As its name denotes, this most unsuitable head-dress for a southern climate at one time did really cover the neck, but it has long ceased to afford that protection. It is said that its lack of a brim is due to a Turkish regulation. The condition of the ordinary Greek priest is, as a rule, one of abject and dismal poverty. Being unpaid by the state, he has to live as best he can, and support his wife and family for he is a married man on the fees which he receives from his flock for baptisms, ma...r- riages, and funerals, and which are usually paid in kind after arrangement with the parties concerned, and on presents at Easter. In the country he may be seen till- ing his field, scarcely, if at all, distinguishable in cul- ture or wealth from the poorest peasant of the village. He is not allowed to keep a shop, but his son is not infrequently the proprietor of the local inn or general store, and he may often be seen there fraternizing with other men of the hamlet on equal terms, for he enjoys no social superiority whatever by virtue of his cloth.
