The mollah, or priest, hus already been to the house, and, the presence of her father, has turned over the leaves of the Koran or Mo- hametan scriptures, and hit on the name of Fathemeh, the daughter of Mohamet the Prophet, so Fathemeh is to be the name of the new-born babe. She is a Persian and in Persia she will live, for it is only with the special per- mission of the shah that a Persion wo- man can live out of her native land.

These days at the bath are an education to the little girl now rapidly approaching womanhood. With the exception of a few lessons with the needle, or on the gular or in the making of preserves, the little maiden has had no other education ex- cept what she gains from hearing older people of her own sex converse. And thus, when she is at the bath and hears the women talking while embroidering » then she also has time they have of eatablishment occupies Si {or smoking after the ablutions are over, she learns much from their conversa- {tion of life in the outside world of { Persia, and she will need all the infor- acquire; for if write, which after she is she and be ever learns to read is not likely, it must | married: That marriage is her inevitable de tiny she learns ag soon as talk.
