Camels are still the chief beasts OF
burden. They are the single-hump va
riety, and are raised only by Bedcuins.
There are two breeds, one a heavy
animal for work purposes, and another
used for riding, which are slender. and
agile and can easily outdistance a
horse. Large herds OF female camels
are kept solely for their young and
milk, only a few in each herd being
broken to carry loads. The camel
boys who pasture these animals often
live on camel milk solely for many
days at a time.
The Bedouins eat the flesh OF the
camel and. as mark of distinction
slaughter a camel when noted guest
visits them. Camel flesh is also eaten
by Mohammedan peasants ana the
poorer classes of Mohammedan city
people of Jaffa and GAIA.

Aluminium Shower for Bride.

While the bride to whom such n
function would be helpful is still
showered and wisely with linen, kitch-
en- belongings or provisions. even
these time-honored affairs are apt
nowadays TO be given with some new
twist without losing their practical
character.
For instance. many brides this year
wills be showered with aluminium in
stead of the ordinary kitchen tins and
enamels. This is. of course. more ex-
pensive than the tin shower. but it
is more worth while. and by selecting
the smaller necessaries or by com
bining funds for the larger articles
averyone's purse can be suited.

Newest handkerchief.

Embroidered handkerchiefs are
used more generally than ever before,
and the woman who need not spend
hours embroidering shirt waists and
linen dresses will surely find time for
initiating at least her own handker-
chiefs. Hand hemstitched handker-
chiefs of sheer linen can be bought
for rs cents in a quality worth en-
broidering. Wreaths. single initials
or three in a row, or irregular band
ing of embroidery all around the
handkerchief can be made.

Popular Stone.

One of the most popular stones this
season among the less costly jewels
is the amethyst. This beautiful and
most becoming stone is much valued
for it's lovely color. which is particu-
larly effective upon black and white,
gray mode and beige.
Silver. by the way. is better metal
to use with amethyst than gold. rs
cool grayish tone gives value to the
lovely purple of the stone and has .
much less garish effect than gold.

What has happened to the Hallow-

impish spirit of deviltry peculiar to
youth no longer vent itself in natural
ways?
These and many other questions
beset anyone who chanced to be Oh
the streets of Mt. Vernon Friday ev-
ening. There was a notable absence
of "chases" by the cops. In fact,
there was not even need of a few
extra deputies SO as to preserve the
peace and order, while the Hallow-
cen of ten years ago required the en-.
listment of at least ten in order to
hold down Young America.
Nor were bridges upturned (where
they still EXIST, wagons stolen and
placed in spots best fitted to hold up
the traffic, gate-posts made away with
and strung up on telephone poles, and
SO forth.
In fact, the only notable offenses
seemed to be "soaping windows" and

There was an abundance of Hallow

Thus, though free license was given
the boys to indulge themselves in the
celebration of real Halloween, de

This absence of demonstration can
be partially accounted for in that the

other considerations enter into de
