Vanity vs.. Curiosity.

Vos ~0ssOoseys
The following little paragraph bear
ing a Paris date gives one a splendid
idea of how far women's vanity and
desire for display will bring them:
An ankle skirt, a woman's curiosity
and another woman's hot temper, led
to Il fight in the Avenue de Wagram.
The curious woman was Henriette
Dubois, servant maid, and the hot
tempered one was Clemence Laff1tte,
who wore an ankle skirt and a hat
which was nothing short of crea-
ton. Henriette turned to stare at
Clemence. who objected-and said so.
Henriette, somewhat tactlessly,
laughed, and the owner of the ankle
skirt went for her." A battle royal
followed. Curls and furbelows few
in the air. But Clemence had never
played cricket, and used her hatpin.
with the result that she is now at the
depot, while the maid is being treated
at tine Beaujon hospital

way neutrality-suspicious. Cities Of
Great Anatolian Plain viii One Day
Blossom With Modern Civilization.
BY WILLIS r. ELLIS.

Tarsus, Asia Minor.-The main high
ways of history run across Asia Minor.
This has been the route for uncounted
centuries Of the armies of conquest,
and the peaceful caravans OF trade,
journeying from Asia to Europe or
from Europe to Asia Here are the
footprints of Cyrus and Darius, Nebu-
chadnezzar and Alexander the Great,
the Caesars, the Crusaders, the Turks
and the Arabs. and such distinguished
individual travellers as the Apostle
Paul.
He who goes on foot or wheel today
will find himself travelling the iden-
crossing old Roman bridges. As he
notes the sites Of battles or camps, he
will be able to see in the configuration
Of the ground why they were so
chosen. The trip l have just made IL
wonderful commentary upon the
books we studied In school and upon
the history Of the early Christian
church.
Here are the ruins of many of the
great cities of classic literature, the
Seven Churches Of Asia," to which
the familiar passages In the Apoca-
lypse were addressed: and the other
cities which gave Paul and his COM
panions a sample of mob law or else
worshfpped them as Gods.
Tho Ancient East Still Survives.
The country is still pretty much as
it has been for millenniums. The cities
are now hidden under the debris of
ages, and the thriving commerce of
that older day has disappeared along
with the marching legions. But the
wayside wells are identical with those
at which the thirsty soldiers used to
drink. The khans are built of mud
and straw, and are after the same type
as we're known to the travellers before
Christ; indeed they cannot be very
different from that primitive khan in
Bethlehem wherein was born the
worlds Conqueror.
The dust from passing caravans en-
grimes the traveller. The soft-footed
camels who now come swaying along
with serpent necks, are laden with
cans Of American kerosene. The bull
lock carts with their primitive solid
wooden wheels, bear material for the
construction Of the Bagdad railway. A
bent stick still serves for plow.
Agriculture is largely by hand, and
the threshing floors of scripture are
frequent sight. Picturesquely clad ma
tivcs move slowly along on donkeys-
1 saw one young mother and child,
whose bearded husband and father
had stopped at brook to give them
drink, who suggested strikingly the
picture OF the Flight into Egypt.
Where the Glory Has Departed.

covered with trees and there was plen.
