WHO SPUN ARABIAN NIGHTS?
Authorship of Book That Has En-
tranced Thousands Has Never
Been Definitely Ascertained.

The authorship of the arabian
Nights" is unknown, but 1t was intro
,luced to the reading world by a
Frcnch linguist and traveller named
|. Antoine Galland, who was born in
1876 and died in 1T15. Starting as a
country boy, with meager education
obtained in a provincial town Of
france, he became famous as an orr
entalist, archeologist and master of
far eastern literature. For several
years he was employed in cataloguing
oriental manuscripts at the Sorbonne
IN Paris, and then he Travelled in the
Cast, studying its languages and liter
nture and accommodating rare manu-
scripts. On one of these trips he had
the title Of "Antlquary to the King
conferred upon him. During his pro-
longed residences abroad he acquired
thorough knowledge of the Arabic,
Turkish and Persian languages, and
in 1904 he began the publication of Il
book entitled in French 'Ies Mile
ct Une Nuts" meaning, "The Thou
sand and One Nights" He did not
claim to be the author Of the work,
but merely the translator and editor.
The book was represented as being
translated from the Arabic, but no
name OF an author was given or ever
has been. Galland himself may have
written the stories in Arabic and then
translated them into French, for he
was capable of doing it and such liter
airy tricks have been common. In 1903
Galland was appointed to the chair of
Arabic in the College of France, and
he continued TO hold that post until
his death, in 1T16. His French YER
sion of the stories was translated into
English. ~

LITTLE OLD LADY EXPLAINS
Simply Couldn't Help Telling Men
They Were Unnecessarily Worried
I Over Tin Plate Shortage.

The war Is mothering q race Of gi-
ant problems, but there are always
atoms:
;le was n little old lady in the
cll;a-ribbon class, except that the rib
boas were black net to match her bon
net. And her collar was pinned with
an ancient cameo set in twisted gold,
thin and battered, as If Father Time
had used it to cut his teeth on-the
SORT Of cameo that you either consider
priceless or junk, according to the
way you look at thlngs-and a silver
spangled black fan. She was winnow-
ing the fan with gentle regularity when
her interest was caught by newspa-
per headline which man read cut to
another man seated with him directly
in front. The men were discussing the
subject with obvious concern when the
old lady, moved with COM ssion,
leaned forward and touched the reader
with her fan.
pardon me, gentlemen, but as a
housckeeper for many years, / think
| can relieve your anxiety. lin plates
have not been in use for ages. Even
pie plates are made of graniteware
now. When was a bride ! took 4
great pride in my row OF shining tins,
and my cook was equally careful, but
the times have changed-I think may
say there is no demand whatever"
Those two men--God love them -
after the puzzle In their eyes had Civ
en- way to humorous understanding,
thanked the little old lady most appre-
ciaiiyely. They even came across
sudden Joke TO lay their chuckles on.
And they made no further reference

Rise of the Office Boy.

The coming of the Office boy in Eng
land has often been a subject for com
ment since the outbreak of the war.
Slowly but surely he has mounted in
importance, taking the place of one
clerk after another. until his horizon
today is only bounded, and that not at
all certainly by the boss office. A re-
cent writer relates the following incl
dent, which shows the Office boys prog
ress: Both the principals were out,
and the Office boy explained this fact
to a gentleman who called. Observing
with sympathy, however, the gentle
mans discontinue at their absence, he
suddenly drew forth his watch and
encouraglngly added: 'But one or the
other of EMS bound to be here in ten
minutes, because it'll be my dinner
hour."-Christian Science Monitor.

WOMEN and WORK
World Getting New View Of the
Plantations of Sex"
Even In Japan Feminine Workers Are
Invading the Factories, Stores
and Offices.

A writer in the New East pictures
the coming of Japan's new woman IN
ways that would be impressive were
there no Europe and no world war. We
have heard before that bound feet are
no more in China, that Picking believes
in education for girls and that all
through the Flowery land the Ameri-
can sewing machine is giving a good
account of itself, we are now assured
that Japan, politically modernized for
well nigh half century, is deep in the
task of completing the emancipation Of
her women from the patriarchal sys-
| TEN, says writer in the Boston Her
aid.
Vast numbers of them have found
occupations in the factories; other
contingents are at work inSthe Offices
and In that newest innovation of all,
the department store. The age of bus
mess has at last dawned for the island
empire, and the click of the typewriter
is heard in the land. Meanwhile there
is rush of women to the professions.
1t Is the women now who are sought
for the stage, and the demand has been
found large enough to warrant the for
nation of dramatic schools attached to
the large theaters. A woman doctor
used TO be an impossibllity in Japan.
AT this years examination for medical
| practice in Tokyo ~ out of 80 candi-
dates who passed were women. And
the call for woman teachers in the
schools grows apace.
Compare this peaceful type of evolu
ton with the changes which have
come to the western people under the
stress of war. In cur own land the
women, once socially active mainly
through their churches and clubs, are
now fast closing up into a great CO.
operative organization which has food
conservation for its detail and nation
al defense for its unifying spirit and
end.
At a demonstration given the other
day by English women in HEREFORD
shire ] 900 of them gathered to show
their proficiency in trimming bitches.
hoeing roots, cartlng, and dozen
other kinds Of farm work which they
had taken up to libcrate the men, and
an eyewitness describes the remarka-
BILE showing made by these bands of
llthe-limbed maidens, with brown
faces under SLOUGH hats, marching in
knee breeches and leggings or put
tees" On the battle front American
women are helping the allies as driv-
ers of ambulnnces and motorcars; in
both France and England women run
buses, conduct trains and function in
scores of occupations that have been
hitherto reserved for men. What
would the war amount TO were it not
for the army of woman workers in the
muntion factories? Then think of
Russia, which sends out woman war
riors to show her men how battles are
won.
1t should be plain that after this
struggle the world win never again be
exactly the same for women. We shall
have the steady evolution of social and
industrial structure such as Japan is
now displaying but we shall also have
a new view Of the so-called Limitation
of SEX" Complete recognition Of the
fact that women are also human he
ings is assured beyond peradventure.
