Women of Old Egypt
Had' Many Privileges
When the Kosetta stone was found
in 1799 and historians were enabied
to give the world a picture of ancient
Egyptian life many were astounded
at the station held by women in Hie
time of Rameses II. The Egyptian
daughter of that time inherited from
her parents an equal share with her
brothers; as a wife she was the reai
and very active mistress of the hou^e.
iu fact, many records indicate that
the husband was iittle more than her
guest, a writer in the Kansas City
Times comments. She went and came
as she liked, talked with whom she
pleased without anyone daring to ques-
tion her actions, went among men
with an uncovered face and adorned
her face and form with all the liberty
displayed by her kind today.
Her gown was a smart short frock
cut decoilete, her iip.s were tinted and
her checks we're powdered; her eyes
were coquettishly emphasized and to
her hair dresser she went once every
ten or twelve days. If she was thu
wife in a family in average circui t
stances she rose at daybreak, prepared
breakfast, sent the men off to ti:«
workshop or their business, sent tho:-e
children more than eight years old to
school and the younger ones to drive
tire geese or catlie to pasture and then
occupied herself with household du
ti:'S for the rest of the day. The
women ef the higher social- scale seem
to have done little except to lavish
time and attention on their persons
that' they might appear to advatitarav
in their strolls and visits abroad.

Luxemburg Has Much
to Attract the Tourist
About all the average person knows
about Luxemburg is that it is a smell
country somewhere between Belgium
and Germany. !.::t the little country
possesses some r.ires scenery. The
country is as old as most of its neigh
.tors, and Home thought it important
enough to fortify it, centuries ago.
From its ducnj family have come
queens of France and emperors of
Germany. The city of Luxemburg is
a rocky gem in a forest setting, an3.
according to Edwin Robert Petre.
travel writer, from here one can look
to Treves and Thionville, and not
o:;!y into Germany but to Longwy and
the north of France, Arlon. Brussels
and the coasts of Belgium. The old
fortress of Vauban has been mod
ernized so that its gloom no longer
shadows the city. When the visitor
has seen its sights, such as the duke's
palace, in Spanish Renaissance style,
the Seventeenth century cathedral, its
bridge and viaducts, the palace of tin
".\rhed." the Mnsee Pescator and its
wonderful parks, he has before him
some of the hest motor roads in Eu
rope for a spin through the duchy to
see its other cities and towns.—De

Her Luncheon >
He met her by chance and as he
was on his way to luncheon he asked
her if she would not go with him, so
they could talk over old times to
gother.
"I've had my luncheon," she re
plied, "but I'll be glad to sit down
with you so that we can talk while
you eat."
In tlie restaurant, after a few min
utes' conversation, she admitted that
>he would rather like a glass of iced
tea. and while she was sipping that
she remarked: "That sandwich of
yours looks pretty good. I rather*thinU
1 could eat one like it.'' Later she
allowed him to order another glass of
iced tea for her and another sand-
wich. and then an order of mocha pie
and another srlass of tea.

Warrior's Paradise
The word "Valhalla" means "hall 01
the slain." In old Norse mythology,
it was the abode of Odin in Asgard
It was originally the home of the dead,
meaning something like the heaven
of Christian peoples, but in the viking
age it be:ame known as the home ot
those who were slain in battle, a sort
of warriors' paradise. Tt was situated
in the region of joy. It contained
many halls hung with spears and
shields, and it was roofed with gold
and supplied with food served by the
Valkyries, a company of heautlfn'.
maidens. The warr'lors spent their
days delighting themselves in battle,
and their evenings eating and drink
ing.
Telephonetic Impast
A telephone operator was at one end
of the wire and a little girl, who had
answered her ring, ait the other. The
operator, obeying one of the rules laid
down by the company, was trying to
get the child to call an older person.
She began, according to the rule, by
asking:
"Is your mama there?"
"No."
"Is your sister there?"
"No. There's no one here but
grandma and me and the cat. Grand
nn can't hear and the cat can't talk.'

Buick for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when t.\. ::: chsn^cs. And
note how they give ether cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of "performance" until you've
driven a Buick for 1928.
