The women of the Social Democrat
ic party held lately ''woman's day"
in Austria. The Vienna town hall
was filled to overlooking with women
bearing banners. The speakers at the
meeting said that women must organ

ting the law, which forbids them to
hold political meetings or to form po-
litical organizations, repealed. During
the meeting. 1t was pointed out that
when the men had been called away
from their daily avocations, without
warning. to spend weeks and months
on the frontier, the women at home
had been obliged to work for the sup
port of their families, as the allow
ance made by the government to the
wives and families of reservists was
ridiculously inadequate.

Turkish Coffee.

The Turks, though possessing little
scientific knowledge, are nevertheless
practical people. They have learned
from long experience that pulverized
coffee, pounded in a marble mortar
and passed through a sieve, is both
good and economical. as it gives the
full flavor of the bean and loses moth
ing of its strength.
The great event of visit to a Turk
ish home. is the serving of coffee. The
host has a sort of brass shovel
brought to him. In II he roasts cot
fee beans and then takes a pestle and
mortar and with his own hands
pounds it to a powder. Many of the
pestles and mortars used in Turkey
are heirlooms, passing from father to
son through the generations, and are
richly and beautifully ornamented.
Having drunk coffee in the house of a
Turk, you need have no fear of him,
even If he has the worst Of reputa-
tions for being murderous. No Turk
would harm a man who has drunk
coffee under his roof.
