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

The sultan of Morocco was always an absolute monarch, and in that ca pacity the revenues of the country were his. There had never been any distinction between public funds and private funds-all belonged to the sul- tan. It was therefore no easy task to arrive at an agreement as to which were state and which private debts, so inextricab1y mixed had they been in the past. There was, for instance, bill for some hundreds of yards Of very expensive and very fine crimson 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. Tle protectorate govern ment refused to be responsible for this debt. The ex-sultan drew up a historical treatise to prove that inn perial kitchen maids were part and parcel of the state, and passed, like the palace itself, from sultan to sul- 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 nave equally we'll served the purpOse. The sultan's reply was unanswerable and crushing. "In Flu rope" he said, "it may be the custom Cor ho ia1 Eifnhnn 6a fn cotton trousers. but in Morocco we

CHAPTER i'.

Another citizen said an eloquent thing about Miss Isabel Amberson's looks. This was Mrs. Henry Franklin Foster, the foremost literary authority and intellectual leader of the conn munfty-for both the daily newspa- ners thus described Mrs. Foster when she founded the WOmen's Tennyson club; and her word upon art, letters and the drama was accepted more as law than as opinion. Naturally when Hazel Kirke" finally reached town, after its long triumph In larger places, many people waited to hear what Mrs, Henry Franklin Foster thought of it before they felt warranted in ex- pressing any estimate of the play. In fact. some of them waited in the lobby of the theater as they came out and formed an inquiring group about her.
 "I didn't see the play" she in formed them.
 What! Why. we saw you, right in the middle of the fourth row!'
 "Yes," she said smiling, "but I was sitting just behind Isabel Anderson. I couldn't look at anything except her wevy brown hair and the wonderful back of her neck"
 The ineligible young men of the town (they were all ineligihle) were unable to content themselves with the view that had so charmed Mrs, Henry Franklin Foster; they spent their time struggling to keep Miss AmbersNn's face turned toward them. She turned it most often, observers said, toward two: one excelling in the general struggle by his sparkle, and the other by that winning if not winsome old trait, persistence. The sparkling gen tleman lied germans" with her, and sent sonnets to her with his bOu- uuets-sonnets lacking neither music nor wit. He was generous, poor, we'll dressed, and his amazing persuasive ness was one reason why he was al- ways in debt. No one doubted that Ie would be able to persuade Isabel, but he unfortunately joined too merry n party one night, and during moon light serenade upon the lawn before the Anderson mansion, was easily identified from the windows as the person who stepped through the bass viol and had to be assisted to a wait ing carriage. One of Miss Amberson's brothers was among the serenaders, and when the party had dispersed re- mained propped against the front door in a state of helpless livelfness; the Major going down in dressing gown and slippers to bring him in, and scolding mildly, while imperfectly con- cealing strong impulses to laughter. Miss Anderson also laughed at this brother the next day, but for the suitor it was a different matter: she refused to see him when he called to apologize. "You seem to care a great

1 ofically taken for ''a little drive round our city," even if his host had to hire hack, and the climax of the display ! was the Anderson mansion. Look at that greenhouse they've put up would continue. And look at that brick stableI Most folks would think that stable plenty big enough and good enough to live in; it's got run ming water and four rooms upstairs for two hired men and one of 'em's family to live in. They keep one hired man lOafin' in the house, and they got married hired man out in the stable, and his wife does the washing. This town never did see so much style as Ambersons are putting on these days; and guess it's going to be expensive, because a lot of other folks'll try to keep up with lem. The Majors wife and the daughters been to Europe, and my wife tells me since they got back they make tea there every after noon about five o'clock and drink it. Seems to me it would go against a persons stomach, just before supper like that, and anyway tea isn't fit for much-nOt unless you're sick or some thing. Looks to me like some people in this city'd be willing to go crazy if they thought that would help 'em to be as high-toned as AmbersOns. Old Aleck Minafer-he's about the closest old cOdger we gOt-he come in my of fee the other day, and he pretty near had stroke tellin' me about his daughter Fanny. Seems Miss Isabel Alnberson's got some kind of dog they call 1t St. Bernard-and Fanny was bound to have one, too. Well, old Aleck told her he didn't like dogs except rat terriers. because rat ter rier cleans up the mice, but she kept on at him, and finally he said all right she could have one. Then, by George! she says Amberson's bought their dog, and you don't get one without paying for it: they cost from fifty to hundred dollars up! Old Aleck wanted to know if I ever heard of anybody's buyin' a dog before, be- cause, even Newfoundland or set ter, you can usually get somebody to give you one. He says he saw some sense in payin' a nigger a dime, or even a quarter, to drown a dog for you. but to pay out fifty dollars and maybe more-well, sir, he like to choked himself to death, right there in my office! Of course everybody realizes that Major Anderson is fine business man, but wh9t with throwin' money around for dogs, and every which and what. some think all this styles bound to break him up, if his family don't quit!''
 One citizen, having thus discoursed to a visitor, came to thoughtful pause, and then added, Does seem pretty much like squandering, yet when you see that dog out walking with this Miss Isabel, he seems worth the money"
 Whats she look Hke?"
 Well, sir" said the citizen, "she's not more than just about eighteen or maybe nineteen years old, and l don't know as I know just how to put it. but she's kind of delightful loOkin' young lady!"

 Except upon the surface (which was not his own work but his mother's) Georgie bore no vivid resemblance to the fabulous little Cedric. The sto- rfed, boys famous "Learf on me, grand father" would have been difficult to imagine upon the lips of Georgie.s A month after his ninth birthday anni

He fought them, learning how to go baresark at a cer- tain point in a fight. bursting into tears of anger, reaching for rocks, ut terfng walled threats of murder, and attempting to fulfill them. Fights often led to intimacies, and he ac- quired the art of saying things more exciting than Don't haf tor and Doctor says it afn't healthy!"

 This was stock and stencil: the ac- customed argot of street badinage of the period and in such matters Geor- gle was an expert. He had no vest to pull down; the incongruous fact was that fringed sash girdled the juncture of his velvet blouse and

The phrase "amen corner" is said to have originated in London, where, al the end of Paternoster row, the monk at one time finished their recitation c. the "Pater Noster" as they went in procession on Corpus Christi day to St. Paul's cathedral. They began in Paternoster row with the Lords prayer in Latin, continuing it to the end ol the street, and then said amen" at the corner of the row.
