THE WEATHER yesterday, until late in
afternoon, was sultry, and the number of
persons on the streets was by no means
large. Between three md four o'clock
clouds began to appear in the west, and the
sound OF thunder seemed to presage heavy
rain storm. The clouds, however, took a
southeasterly course, and almost ignored
Alexandria, but little rain falling here.
The storm, though, was severe on the lower
river, and the Sunday excursionists got the
full benefit Of it, The temperature fell con-
siderably as night set in, and to day stiff
breeze from the northwest has prevailed.

Women Who Sleep in their
Clothes.

Lady Shiel, in her "Glimpses at life
and manners in Persia, says: ! went
to see the Shah's half-sister, a beauti-
full girl of fifteen, who lived with her
mother in an obscure part of the ante
room, neglected by the Shah, and con-
sequently by every one else. She was
reallylovely, ,fairand with indescribable
eyes and figure only equaled by some
oil the chefs d'nuvre of Italian art.
This is SO very rare among Persian
women, that she was one of the few
persons j saw in the country with an
approach to % good figure.
"She was dressed in the usual fash
ion of trousers on trousers, the last
pair being of such stiff brocade that
if put standing upright in the middle
of the room there they would remain.
Her hair was curled, not plated, and
she was literally covered with. dia-
monds. Shewas quiet in her manners,
and seemed detected. She was most
anxious to hear about European GUS
toms.
"And what seemed to surprise her
most was that we took the trouble
to undress every night going to bed
and she asked me was it true that we
put on a long white dress to pass the
night in.
Gail Persian women are astonished
at this custom, and are quite unable
to account for it. They never undress
at night; they unite their thin mattress
from its silkencover draw it out from
it's place against the wall, and roll
themselves up in the wadded quilt
which forms their blanket. The only
time they change their clothes is when
they 90 to battle. If they go out to
visit they of course put on their best
garments, and take them off at night;
but generally they lie down just as
they are, and even in cold weather
they wear their schadeor, or out-of-
door veil, at night"
