But IL was living. and that was all the
Inhabitants of the village seemed to
care for--simply to live. In fact, 1t is
about all that the Turkish government,
with its abominable expressions and ex-
actions, will allow them to do. The
government tax on camels is 40 cents a
head, on sheep 20 cents a head, on cows
20 cents head. This for those poor
people is a great deal. Strangely
enough, there is no tax on a horse or
donkey. Olive trees are taxed so much
a tree. Sometimes in a bad year, when
the yield is small. 1t ls cheaper to cut
down the tree than to pay the tax on 1t.

In order to take some exercise, a number
of us walked a considerable part of the

ahead of them. The weather was fine,

wards, though, that the young Arabs
were insulting the lady and myself on
account, 1 suppose, of our walking to-
gether along a public road. Or rather.
they were making insulting remarks. Not
understanding the remarks, however, we
did not know that we were being insulted,
and so did not take the insults to our
selves. But the servants understood, and
they were very indignant, especially the
one who had made the remarks quoted.
He went back to George, our dragoman,
riding in the rear carriage, reported to
him what had been said and wanted to
whip out the young Arabs. But George
very wisely advised him to let the mat
ter drop, which he reluctantly agreed to
do. The incident showed several things:
l. The opinion in which women are
held in the east.
q The power of kindness upon any,
one, however humble.
d.
insult, but to pass 1t by unnoticed.
4. The feeling In Palestine between the
Musselmans-or Moslems, or Moham-
medans-and the Christians. George, our
dragoman was a Christian, and so I
understand were all of our servants.
George was a member of the Church OF
England, or an Episcopalian, So also,
l presume, were some others of the serv-
ants, though most of them probably were
Roman or Greek Catholics. Evidently,
though. judging from the remark quoted,
their Christianity is more nominal than
real.
ANOTHER INCIDENT.
A rather amusing incident occurred
with two other members of the party, a
lady and gentleman who were walking
together The carriages had crossed
small but muddy and miry stream.

The apparently uncorseted figure made
it's appearance in Paris some time ago
and has recently been seen on our own
shores. Some of these figures really are
uncorseted, but the majority of them
wear the new corsets, which are said to
be the proper thing by Dame Fashion &
Co., corsetieres.
These corsets are merely hip confiners.
They extend only a few inches above
the waist where they are held close to
the figure by elastic. The skirt extern
sion is cut on corset lines with boned
gorings. A brassiere should be worn to
confine the body little more than does
the ordinary loose frivolous garment
worn by the average woman.
This evolution in stays has evidently
been brought about by the vogue for the
high waist line and the mandarin bodice.
But whatever the real cause, the wise
women who adopt the fashion are going
to be both healthier and more comfort
able.
