A striking pen picture of the habits of thought and life of the modern Hellene is given in v v.ar geography bulletin of the Nation a! Geographic Society, based on a communication to the society from George Higgins Moses, formerly United States minister to Greece. Mr. Moses says: The ancient Athenian democracy has projected itself well-nigh intact into the life of Greece as it is today. Class distinctions are unknown. Titles 4of nobility arc forbidden by the constitution even though every native of Corfu claims to be a Venction count. The Crown Prince is known only as the Diadochos, or Successor. Neither wealth nor education hinders the association of all upon terms of the most absolutely equality. While the great ladies of Athens have an active social career, Greek women, generally speaking, have no individuality. At parties the women generally ".it apart, while in the country they are almost never to be found rSY TO QD Hat ig Dry T THIS It FAIR, COIIH S.

Following the plow, harvesting and working upon the roads are common employments for the Greek peasant woman. Unmarried, her parents and her broth | ers control her conduct, and a hus- j band means merely a change of masters for whom she toils while he sits av ease. An improvement, however, is gradually developing. The Greek, much more than some of his Balkan | neighbors, has outgrown the notion that the sole occupation fit for a man is warfare. Through schools endowed1 and under royal patronage; through ' other enterprises, and especially j through the demands of modern business life, new avenues for employment and advancement are opening for women, and in another generation it is altogether likely that the women of Greece will be found with their sisters of the West demanding as rights what they now regard as great privileges. Education in Greece is overdeveloped at the top. The frame work of the public school system is excellent, but the teacher's profession is held in slight repute and fails to attract either men or women of commanding ability. The Greeks, externally at least, are a deeply religious people, and the feasts and fasts are rigidly observed. When a Greek fasts he fasts in earnest, almost his soul nourishment being a course soup of black beans, palatable and nutritious, but likley to I prove most monotonous after 40 days. I Greek labor, though extremely well' organized, is meagerly paid, day lab-1 orers receiving no more than three drachmae a day (a little less than f>0 cents), while skilled labor in the trades will average hardly more than twice as much. Carpenters, masons and mechanics generally use the most primitive of implements; yet the amount of work which they perform in a day is astonishing. The guilds, or corporations, which correspond to to our labor unions, embrace practically all the manual pursuits. The Greek of today, especially in the country, is the most hospitable of modems.

Because of the great number of Greeks who have returned from Am- i erica, English is often heard, and few ! travelers in the Peloponnesus will fail to recall at almost every railroad station the eager face thrust in at the carriage window and quivering with the demand, "You fellers from Americe?" The curiosity thus manifest in a friendly spirit is typical of the modern Greek, and one traveler recounts an experience at the provincial capital of Amhissa where 29 people gathered and hung with eager interest upon the bargaining as he haggled for three lemons for 19 lepta, a little less than 2 cents. The extent to which immigration has affected life in the smaller towns is shown in the typical case of the village of Megara, on the bay of Eleusis, where the Easter dancing was once rated as a famous marriage mart, but which has lost that distinction for, so many of the young men have gone off to America that the maidens now sigh alone. Time was when these men, having accumulated the 10,000 drcahmae ($2,000) with which they might pass as rich at home, came back to open a little shop and end their days in the semi-indolence of fitful merchandising. Hut at length so many had follow-; ed in this course that some of villages in southern Greece had come I to be like that island in the fable of our childhood, where the inhabitants) lived by taking in each other's washing. So scanty indeed have become these opportunities that I remember one occasion when a steamer came in j with 800 Greeks on board who, having "made their pile" in the States I had come back to sunny Hellas, but after visiting their native villages and seeing how meager were the rewards to be gained, 400 of them promptly took passage back to New York by the same ship. o Get legal blanks at this office. tESALO, CONWAY, S C.
