The inhabitants of Smyrna being COM
posed as have before stated, of individu.
ais from almost every part of the known
world, present, from their various costumes,
a variety, extremely pleasing to the stran-
ger.
The Turks Of the first class appear in
long robes trimmed with furs, richly en-
broidered vests, large trowsers drawn "a
round the ANGLE, exposing part of their yell
low morocco boots and slippers, with cine.
lures around their waists-.but the turban
which is in general use among them, varies
in appearance with the different sects adj
herring 10 the Mahometan religion-fe-
quently among the lower class, it is COM
posed of green muslin, while Agas of i'm.
mense fortunes, not being able to trace their
des emf from the Prophet, dare not appes r
with that sacred badge.
The A,meniaHs and Grecians are permit.
ted to wear robes, but they are plain-lhe
former use the turban, and the latter the
culpak, but both are obliged to divest their
heads and faces OF all hair except their
moustoches, The Turks reserving the exciu-
sive privilege of wearing the beard
With very few exceptions, it is only in
the streets, or while travelling in the coun-
try, that Christian beholds the Turkish
women, where they appear with their
slaves, SO completely enyeloped in white
cotton, that It's difficult TO ascertain one of
sixteen from another OF sixty-their faces
are concealed by masks, the lower part
reaching their mouths, composed OF the
folds OF their dress, and the upper Of black
silk covering the residue! The custom a.
mong The Armenian women is similar, ex-
ceptiug that their inner robes are sometimes
OF light blue. They will, however, when
conscious OF their beauty, frequently ex-
pose their faces to the passing Frank. but
never, when any probability exists Of a
Turks participating in the sight.
The Grecian women are in general
handsome, ana some are beautiful, parlicu-
larly those OF the Islands where their yir-
tues are as predominant as the vices of the
men. They dress similar TO the European
women resident in Smyrna, except in a
Proiuslon OF tinsel and embroidery, which
they DISPLAY on particular occations-but
in dressing the head they exceed all others.
Their beautiful dark hair is parted on the
centre Of the forehead; around their tenn
piles, they wind piece Of plain or embroid-
cred Grape, surmounted y a white cloth
cap fitting close, having black silk tasseI
in the middle. Their long hair being
braided, is then passed around the Grape,
