Neat and Comfortable Syrian Houses,
It is a characteristic of the Syrian
people that money spent in a home is
considered money well spent. Though
not in the least given to rash extrav
agances the Syrian husband is anxious
to surround his family with the com
forts of a good home. He is not willing
to live under the conditions of squalor
and wretchedness that many Italians
will submit to. so as soon as the Syr-

there were nnt a large percentage of
the people who could nafrl and write,
and now there are very few who
cannot. With this stirring to new
progress and culture has come a de
cided tendency toward emigration. The
first emigrants went to Australia be
fore any Syrians came to American,
but they did. not meet with very great
success there, and emigration to that
country has almost ceased. A large
colcny went to Brazil, and there they
have become very prosperous Many
Syrians have gone -- Mexi-a and have
flourished, and they got such a -irong
hold on th® businoaa IS’.era* ls of Hayti
that laws had to be passed against
them. "
la America th*’ success of the Sy
rians has been slower than in Bra-cit
and Mexico, because they have had
more intelligent people . to comoece j aiu
with, but ir. the end it will undoubt- I ADP ; ' .
