one, as much regard being paid to eti-
uuette as if all were assembled in the
most spacious guestroom in the larg-
est city in the country.
Conversation never lags, and until

telling imaginary stories, others reclt-

Most of the houses of Arabia are
built of sundried bricks; many of them
are three stories high, and all have
flat roofs. AS rule the interiors are
quite devoid of furniture, the coffee
rooster, FOUNDER, pots and cups being
about all that is visible that savors of
daily life and needs. Many Of the
houses are doorless, accounted for by
the scarcity of suitable wood.
Wherever people are found in the
Arabian peninsula with the most limit
ed number of milk-giving animals,
such as sheep, goats or camels, there
will be found the national substitute
for the lard of the occident, or the
olive oil Of other lands, a very favCrite
production called "semmin." This is
butter which is made in a primitive,
simple and unappetizing manner by be-
ing churned in q skin Which has been

mode of procedure is simplicity itself,
the milk being put into the skin and
then either swung backward and for
ward on q tripod, or rolled to and fro
on the ground until the fat of the milk
forms itself into butter. A favOrite
guest is mixture of dates and butter.
Throughout Arabia there are many
things in common among the BedouinS
and the Fellahs, as for example, the
manner of clothing among both sexes;
little distinction is made between rich
and poor, and from mans apparel it
is impossible to get any idea of his So
cial standing.
In all homes it is customary for the
host to assume the place of waiting
during the serving Of food. He takes
his meals after all the others have
been served.
AS in other Mohammedan lands, the
women in the cities and towns of Ara
bia are secluded, but in the village and
camp life they enjoy the same free
dom as the men; the women, too, do q
large share of the work in cooperation
with the male members of the family.
