Show Home of the Fez. Foz, whoro Mulal Hafld la reported to have been making hay of electric light fittings and everything else that has the taint of Europe, has given Its name to the familiar Turkish equivalent equiva-lent of a hat. At ono time all fezzes came from Fez, It being supposed that only thero could tho exact crimson crim-son dye required bo obtained. It is curious that tho namo of an agricultural agricultu-ral Implement has thus been appropriated appropri-ated by headgear; for foz, or fas, means In Arabic a hoe. The favorlto story is that Idreos 11. , tho founder of tho city, turned tho first sod with ono, remarking: "Hore I plant my fas," Another version Is that an oldor city called Saf enco stood there and Idreos simply transposed its name. . |
