How Women Dress TN Persia.

A few women We're seen. We met one
sitting astrile on horseback. as all east
ern women ride. We believe them to be
women because of their costume and sIZ'';
but we see no part of them. not even Il
hand or an eve. They are shrouded
from the head to the knees in a cpttoil
or silk sheet of dark blue or black-the
chulder. it is called. which passes over
the head and is held with the hands
around and about the body. Over the
chudtler is tied around the head Il yard
long veil of white cotton or linen, in
which before the eyes is a piece Of open
work about the size of Il finger. which is
their only lookout or ventilator. The
veil passes into the chudder at the chin.
Every women before going out of door
puts on pair of trousers, generally o.
the same stuff and color of the chu'lder,
and thus outdoor seclusion and disguise
are complete. Her husband could n't
recognize her i'm the street. In this cos
tune MOhammedam women grOpe their
way about the towns of Persia. Their
trousers are tightly bound about their
ankles above their cOlOred stockings,
which are invariably of home manufac-
ture AMI slippers, with no covering for
the heel. complete the unsiShtly. un-
wholesome apparel of these uncomfort-

Persian women of the higher classes APP
pears indelicate to Europeans. The
chudder and trousers are an variable

Persian lady is more like that of a ballet
girl. In the anderoons Of Persian royal

Russian wives.

A story has been going the rounds Of
the French papers illustrating the status
of married women in Russia. The simple
woman i'm this case seems to have imag-
ined that She might get from Russian
Magistrate some sort OfprOtectiOn agaits
husband whose tayorite pastime it was
to cruelty torture her. She had been
yOked by her playful husband to t. e
shafts OF his cart, and driven along for
sixteen yersts. IN double harness with
the horse, under the furious blows of Il
heavy whip. Having survived this or
deal, she was brought home again, her
head was shaved, and, after she had been
smeared all over with tar, she was rolled
i'm feathers, and then turned ont of the
house. In this plight she resorted to the
person whom she fOndly imagined to be
the most benevolent, or at any rate the
least savage. i'm the village. She went TO
the priest, but, instead OF obtaining amy
shelter or relief, was rudely struck by the
piOus tnan, who called the husband and
advised him to administer fresh caStiga-
ton. 1t would have been well for the
woman if SIZE had taken the broad hint
afforded her by this reception ut the
priests residence, and had returned home
to suffer in silence the torment TO which
she was fated. But she WAS ignorant of
Russian law. and she could not persuade
herself that she was utterly wi h 'uG rem
edy in such a case rs this. So she went
to law, and brought before the court
both the husband and priest. Here the
Procurateur General at once declined to
enter into any argument on the subject
of the husband, explaining that the
whole matter was one OF merely private
family interest. and that husband and
wife could always come TO an under
standing among themselves without the
of the law. The priest
case was little more difficult. But the
worthy man represented that the facts OF
this sort occur often and inevitably
among the lower orders in Russia.
the court without further
discussion acquitted both the accused
persons.
