Interpreter came back from the Shah's
party, which had halted when passed

sleep, unless they do as my husband
and | did one night. We hired the roof
and climbed up there on a ladder to
sleep. That was after the first night.
when we slept in one corner of the
room below, which they curtained off
for us. and we kept watch alternately
through the night, half expecting to be
robbed If not killed, for the people who
keep these places and live in them
seemed to us like savages.
First he borrowed from Russia for
time, and gave as security strips Of
land that gave that country n right OF
way into Persia. Then as his neces-
stiles grew he borrowed from England
and gave England similar strips on the
other side, and when the time came
that neither one Of those countries
would furnish him with any more money
he found he could borrow from Brit
ish colony even although Great Britain
would not lend him any more, and he
began borrowing from India, giving
away more strips on the side toward
India. 1t was this extravaganza which
led finally to his deposition.
"One of the modern conveniences they
do have over there is the telegraph and
when you get within about five miles
of Teheran, If you are person of con-
sequence you are met by a party COM
ing out to welcome you with one of
the Shah's carriages for you to ride
to the city in.
This carriage is a very fine one,
drawn by four or six horses according
to your importance. These horses are
all white with pink tails. Whenever
you see a white horse with his tail dyed
pink anywhere in Persia you know
IL Is one of the Shahs. Nobody else Is
allowed to have them, but they are used
by members of his household and on his
business.
This carriage is equipped with pos
tllions in gorgeous red uniforms
moun&d on the horses and driving
them, and there are outrunners on foot,
also in uniforms, who prance around in
a struggling fashion without the faint
est attempt at military precision,
shouting Borrow, Borrow which means
Get out of the way and people do
get out of the way. And the leader
flourishes a huge copper headed baton.
you hear that shout Of Borrow, Boz
row continually In the city. for every
body drives furiously around, with no
pretence of keeping to the right or OBJ
serving any rule of the road, but going
anywhere in any direction as rapidly as
he likes. People on foot have to look
out for themselves.
Besides the outrunners in uniform
there are men carrying great trays Of
fruits and candies and various eatables
which they take all the way from the
city to where they meet you, five miles
away. There the carriage Is turned
around and you ge; in and everybody
starts back. After you go part of the
distance you come to beautiful spo;
on the banks of a river. and you get out
and sit on the grass and eat some of
the danties from the trays. The candy
is wonderful stuff. like spun glass, and
is dyed all sorts of colors.
"If you have relatives in Teheran they
all come out with the Shahs carriage
20 meet you, down to the fifty-ninth
cousin, and there was a large party of
my husbands relatives to greet us And
you can't 20 to a hotel-you have to go

spread cloth on the floor II they have
one to spread and eat off that. And
they make their beds on the floor. The
women Of the lower class wash their
clothes in the little streams of water
that run down from off the mountains
through the cutters in tile streets of the
city.
Their superstition is something
amazing, especially their belief in a very
active devil and their dread of him. If
you have any trouble with one of them,
and know enough Persian to tell him
in that language to go to the devil, you
can always drive him away in great
confusion ana dismay.
zone night was up late and saw an
eclipse of the moon. ! was not expect
ing II, for the newspaper had said moth
ing about II. There is "A newspaper
there, but il is only the size of an ordi-
nary telegraph bank and contains only
brief paragraphs of important tele-
graphic news. 1t costs ten cents a copy.
81 called my husband and he said he
thought it was going to be total
eclipse, and we were watching 1t with
great interest when a tremendous can
nonading began all over the city. He
called the servants in great hurry and
sent the m out in all directions TO learn
what the trouble was, and presently
they came back and explained that the
people were shooting to frighten away
the devil, who was eating the moon.
"They have religious ceremonies in

didn't see him again for some little time.
1t seems he had been staying for a while
at one OF his out of town palaces and
was on his way back.
1.-THE life in Teheran was very strange
TO me in almost every way. We hired
, a house and had 1t full of servants, as
everybody else did. All you had 10 do
II you wanted anything was to clap
your hands and your own servant, who
was always just outside your door,
would appear instantly.
I'll anybody called on you he would
leave his shoes outside the door and
, come in barefooted or in his stocking
feet, as the case might De, and the first
thing your servant would do would be
to turn the shoes around the other way
ready to be put on when the time came
for the guest to go away.
There were very few Europeans In
the city. l was the twelfth white
woman who had ever been there, and

was always Interested in driving
through the bazaar. This is five miles
long and you can buy anything there
from a grand piano to a cooking stove
1t is the only place in the world, think
where you can drive five miles in one
direction under a roof. But people who
go to Teheran buy their furniture yen-

return. When I saw the knife plunged
into It promptly keeled over in a dead
faint. My husband had not thought to
tell me about 1t beforehand or / would
have been looking the other way.
Il hadn't been in Teheran long. and
I hadn't got used to the customs when
first met the Shah. one Of he strict
rules is that you mustn't go anywhere
without your personal servant going
with you. OF course, he goes at a re-
spectful distance behind you, but he
must go where you do. You have a
great lot Of servants. Everybody has one
for his own personal attendance. even
the little children, and there are a lot
Of household servants besides, from the
cook down.
This time my husband was out on
some business and / had to do some
thing, so / got out my bicycle and
started out for ride alone. We had
both taken our bicycles with US from
America and they were great curlosi-
ties here. / rode at random and soon
passed out through one of the gates of
the city. Teheran Is all walled in and
there are several gates. They are all
guarded by soldiers, but in the day time
YOU can go in and out without ceremony,
but at night you have to have the coun-
tersign, which is changed every day, in
military fashion. You go 20 a police
station to get it. These police stations
are nothing more than small platforms
where the policemen lounge around
most of the time.
"Af,er / had gone some ll.tle distance
along the country road outside Tie city
ran into whole throng OF those uni
formed outrunners all shouting Borrow,
Borrow at the top of their voices and
rushing along at high speed. They came
