T2l BUNDAY ’T‘ales of Well In Social and ( Official Life! Known Folk ‘ A Recent Bride Minister Jardine, U, S. Representative in Egypt, Privileged to Witness Observance of Pic- turesque Old-Time Custom. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. The former Secretary of Agriculture, | Mr. Willlam M. Jardine, who recently | sailed for his post as Minister to Egypt, will this coming Octeber witness one of the picturesque events now rapidly be- ing discarded. This is the eeremonial departure of the caravan fram Cairo, sent by the King of Egypt to bear the | holy ecarpet to Meeca in the annual pilgrimage of pious denizens of the Nile. This holy carpet is sent on the | finest dromedary which may be found | in Egypt. and this swiftly striding beast | is flanked by others siso eaparisoned | in royal state. Railroads, steamships, | motor cars, airplanes have by degrees | eliminated the riding camel in all parts | of the desert, and likewise the trade | caravans which are the earliest means | of transportation mentioned in the an- | nals of civilization. But though King | Fuad has all modern methods of travel- | ing to put at the disposal of his sub- jects about to depart for Mecea on the traditional pilgrimage, he clings to the ancient ceremony of the caravan after the manner of his forefathers. In con- sequence this unique event lures tour- ists to Egypt a month in advance of the with | opening season and excellent financial results. ‘The holy carpet travels under a regal howdah, and the dromedary has & nose rope composed of gold and jeweled links with magnifi- cent tapestries and rugs, and a special representative of the King is in his train, * o ox ok | Mr. Ralph Harman Booth of Detroit, | who has been Minister to Denmark, | has fully realized that Copenhagen is one of the popular cities of Europe for his country people, and especially for the section from his own State who | make the tour of Europe in motor cars. But Copenhagen has room and to spare | for all the cars which roll in during | July and August when the famous re- | gort, Tivoli, is the magnet for all who | like color and excitement. Tivoli is| known as Europe’s Coney Island, and those who have tarried night after | night attest that it is rightfully named, but that prices are about one-fourth Jess than at Gotham's mammoth play- ground. Tne Tivoli gardens are just across the street from the big railroad station and the cool waters of the North Sea wash it on. three sides. There is every attraction that is offered in eny other part of the world where electric- ity turns the trick, and some unique Jjourney will be overland through an- clent and picturesque areas until Addis Ababa, capital of Abyssinia, is reached about October 28. Mr. Cooke has mas- tered all varigties of etiguette and has diligently studied all detalls of this his- tori¢ land of East Africa. Although he has only been ofieially in charge of ceremonials since 1912, for many years he had acted as a prop and a stafl for | social Washington. Not alone in regard to precedent and all the thorny ques- | tions growing out of it, but he has al- ways proved most amiable in answering questions as to proper apparel and the | mode of progedure at all formal fune- tons. Born in Washington, Mr. Cooke | comes from a colonial family established in Frederick, Md., prior to the stormy | years when the stamp act and its com- missioners were burnt in effigy. His father was the late Luther M. Cooke, and his mother, who had been Mary Stephens, was well known in the Capi- tal's social and club life. The hospitable home near the Monocacy held a apecial welcome for fishermen, and many rec- ords for bass catching have been made on the river thereabout * ok ok % The home of Count and Countess Folke Bernadotte in Stockholm is planned entirely after the manner of | living in the United States.
