Celia was what is known as a maid of all work. That is, she cooked, cleaned and washed for her living Sometimes she fared well, and some- times there were places where even her simple demands were refused and then it was she was forced to move on and search for a new place. She did not demand much, She wanted a clean room and a little time to her- self. What Celia really needed was undennndlnr. She did not mind hard work, for she was strong and well, but she liked an occasional kind word and cheery smile, for even in her simple mind those things meant ife. When she went back to the intelli- gence office after losing her last place the woman greeted her none too “Why don't you specialize in some- thing,” she said quickly, “I have po- sitions’ for cooks and ladies' maids. Do you think you could try some- tMnT like that?" Celia knew that she could not cook elaborately enough to go out as a cook. She could do well enough for ordinary requirements, but her spe- cialties were nothing extra. A ladies’ maid she did not want to be, Weren't there any positions for general house- work? she inquired timidly, “I have one here, five in family, minister's wife. Think you'd like that?” And the woman ‘looked up. “It'll be hard, but you might as well try it." 2 “Well, théy want you right away. here's the address. ‘xyou can go right up.” And once more the woman bent over her huge book while Celia made her way out to the street. The street that Celia had on the sh’) of paper was mot in a fashion- able neighborhood. A tired little woman with a sweet face opened the door to her ring, and she smiled very sweetly as she said: “You must he the new maid. Won't you-come right in? You'll finc things pretty well upset, but I have had so much to do all alone," Celia smiled in response and fol- lowed the little woman upstairs to a very plain, very clean little room with a comfortable looking bed and a pic- ture of a baby hung over a little oak dresser. | . "This is your room. The nursery is right down the hall. I have three | children,” and the little woman's face lighted up as if that possession were | the dearest in the world. “Would you | like to see them? They are getting | ready for bed now. I put them to bed | | | at five-thirty every night.” | Celia had never been treated with | such an air of equality before; it| made her feel happier somehow, and | she did like children if they were nice | children, “Here they are,” said the mother. “Donald, this is Celia, she's going to help mother take care of you. Say how do you do, Howard, and baby, can't you smile a little? This is my little girl, Rose Marie.” The children all crowded about Celia and again that little feeling of belonging swept to her heart. After- ward when she was following Mrs. Townsend downstairs she said im- “I hope you will,” was the quick response. “The work won't be easy, | but we are all very happy, and there's plenty to love.” ! And Celia resolutely squeezed back | a rear, a little chary of showing that | she was silly enough to cry because | and a knuckle bone, cover with about ! four quarts of cold water, add a little | she was happy. THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, Society Notes : Personal Gossip : Woman’s Work : Household Topics > In the City of the Dead A view of Petra’s tombs. These pictures are printed by permission of the American Museum of Natural History. ‘ By GARRETT P. SERVISS. One of the most extraordinary places on the earth is a valley near the northwestern border of Arabia, con- taining the “dead city” of Petra, the Biblical Sela, meaning “rock.” It lies eastward of the remarkable depres- sion of El Ghor, or the Wad-el-Araba, a strange cleft in the earth’s crust which huns northward from the Aka- ba arm of the Red Sea, and contains in its deepest part the Dead Sea, whose surface is nearly 1,300 feet be- low sea level, At some time in the geologic past the rocks fell away along the line of this depression, leaving a “fault” in the crust. It is bordered with wild, barren mountains. Near the Mount Hor of the Bible a way exists leading from El Ghor to a basin among the mountains which constitutes the val- ley of Petra. This valley, surrounded by steep and rugged slopes and per- pendicular precipices, is of an “L” shape, its enclosed plain covering about one square mile. A more secluded and unexpected site for a city could not be imagined and yet there was a time when Petra contained, it said, 100,000 inhabitants, and when it certainly enjoyed great commercial prosperity and was adorn- ed with costly buildings of architec- tural splendor, The most signal natural feature of Petra is .a gorge, or canyon, a mile in length, hundreds of feet deep and in places only ten feet wide, which serves as the entrance way into the now abandoned and ruined city. It is very difficult to get into the val- ley over the surrounding mountains, so that the crooked gorge is like a gateway in the shape of a long, nar- row, high-walled passage, which could easily be made absolutely impassable. Through the gorge runs a stream which abundantly supplied the city within, and was in former