CLUB HEARS MRS. REGINALD OWEN AT MEETING TUESDAY Daughter of William Jennings Bryan Speaks on “Cairo" or “The Arabian Nights" Mrs. Reginald Owen. the daughter of William Jennings Bryan. was the speaker at the Ossoli Club meeting Tuesday afternoon. Her subject was “Cairo â€"â€" or the Modern Arabian Nighta'i. Mrs. OWen has visited Cairo on many occasions and for three years lived in that ancient city. \l In her childhood days in Nebnska she used to lie face downward on the floor in front of the fire place. read- ing the Arabian Nights, becoming so absorbed, she failed'to hear. or at least to respond, to her mother’s call to help with the household duties. Later when she was a resident of Cairo, the Arabian Nights were a present reality and the Arabs, their streets. their bazaars and their cof- fee houses Were far more interesting to her than the European life on the veranda at Shoppards or the after- noon teas at the country club. Residing there for such a long per- iod. they established a residence and set up housekeeping. maintaining a butler, an assistant butler. a male cook, an assistant cook and a gard- ener. paying this rather large retinue the sum of $40.00 per month. One of the interesting phases of Arabic city life. is the professional letter-writers. with which one sideof the bazaar street is lined. tho-'0 writ‘ r, mu ushtm en: conduct the correspondence of the natives. and owing to the limited knowh-dgv uf the English language. many comical errors are made. When MN. Owen's butler wished to (ommunicato with her. instead of asking for an interview. he emplm- ed a lettervwritm', and she warniâ€" ways receiving these written mes- sages. One was addressed to “Horn- ed Lady", the intention being “Honor- ed Lady". A servant failing to ap- pear for his work, sent Mrs. OWE“ a note. saying “My wife has run .\ (l 1H ‘Jl it; 01' SOCIAL ACTIVITY U M M '1” dmnvr partiw uiH hr p1 l’\'(’l‘.ll!): «Thursduw pl‘vl‘r Thunk~uivinu dzmw u! l 1 Park «'luh.

"[UH Alm< Wedding processions are likewise interesting. but also pathetic. the cusâ€" tom being for the bride to put her household belongingg, furniture. bed- ding, etc, on a wagon, and with a band of music in front, escort her possessions through the streets toher future home. She rides in a closed carriage. peeping out to watch the safety of her belongings. The groom celebrates by giving a bachelor party to his friends: in a tent of brilliant patchwork, he receives; the band plays. dancing girls entertain, mflee and vigarettes are served. there is much gaiety, much good natured badinage and the celebration is a joyful occasion. g|‘rKv-l-u\l) \\ ht While one may live in Cairo, it. is not possible to know the inner lives of the natives; one known them only in the street. the baunrs and the (-ofiec houses. but cannot penetrate the homes. One of the strongest impressions of her life there. Mrs. Owen says. is a visit to the top of a minaret on an old mosque at sunset. The winding stairs are on the outside of the tqwer and ench turn in the stairs gives one a different View of thv city. There is a fascination. a lure. that is in- It Er: rxlualzlv aml intlefinuble; she had often felt it herself and had noticed the same t-fi'ect upon others. so she used to invite her friends in I cnunl manner. to rlimb the minaret with her at sunset, just to see if they too would fall under the spell.
