Missionary Minnehaha Finney Shows Egyptian Curios

Iowa, 1903

Egyptian Social Is Unique

Atlantic, March 12. — Miss Minnehaha Finney, an Egyptian missionary, who is home for a year's vacation from her labors, assisted the numbers of the Y. P. C. U. of the United Presbyterian church in giving an Egyptian social, which was a very unique affair.

Miss Finney conducted the visitors on a tour through Egypt, being assisted by many pictures representing the country, cities, and the employment, customs and habits of the people. A native bride, a peasant girl and a boy, also one wearing the usual street costume, were present and assisted.,

Another attraction was the table of curios containing specimens of dress, literature and articles used in their superstitious customs.
