PERSIAN LADIES.


The bath il the greatest luxury
we might just as well say necessity
Of life-of the Persian women. They
spend great part Of their. leisure
time there; indeed. the Eastern ladies
regard the use Of the bath almost III
the light Of religious duty The
bathroom in Persia is tae temple, the
news-room, the drawing-room, the
concert-room, the smoking room all
in one.
The women make appointments to
meet there and they tattle and gossip
away their sweet hours there, sosne-
times spending eight hours at a time
in the earpeted saloon attached to it
where. in tie bath. they tell stories.
relate anecdotes, eat sWeet-mcats,
smoke the narghileh (or pipe), and
embcllish their beautiful forms with
all the fancIed projections Of the East
-dyeing their hair and eyebrows,
and curiously staining their fair bod
les with variety Of fantastic devices,
not unfrequently with the figures Of
trees, birds and beasts. sun, moon aud
stars.
File day on which the ceremony Of
the bath rises into high, religious ex-
ercise. according to the, Persian we
men, is "the last Friday Of the blessed
month of Ramazan;n when, according
to their special etiquette, they ought
to dress superbly, and perfume them
selves and put on their best orha
ments, and go to the porticoes Of the.
mosques" There they s'sit down and
stretch out their feet, and every one
must light twelve tapers, and, in do
ing this, care must be taken to lift the
hand high above the lead, so as TO
raise up the veil, as if by accident,
and thus display their beautiful faces 7
All the twelve tapcrs must be lighted
by each maiden, and where one Of the
tapers is left unlighted, it is regarded
as an unlucky omen. Farther, ii is
not at all necessary that, in lighting
the tapsrs, silence should be observed.
On the contrary. lovely women should
always let their sweet voices be heard.
Such is the law Of the Persian sages

| found great improvement
in the building of houses, fences

of lands in cultivation, on the
entire route from BRENNAN to
this place. Our travel on the
train yesterday was very disa-
grceable and dusty, until we
had nearly reached Mckinney,
when a fine rain greeted us and
ordered the dust to lay still, and
it did. The trip was a very pleas
ant one in spite of all this, ow-
ing to the kindness of the con-
ductor, news-boy and porter,
with pleasant and familiar faces
of the doctors, and those of the
milder and better sex-in all
just enough to make the trip
pleasant in spite of the dust.
The train makes much better
time on the main line than it
does on the Austin branch, and
only stops long enough to say
howdy and goodbye. and it is
off again. Not a word of COM
plant was uttered by any one
on the entire route, except at
the Dallas supper which was six
bits-two-bits too much.
The citizens here were bless
ed with a fine rain last night
which was much needed, being
the first for two months. Corn
