PORT SAID ‘TOPSY
CITY' OF EGYPT
Has Neither Ancestry Nor Tradi
tion and “Just Growed.”
In contrast to Luxor, where one ‘
moves under the spell of 3,500 years
ago, Isgypt has a city, Port Sald, which
possesses no more of a past than
Topsy, writes Maynard Owen Williams,
staff correspondent of the National
Geographic society, from Egypt.
“pPort Sald Is a city without roots,
whose sand foundations were gpewed |
up by dredges and whose buildings and ;
population were dropped off by passing
ghips. It has nelther ancestry nor tra
dition. It ‘Just growed.
“The city I 8 as nondescript as E]
population, The high iron fence which
separates the parade from the canal
marks the boundary line between cool
laziness and feverish activity.
“In the harbor, small, powerful tugs
snort here nnd there amid the traffic,
white rowboats with plain flat awn
ings move like palsied shuttles he
tween gang plank and customs quay,
trim cutters from the British meun-o'
war suggest order in the rmmidst of
chaos, and always the coolies coaling
the liners trot up the steep planks,
singing a ceaseless song of ceaseless
toil.
“Although these grimy drudges do
not belong to the nobility, Port Said
owes them much, for this city not only
protects one end of the jugular vein
or hamstring of the empire from en
vious wolves hut has the more profit
able, If less plcturesque honor of being
tho world’s greatest coaling station,
*ln such tiny, obscure ports as
Otaru, ships can bhe coaled in short
order by machinery. But the day of
coaling machinery in Port Sald is just
now dawning.
Coaling and the Coolie,
“Before the mail boats are securely
tied up, night-black barges covered
with night-black men with milk-white
eyes have attached themselves to their
stuunch flanks and the fuel Is pouring
aboard in an endless line of lhnp bus-
Xets borne on the shoulders of sweut
ing men, whose limbs, Geeply coated
with coal dust, seem made of oxidized
metal,
“The baskets are not passed from
hand to hand. IBach man shoulders
his load and trots with it up the steep
planlk, soon reappearing to jump down
into the dusky depths of the barge.
“Steamer to barge, buarge to pile, pile
to barge, bargoe to leviathan or tramp;
one would think that half the sooty
fuel would be lost through frequent
bhandling. But no one can teach Mort
Said anything about coaling—unless it
be the coolie.
“During night coaling, a plank with
six coolies on it dropped with a thud
to the barge deck and for weeks the
coolies refused to coal at night, ex
cept these ships that have side ports,
“This was an awful sacrilege! It is
even hinted that the mail was de
layed. But the P. and O, liners have
side ports and it was not one of them,
g 0 Jove withheld his thunderbolts,
The coolies gave the excuse that they
were tired.
Never Hurry—Except for Drinks,
“But that takes you to the other
gide of the iron fence, There the peo
ple are always tired. Tennis is a game
in which the ball hovers in the air
like a white-breasted gull. Bathing Is
even less strenuous, being conducted
according to Graeco-Roman rules. Golf
moves with dignity rather than incan
descent language., But the drink
steward has developed winged heels
while carrying libations to the gods of
the veranda.
“Phe maln attraction of Port Said,
aslde from the lighthouse whose beams
sweep the shipping safe to port and
the shops where cigarettes, novels by
Michens and Kipling, ostrich feather
fans, kimonos, sun helmets, Japanese
and Syrian damascene, Oriental silks,
Parlsian post cards and cosmetics, and
Abyssinian weapons, is the De Les
seps monument, situated near the in
ner end of the western hreakwater,
“A canal service dredge in action
develops a squeal that reminds one of
Circe's captives, frantic with remorse
and homesickness. But the humble
and complaining dredge Is the pro
tector of traftic and as long as the
squeal continues the procession will
g 0 by.
“It is thought that when Kipling
wrote of thirst culture and the equality
of man ‘east of Suez' he misplaced
Port Said, for the only thing the curlo
dealers do not keep, nor their cus
tomers ask for, are the Ten Command
ments. And when the missionary
ashore from a China boat deplores con
ditions in his sociological discussions
with a red-capped M. P, that weary
individual to whom even murder would
be a relief, dully answers:
“‘You think Port Said is bad? You
ought to have seen it before the war!'"

THE RIGHT TEING
at the
RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFIIEE
SERVANTS
Let every man mind his own busi
ness,—Cervantes,
Tlll'll{E is a certain type of person
who thinks, always, that brusque
ness, even rudeness, to the servants of
his friends shows familiarity with the
ways of the world, Let us hope that
l these persons are those who have had
little chance to get about, little ¢chance
to mingle with those who know how
things should be done—that they ave
those who have never had servants of
their own, and have had few friends
who numbered servants among theif
possessions. Sometimes, unfortunate
ly, we meet women who have always
been used to servants who yet have
an overbearing attitude toward the
gervants of thelr friends, We always
suspect that they gossip with their
own servants, .
Now, in the big cities, at least, serv
ants resent an appearance of friendli
ness of a too informal sort on their
employers' par(s. In thelr relatlon as
servant, especially where they have
specialized, they wish to assume a
deferential manner, just as they wish
to have their employers assume a di
recting manner. ‘That is part of the
game. They expect the same treat
ment from their employers' friends.
But there is n manner, between one
of overbearing haughtiness and one of
ostentatious friendliness, that the well
bred man or woman assumes to his
friends’ servants, And it is really only
the outward manifestation of a kindly
consideration to others, whatever their
rank or walk in life.
To begin with, always greet your
friends’ servants, if you have visited
the house often enough to know then.
{ A simple word of greeting is sufficient.
That is, if you are a week-end guest
{ in a house, and the maid brings a let
-1 . .
ter to your door before bhreakfast, say
E“Gnud morning, Jane.” And always
gthnnk them, shmply, for services ren
. dered, If you call frequently at a
house, and the same servant always
Ennsw(-rs the door, rememnber a simple
" word of greeting then.
S Never ask favors of your friends’
: servants, either when you are visiting
. in their homes or when you might be
i able to make a convenience of them at
some other time.
