Mrs. Brett declared that she vas un-
alterably for suffrage, although she did
not think that this question would ever
be a disturbing factor in Arabia "Of
course, women who pay taxes on prop
erty ought to have a voice In making
the laws that govern Them" she said.
why should they be governed by men
VINO pay only percentage Of the taxes
and whose Judgment is not always of
the best? Most women have more
sense, anyway"
Two male visitors at the Duffy home
started to go, but Mrs. Brett exclaimed:
Now, didn't mean it that way. Men
should, of course, be looked to on the
big problems with which woman Is not
familiar. I shouldn't care to vote, but
l think all qualified women who want
to vote should be given the privilege.
even though lots Of women might vote
with their husbands and lots of hus-
bands with their wives"
Maskat Quaint City.
Mrs. Brett showed books Of pictures
with Arabian scenes, and exhibited two
heavy solid gold bracelets fashioned by
hand. The Arabian nights are unusu-
ally warm, declared Mrs. Brett, the
temperature at times in mild weather
going as high as 1O5, and much higher
on the desert wastes.
Maskat streets are ever so narrow,
making the use of automobiles and 9TH
er conveyances almost impossible. The
city is rich in the lore Of castles and

Hair that loses its color and luster,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair, says a well known local

up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui

Tea From Coffee Leaves.

Tea. as everybody knows. Is made from leaves, while coffee Is derived from berries or beans. Just here Is where something has been overlooked in the opinion of scientific investi- gator The leaves of the coffee plant are not only available for making a beverage. but they possess properties which make them more valuable than the coffee beans.
 In appearance and fragrance the dried coffee leaves very much resem ble those of the tea plant An infu sion of them being made, just as ir the case of ordinary tea, an aromatic beverage is produced that Is bitter to the taste, but not disagreeabie so, and which contains almost as much theine as real tea. while there Is much smaller proportion Of tannin.
 It may yet be possible to grow tea and coffee on the same plant.

Electric Lights In Westminster Abbey

The mQnastic gloom which has per vaded the abbey Of Westminster for so many years has been dissipated. The abbey has now new lighting scheme which makes 1t the best illuminated of our abbeys and cathe- drals. Electric light has been in stalled in every nook and corner and 1t banishes forever the atmosphere of ecclesiastical gloom that is usually associated with churches,
 The new scheme of illumination has taken three years to perfect, and the abbey has now 250 electric lamps. hanging in groups of four and six from the distant roof. and the cleo tric current is supplied from a cable in the street.
 Prior to the present installation all the lamps stood upright at the corners of the pews. The electric lights are 30 arranged that the minute print of the average prayer book can be read during evening services in the remot- est retreats of the building.

 At the moment, Bernhardt was de claiming to a friend about the dearth of good new plays. and anybody would have thought she was toe ab- sorbed In her lamentations to notice the maids mistake She took pear from the basket slowly and. appar ently. unconsciously. and the maid turned to leave the room.
