EGYPTIANS HAD FIRST FAIRS

Of the pharaohs.

Though country fairs. to Us Of the
METROPOLIS, mean nothing more than
. hit of local color on how the other
half Of the world lives. they are still
an important feature of the social and
commercial intercourse OF many rural
communities, where the facilities for
reaching large centers are not yet
very greatly developed. And 70 they
would seem to be just an adaptation
to natural needs. which they were
from the very beginning, ages and
ages ago. But then they were natural
needs Of very different order.
1t was among the ancient Egyptians
that they started. At the periodic
overflow Of the Nile, which laid waste
almost the entire Nile valley, the peo-
pie In the affected areas would mock
With their produce In barges to the
festivals of various kinds which were
always being held In the large cities
OF in the vicinity Of the great temples.
Here they found ready market for
whatever they had brought with them
and many diversions TO while nway
the time until they could 70 back to
their homes. It Is interesting TO note
that It is still the custom among the
Hindus and other Asiatic races to
flock periodically to the great markets
during festival times.
In the early days Of the church
these celebrations were assigned to
the festival day Of the patron saint Of
the town in which they were held. The
church yard was then given over to
tradesmen for the display Of their
wares and refreshments were served.
Because the Inhabitants Of the town
were supposed to spend the night In
prayer to the patron saint, the festi.
walls At this time were called wakes.
