BRIDAL PARADE OF
EGYPT PORTRAYED

About thirty children gathered
in the Children's room at the Ii
brary, Saturday afternoon, Nov rs,
and listened with close interest to
the stories of Egypt which Miss
Ruth Work told them. Miss Work
is the sister OF the Rev. Mclean
Work, Of the United Presbyterian
church here and has been charge of
a children's school in Egypt for 20
years. Stories of several Arabian
children, who had come to their
school, were among those told.
Pleasing her audience still more,
Miss Work showed them some of
the things she had brought from
Egypt. There were gaily colored
handkerchiefs which girls in Egypt
wear in school, and ear rings,
anklets and bracelets. Boys wear
red fezzes all day, in school and
out, Miss Work told them San
dals and wells and street costumes
worn by Egyptian women were
shown.
One Of the most unique displays
portrayed by Miss Work was that
Of a wedding procession in Egypt,
showing the bride on her camel,
followed by her friends and neigh
bors who rode in huge, saddle bags
at the sides of the camels. She i'm
itated the 10y cry" which the wo-
men make during this parade.
1t is unusual to have such a
unique story teller as Miss Work
and the hour was a most enjoyable
one.
Snow" stories were to be told
Saturday afternoon, Dec. 3, by Miss
Maxine Murray.
On the following Saturday, Mrs.
Brandon Griffis will tell stories.

The author details the very interest
ing experiences of a woman--a lone
woman, too--who took up farm sec-
ton in New Mexico. and despite her
inexperience and lack of knowledge,
made a success of the venture. The
many details of her task of conquering

though she was unusually fortunate In
securing some good and faithful help
ers--the perplexities of successful cul-
tivation, the character and variety of
the people, being set forth in a story
that is full of entertainment throughout.
Also. there are vivid descriptions of the
country, with it's great mountain peaks,
their slopes covered with verdure, the
beautiful scenery, and the heaithful.

of the time.
The material for the book was con-

ton, Mass: The Cornhin Co, "a
Park street. Price. 81. net.
Covering a period of years. says the
author. these Thoughts We're written
from day to day as circumstances arose
to give them BIRTH" They comprise
pertinent expression and comment
about various subjects. enumerated as
follows: Character. Childhood. Crime,
Dress. Economics. Ethics, Fads, Friend
ship, Government, Industrial, Kindness.
Observations, Parenthood, Pleasure,
Political, Psychological. Religion.
Vocational. War, Youth.
MIR. Korns expressed himself tersely,
wittily. and with truth and epigram-
matte force. A few of his thoughts may
give some impression of all:
People who win do unfair things for
you are likely to do unfair things 10 you.
The most wanton torture is that Of
the rich trying to kill time.
The more ignorant a man is the more
he thinks he ought to govern some
one else.
Many things are serious only in pro-
portion as we feel them.
The heaviest tasks are liable TO be
heaped on the most conscientious mem
ber of the family.
The nation having the strongest war
footing can easily find an excuse for
going to war.
