GYPSIES OF BALKAN LANDS
Eastern Europe Original Home OF the

In the mountainous Balkan lands the
gypsies are as nearly at home as any
where on the planet. There are native
dialects in these parts not unlike their
own and there are regions where the
people resemble them closely in per-
sonal appearance. The Romany name
is surely near akin to the Roumanian.
Yet even here the gypsies are as aliel
to the people as whole as are their
brethren tramping the roads in west
ern America, writes Niksah.
If the ethnologists are right the Bal
kan region is probably the original Eu-
ropean home of the clan and they have
been wandering back and forth across
1t for many centuries. Certainly they
know all the roads and bypaths and In
search for q guide you will sometimes
find q gypsy who will tell you that he
can take you over q certain mountain
pass or through a certain valley, al
though he has never been that way
himself, because he has heard his IA

lore Of the market is to the broker or
lore Of the soil to the farmer, some
thing precious, by which he lives, to be
stored away for reference.
These gypsies of eastern Europe
range back and forth across the tum.
bled Balkan country, all the way from
Constantinople westward to Hungary
and Austria, even as far as Bohemia
and the Russian frontier. OF all the
worlds gypsies they are the most pow.
erty-stricken in appearance, their cara
vans are the most miserable, their dogs
the leanest and their children the dirt
lest. Yet in some ways they are the
