Persian house is divided into the BIZ

anderoom, or part consecrated to the
women. A strong door. set in a high

courtyard on which open several
rooms. Here the men live. and here
they usually entertain their friends.
while their women dwell in rooms set
round an inner courtyard. the only
entrance to which is through the

earliest youth that a woman's advice
is of no account-in fact the priests
tell him that he had better do the
exact opposite of what woman coun-
sels-it can be understood that as a
rule he has no exalted opinion of his
wife or wives. and seldom turns to
them for cOmpanionship."

TRIESTE: A PLUM OF THE
ADRIATIC DISPUTE

Trieste Is one Of the major Adriatic
plums in dispute between Italy and

kingdom Of the Serbs. Croats and
Slovenes.
Though Trieste was Austrian, ex-
cept for a brief interval from the
fourteenth century until the World
war dissipated the Austrian empire.
the city has had a marked effect upon
Italian history. Its chief importance
to Austria was commercial, for it was
the dual monarchy's only great sea-
port.
Tired of a double allegiance TO
Venice and to AQuieleia. Trieste re-
quested that she be annexed to Aus
tria in 1882. Leopold the pious was

Of consequence was that of Trieste,

Thus Austria gained what was des-
tined to become not only seaport Of
erting frequent influence upon the af-
fairs Of Italian towns and their rulers
The city is situated on the Gulf Of
Trieste, 1857 miles southwest Of Vienna
by rail. 1t lies on the seaward slope
Of the Karst. or Carso, a strip Of lime
stone hills extending inland from 60 to
90 miles. furrowed with ravines and
pierced by caverns. into which many
small streams disappear.

where tourists throng to see the

United States capitol and a hundred
feet higher than the capitol dome.

Traces Of Trieste's early history
were to be found before the war in

Cleveland's marriage in the second

From the day Cleveland entered the

Dusily made matches for him with one

Mrs. Folsom and her daughter were
guests of the president and Miss Cleye-

young girl who was present at a re-
ception-all in white-would in anoth-

There had been only one marriage
