Turkish lady’s attire similar to that worn by the women of the occident. Amusing;- ly little is known, in fact, about the wardrobe of the women of the harem, ' and the average American woman has, little idea. regarding it, save that all Turkish women wear trousers and a veil. - The two most interesting and impor- tant points are that the Turkish woman wears no corsets and no stockings. She has nothing whatever in the place of corsets,butinstead of stockings knitted woolen socks. Often these are open— worked very skillfully, and have a mix- ture of silk threads. Some are elab- orately embroidered in colors and in gold. * The very first garment the woman of the orient puts on is a; long—sleeved chemise of Broussa crepe gauze. This is made exactly like the seamless holy coat of Treves, and its neck is cut out and hemmed in a close roll. ' The trousers are made most often of chiiitz or cretonne, and are vivid and startling in color. They are put on immediately after the chemise, and are about four inches longer than the leg. They are fastened by a drawing-string at the waist, tied in front. and they hang down over the ankles. The entarri. a garment taking the place of the trained skirts of the west, comes next. It is of cotton. wool, silk or satin, perhaps of rich brocade. per- haps of a brilliant tint. but of whatever material it may be. made it is bright and gay. It consists offour breadths. Next in order come the sash and the jacket, the latter being worn only in warm weather. Itis shaped like what-we call an Eton jacket, and buttoned to the waist line with small jewels or gold buttons. The sleeves are sometimes elbow sleeves, always loose and often left flowing below the elbow. The curious thing about this jacket is that while it is well fitted in the back, all the portion that. should cover the breast is cut away, leaving the entire bust- ex- posed. , While the other portions of the cos- tume worn by Turkish women are won- derfully picturesque, the most pride of all is taken in this jacket. Velvet. silk or satin are the materials used for it. The wives of the richest Moham- medans have it embroidered with seed pearls, turquoise or coral, and always with gold and silver threads. Exceedingly important, too, really the most important article in this at- tire, is the yaslimak, or Turkish veil. The Turkish woman wears no hat, but she nevertheless is not debarred from the usual feminine prerogative, for it is invariably in order for her to query whether her yashmak is on straight. In fact, a woman shows whether she has style or not'by the way she wears this veil. It is a law of the prophet that Mohammedan women shall never be without it when outside of their homes; and this law is rigidly adhered to. One valuable use the veil has. It ctherealizes by its folds the entire face, a. very necessary thing when the feminine custom of painting the whole countenance is taken into considera- tion. Without her veil the Turkish woman looks rather ghastly when she is in full regalia. Her eyebrows are blackened with kohl, her lips are crim- soned. her cheeks are dyed carmine and the. rest of her face is whitened with arsenic paste or some similar com- pound—N. Y. Viloxrld. EXPLAIN THE FIGURES. Facts That Illustrate the Value in Gold of Quantities Frequently Mentioned. The total amount of the bids re- ceived at the United States treasury for the. last government bond issue was $568,000,000. This amount of money would make a block 10 feet square by 14 1-3 feet high. The total imports of the United States for 195 were valued at $731,969,- 965, which would make a gold block 10 feet square by 18%, feet high. The total exports of the United States for 1895 were valued at $793,- 392,599, which would make a block of gold 10 feet square by 19 2-3 feet high. The production of wheat in the United States for 1894 was 460,267,416 bushels, the value of which, at 60 cents per bushel, would make a gold block 10 feet square by 7 feet high. The assessed valuation of all the tax— able property in Chicago, real and per- sonal. for 1895 was $244,476,825, which would make a gold block 10 feet square by 6 feet high. The assessed valuation in 1890 of all property, real and personal, in Mon- tana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah and Nevada was, in round numbers,‘ $568,000,000, the amount of the bond bid. The amount of the bond bid, coined into $20 pieces, would make a pile of gold containing, approximately, 1,500 cubic feet. The amount of cash on deposit in the country’s savings banks alone, in 1895, was $1,810,597,023, or a fraction over three times the amount of the bond bid—N. Y. Mail and Ex- press. ' - Modern Englishwoman. An Englishwoman, by name Mrs. Dygrove, made a flying visit to Wash- ington last week. She appeared at the patent office clad in an improved gar- ment, comprising bifurcations and skirts. Just what it- was technically called isn’t told yet. Mrs. Bygrove had made a. number of. improvements, on which her attorneys here filed ap- plications for patents. Mrs. Bygrove gave an exhibition to the authorities of the working of the patent bifurca- tions, then announced that her busi- ness was done, and she would return to England on the following day. It then came out that she had only ar- rived from England a day before, and had come over here simply to patent her dress reform improvements and , rush back. There's a sample of the modern woman—Chicago News. Ii EEPS ADDING TO IT. The List of Cures Will Soon, Wipe Out the List of Sufferers in Norwalk. _First- one, then two, then four, then eight.
