BULGARIA. AND ITS
 WOMEN
< <. !. !. ]. < < < ]. ]. !. < < !. < < <


 How much of the strength Of Bull garia whose steady progress during the last 70 years of troubled existence has compelled the admiration of on looking nations. is owing to this na- tion's sturdy womanhood, is explain ed for the National Geographical so' ciety by Hester Donaldson Jenkins. an American educator in the Balkans, in a monogram upon Bulgaria and Its Women. Contrasting the Bulgar- ian girls with the other girls of the Balkans. Miss Jenkins says;
 Among the Oriental girls with whom ! lived In my nine years resi- dcnce in the Near East none inter ested me more than the Bulgarians. They are perhaps the least Oriental of the eight or more nahonalities to be found in the Constantinople Col lege. of which was a professor. They are fairer and brighter in coloring than the Armenians Greeks and Per sians. rather taller and larger on the average. and have far more energy and less languor than the Turk"
 The Bulgarian girls. the writer con. tinues. distinguished themselves from the others by certain wholesome, out-ofdoor quality sanity which marked them sharply from the fanci- ful. sentimental and weaker-nerved girls of some ol che orher nationali. ties. Their greater sturdiness was sometimes expressed boisterously. and Miss Jenkins found the Bulgarian boyden was much more common than the Turkish boydon- or the Bulgar girlss physical lovliness. she says:
 Girls with oimples
 Bulgarian girls incline Go round- ness of contour and figure. many of them having round. full face, ripe, rosy mouths. and dimples This ef- feet is heightened by the fashion Of wearing their hair in braids around the head. One sees plenty of dark hair iu Bulgaria. but one also looks with pleasure on warm. brown tints, chestnut uesses and occasional au- burn heads. One of the most oeauti- ful girls have ever seen was Bull earian. with a glorious mass of cop per.colored waves. a clear pale skin. handsomely set gray eyes, delicate mouth. and small white teeth, and the height and carriage of a princess.
 "The bright cheeks that so many of the Bulgarians have are a pleasant change from the dark or pale skins or the Armeuians and Greeks. Their eyes are generally less large and Ian. gourous than Oriental eyes looking you sQuarely in the face. with more fraukness and less seduction
 Miss Jenkins gives the following melodious samples of the name of her Bulgarian pupils Nadezea. Nadelka, Narafinka Blagoya, Vessalina Coon ka. Zdravka. The last names all end in of. for the men and "ova' for the women. meaning son and daught- CT of.

correspondents or Associated Press. ]
Christiana Norway, Sept. 3.--Some-
thing very close to a panic Is spread
ing over bo.k Norway and Sweden, as
n result of the alarming scarcity of
provisions and the unprecedented
prices which are demanded for the
simplest kind of food. Norway is now
on the point of following Sweden's lead
in prohibiting the export Of all pro-
visions of which there is a present
shortage, in order that the prices may
be brought down within the reach OF
the poorer classes.
The advance in prices in Norway
is approximately the same as In Swed
en-, but in some cases 1t has been even
more marked. Herring which is one
Of the mal:, articles Of diet among the
peasant population, have risen from
two cents to four and half and five
cents apiece and the present price
of oatmeal is $50 per cent higher than
it was before the war.
The mea. shortage was Temporarily
relieved some time ago, as 1t was in
Sweden, by the slaughter of large
number of cattle, which there was not
enough grain to feed. but prices have
now advanced again. reaching the

1t is u curious parad oN. however that
as a nation Norway's economic and
financial condition is better than be-
fore the war Norway's tremendous
exports, at the same time that they
have drained the country of it's neces-
sary provisions for home consumption
and carried masses of the people to the
verge of starvation, have brought a

country, enabled the country to pay for
all its imports. and left large surplus

$4,000, 900. The war has thus brought
Norway a flood tide OF prosperity, and
If government action is taken to re-
duce present prices and provide the
poorer people with food, Norway will
have little to lose and a great deal to
gain from long war.
Norway's friendship for England and
the fact that she has had less to COM
plain of in the restriction of imports
than Sweden, have made her trade
question a much less serious one than
in her, sister country. Her chief
grievance against England remains the
English censorship Of her mail and

trail countries. Norway is still trying
to devise more direct and speedier
communication with America.
