they came up to the new gate on the

jumped in after him. They picked Mr.

SHOOK PEARLS FROM GOWN
Ono Woman at Least Who Believes
That Tight styles Are Strictly
All Right.

Persons in the rose room of the AS
ed when they heard a pretty woman
with diamonds glistenfng on dainty
hands say:
THE pearls have gone-ths string
snapped in two"
She wore a coat with a moleskin
collar, the New York Herald states.
Her husband suggested that she take
off her coat She then tugeed on the
end of string and brought forth a
sad looking affair-six pearls left at
the end OF the necklace. After stand
ing up once or twice and engaging the
attention of a waiter she brought
forth a handful OF pearls by the time
her husband returned from a tele-
phone call.
Good thing this dress was tight"
she laughed.
They proceeded to count the pearls
before they ate soup and it was the
consensus that three pearls had
strayed from the string.
Again the pretty woman stood up.
shrugged her shoulders. Result, one
more pearl. Two were missing. They
ate their dinner, not forgetting the
mishap, and started out of the dining
room in Indian order, the woman first,
then the husband, then the waiter
who had aided in picking up pearls,
and finally head waiter. The walters
had orders to keep their eyes open
for pearls.

I'm not surprised at his master not

Only he went rather further for the

being now a good four miles inland.
Old Basra, now called Zotbeir, was in
those days-for Sindbad is not an en-
tirely fictitious character-on the sea
or, at least, on the salt tide that ebbed
and flowed along the Khor Abdulla,
then the chief mouth of the Euphrates.
The most conspicuous buildings in
Basra are the British consulate, a
sturdy, verandaed house, that, proper
ly sandbagsed, could give a good &C
count of itself against mere rif1e-hre,
and the Lynch Offices, almost next
door. A little farther upstream is the
Ashar, a creek that extends for some
distance southwark from the river. 1t
is crowded with boats of all sizes,
from canoes to bungalows, and on the
southeastern side is kind of prom
enade between the creek and a row of
tumble-downS houses which represent
the Piccadilly of Basra.
Where Adam Was Created.
Away in old Basra there is not
much to see except the minaret of
Bash-Ayyan, which is, perhaps. $50
years old, and has picturesque court
yard. Nothing, unfortunately, recalls
the Basra of Sindbad any more than
modern Bagdad represents the Bag
dad OF the good Caliph Harun-al-Ras-
child, except the direction OF the
streets and one lump of hard brick
work, which is, alas, fast dropping into
the Tigris. But the date gardens be-
tween Old and New Basra have a spe-
cial interest OF their own, for 1t was
from between the roots of date palm
at Basra that Jehovah gathered
the clay with which he fashioned
Adam In the Garden of Eden. For
this reason the devout Mohammedan
Will never abuse his date trees, how
ever much they fail him, for the COM
mand in the Koran runs: Respect the

The first representative legislative
