An American Woman Tells of
the Land of the Shah"
and Phases of Life In the
Leisurely East.

The best idea of Oriental bazaars is
furnished by the arcades of European
and American cities; yet there are many
and the arcade, writes Mrs. NJ. A. C.
Colquhoun in the Sprinfeld Repub-
lican.
| For example: The passage in the ba-
zaar is much narrower than in the ar
cade; il is a passageway for animals
and vehicles. as well as for pedestrians:
baZaars are never more than one story
high; they are lighted only by circular
holes in the arched roof; the fronts of
the little shops on either side are entirely
| open during the day, and at night are
closed by rough wooden doors; the shops
are very long in proportion to their
width, consequently the portion fronting
on the passageway is exceedingly mar
row.
One curious thing about the bazaars Of
Persia is that all the shops Of one kind
are grouped together, and so we speak
of 'the cloth bazaar" ''the hat ba-
zaar" 'the shoe bazaar" There are
both wholesale and retail stores, but
there are no department stores, as in
the United States. Nor is there such a
thing as a general grocery or dry goods
store One grocer keeps spices only;
another tea. coffee. sugar, and so forth;
one dry gools merchant will sell wou
muslin, another broadcloth, another
silk.
Small Factories Abound.
There are no large manufactures in
Iran. It is common to have a small fac
tory and a shop together or side by
side. All the metal utensils used In the
country are made of either brass or cop
per- These substances are hammered
into shape: a stroll through the bazaars
where this work is going on gives one
the impression that pandemonium has
broken loose.
To an American II is astonishing to
see the very small quantity Of thing
that can be bought in Persia. Spices
are inexpensive, and the spice merchant
will weigh out an infinitesimal amount.
so that even the very poor can have
fayorings and seasonings in their food
that would otherwise be impossible to
them.
Different kinds of bread are made in
the bazaars One kind, which is espe-
cially liked by the people and which can
be obtained fresh at almost every hour
of the day, is called ''non-i-sangak,"
literally milestone bread 1t Is maze
by pouring the dough on very hot peb-
bles, which bake it quickly and give it
a crisp crust or course, 1t is thin.
not more than a quarter OF an inch In
thickness.
The sheet is about a foot and a half
wide by two and half long. Near the
bazaar where this bread is baked you
will usually find a place where mutton
chops are being cooked on skewers over
a charcoal fire. Any one desiring a
lunch will buy from the baker a sheet
of the thin, crisp. freshly baked bread.
the a few "kabobs," as the chops are
called. Wrapping the chops in the
bread, he will proceed on his way, eating
his lunch as he goes. "A Persian
cafeteria" as a missionary friend OF
mine calls it.
