underfoot, painted thick
with vivid sunshine and deep shadow
Ia mystery Of direction, too, and
of detail, turning Unexpectedly. for
ever revealing the surprise Of low
arches and steep alleys, of fenced
tombs and wells in the wall. IL is
but step from the flowing eonfu-
sion of man and beast and noisy
trading of the Suk ct Tawileh, but
remains quiet, traversed by appren-
tees upon errands, yelled women in
black, who slip along the walls of
unfrequented places, sheiks and
scholars in softly tinted robes. There
is a gigantic porter at the gate, as
at the gates of the men of wealth
and quality of the town, to unlock
the way and shout warming to the
wife of Ahmed Ased Ullah, provid-
ing against the scandal of a surprise
in the garden.
Here, then, upon cushions under
the light, with his pens and his tools
and his collection of old master
pieces, secluded from the vehement
business of the bazaar and the trou-
.blous politics of the town, sits All
med Ased Ullah, the writer, unused
to the company of travellers from
abroad, but mildly wishful for it.
'FYour day be happy" says All
med Ased Ullah, according to the
form, beaming inquisitively over his
great spectacles.
"And yours both happy and bless
ed"
'My house," he replies, his inter-
est quite detached from the compi-
ment, genially expressing itself rath-
er in a glowing, difident smile,
childlike in frank delight, els hon
ored in your presence"
"But, no." is the protestation;
"the honor is to such as may by
grace be permitted to visit the
homes of the distinguished"
"God forbid" says Ahmed Ased
Ullah, with pious formality, chat it
should be considered so in this
casep
''GOd forbid, indeed, that it should
be presumed otherwisep
Ahmed Ased Ullah swiftly touches
his breast, his thin white beard, his
forehead, offering the service of his
heart, his lips, his mind, In agree
ment with the polite custom, and
accepts in return an expression Of
devotion precisely similar in form
and sincerity, all the while continu-
ing with remarkable rapidity to
Jump his finger tips from breast to
brow, as if with the determination
to multiply his politeness beyond
the possibility Of being matched,
in the ceremony an sgil-
ity which nothing but lifelong prac-
tice could achieve.
by your favor" says he at last,
bowling an invitation to enter.

compfished. - Norman Duncan in
