Kitchen Maids of Sultan of Morocco
Entitled to Neither Garments
of Expensive Stuff.

The sultan of Morocco was always
pacity the revenues of the country
were his. There had never been any
distinction between public funds and
private funds-all belonged to the sui
tan. 1t was therefore no easy task
to arrive at an agreement as to which
were state and which private debts. so
inextricably mixed had they been IN
the past. There was, for instance, Il
bill for some hundreds of yards Of
very expensive and very fine crlmson
cloth. Naturally the protectorate au-
thorities scheduled this among the pri-
vate debts. The sultan protested. The
cloth, he said, had been purchased for
governmental purposes--in fact for
the trousers of the imperial kitchen
maids; for there are several hundred
slave-wOmen employed in preparing the
palace food. The protectorate govern
ment refused to be responsible for
this debt. The ex-sultan drew up
historical treatise to prove that i'm
perial kitchen maids were part and
parcel of the state, and passed, like
the palace itself, from sultan to sui
tan. The principle was accepted, but
the debt was disallowed on the ground
that these good ladies did not require
such expensive stuff for their neither
garments. A cotton material, they ar
gued would have equally well served
the purpose. The sultan's reply was
unanswerable and crushing. I'm Eu-

for the imperial kitchen maids to wear
cotton trousers. but in Morocco we

The "Amen Corner -

The phrase "amen corner" is said to
have originated in London, where, at
the end of Paternoster row, the monks
at one time finished their recitation of
the "Pater Noster" as they went in
procession on Corpus Christi day to
St. Paurs cathedral. They began in
Paternoster row with the Lords prayer
in Latin, continuing it to the end of
the street, and then said "amen" at
the corner of the row. As used in this
country the phrase described the cor
ner of a church where the elderly mem
bers sit and pronounce the word
"amen" at intervals