times carefully restrained within its banks, while a tunnel through the rock pro- | € vided for the overflow and prevented inundation. The gorge is now partly choked with rocks and debris accu- mulated during many centuries, but in the days of Petra's splendor it was as well cared for as a street. At present Petra is only a scattered skeleton of a city, haunted at night by jackals, and partly occupied in the rainy season by wandering tribes with their sheep, goats and cattle. The floor of t{:c valley is covered with broken and dispersed ruins, while the steep walls encircling it are honey- combed with innumerable tombs, many of great size, and magnificently sculptured, and all cut out of the na- tive rock, a kind of sandstone, which glows with color—red, rose, purple and yellow. In addition to the tombs, many of which have been partly obliterated by the wear of time, there are, also cut out of the solid rock, a number of | n large temples, One of these, the Deir, has a facade about 160 feet in length. In the wall of the entrance passage itself is cut a beautiful tem- ple, called the Khazneh, whose col- umns, capitals and other architectural details' excite the admiration of all who see them, Some of the architectural features of the ruined city date back to the times of the Nabatacans, who were urn carved from solid rock in Petra. Note the size as compared to the size of the man, contem‘porary with the early king- dom of the Israelites. Others are Greek, dating from the days of the Greek domination over Petra, and Ro- man, for Petra was once an impor- tant city of the Roman empire, and was visited by the Emperor Hadrian. It owed its prosperity to the fact that it lay on the great caravan route from the east to Europe, but after the rise of Palmyra, the desert capital of Queen Zenobia, Petra began to de- cline, and its commerce was diverted. In the early centuries of our era Petra was Christianized, but the Mohammedians afterward drove out the Christians. It was captured by the Crusaders, who built a citadel, some of fhose ruing are yet to be seen, but they abandoned it in 1189, and after that it sank into ob- 1916. scurity, While in possession of the Crusaders its fame had gone all over Europe, but from the end of the twelfth to the beginning of the nineteenth century it was virtually forgotten and no European saw it until Burckhardt, the traveler, visited it in 1812, Still, on account of difficulty of access and of danger from the wild tribes living in its vicinity, it was seen by very few travelers during the whole of the nineteenth century. Within the last decade, however, the Turkish government has made regulations that have removed many of the obstacles to visitors. Among the most recent visitors to Petra are Lee Garnet Day and Joseph Wood, jr, who describe their visit in the American Museum Journal, celebrated By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Are you one of the people who have lived for ten years in a great aparte ment house and have no idea who oc- ies the floor above them, the floor below, or, perhaps, even the apart- ment across the hall? Nowadays very few people are friends with the “folks next door.” The kindly little world in which peo- the neighborhood has grown from simple town ways to over-dignified city ones, Down in the village from which your grandmother came you shared whatever of good or ill came to the people in the houses around and, in- cidentally, their butter, or eggs, when you happened to run short; and there was a great deal of happy warmth in hearts and manners, City life has changed all this.

Sitting in lonely, lofty dignity and ignoring all the pleasant people about you seems to be considered quite the correct thing in the city. It isn't correct—it's only dreary and foolish and stodgy and altogether absurd. Dotted all over our land there are villages where the kindly country ways are still enforced. There'people rop into each other’s houses at all hours of the day and ‘night in the happy fashion of genuine friends. No one is ever too busy or too cold- bloodedly absorbed in his own affairs and his search for money and position to refuse a lift to a neighbor who needs help over a rough place ot sympathy with some one who is bursting with good news he “just has to tell.” One of the tragedies of city life is that far, far too many of us have learned to be cruelly suspicious of people we don't know and so are afraid to give the benefit of the doubt absolute written guarantee of respec- tability. A few years ago in the middle west men used to boast that they always believed a man honest unless he roved himself a thief. But in the | big cities the rule seems to be to be- lieve people thieves until they prove themselves honest! Can't we recover some of the old neighborliness of heart and spirit which will make it possible for us to give a friendly greeting to the people who live about us? Can't we learn to feel that the joys and sorrows, the hopes and fears and the movements, great and small, of those who have been brought close to us in the congestion of city life are really close to our hearts too?
