The Meeting of Congress

The second session of the Fifty-hrst
Congress begins next Monday. 1t ends
on the fourth day of March, 1891. So
there are little more than twelve weeks
in which to pass the necessary appropria
ton bill, and the other measures that cal!
for immediate attention, From this period
must be deducted, however, the holiday
recess, which generally consumes about
ten days. Ten weeks, therefore ale about all
hat can be counted on for business
There are pending now before one or the
other house the election bill, the shipping
bill and the national bankrupt bill. These
measures are all of great importance, and
the passages of the first two will certainly
meet with yiROrons resistance.

contrastcd with their dusky complex

quite at her case with the Sultan, and
such conduct was to them simply in.
COMPREHENSIVE There was no prcce
dcnt for it in all Turkey.
The Empress tells with delight of
her visit to the harem and her explo-
ration of the beautiful gardens in the
Sultan's grounds, which are justly
claimed to be the loveliest in all Eu-
rope. For week before she saw them
hundreds of servants were busy clean
ing the place and assisting the garden
ers in putting the grounds in condition.
Like everything else in Turkey, they
suffer terribly from neglect. Although
they are visited daily by the ladies of
the harem, the Sultan himself takes
very little interest in them, and the
menials are allowed to do about as
they please. All the streets leading
to the palace were cleaned so that the
royal guests might not carry away a

her ladies of honor, and the Sultan.
AS they entered the gates they found
the odalisqucs- beautiful young girls
from Circassia, Armenia. and the Cal-
casus, with a fair sprinkling of Greeks,
drawn ND in row on both sides of the
arched passage way, and all attired in
the most elaborate toilets.
Their dresses had been made OK
pressly for the occasion, and showed n
remarkable variety of styles, some of
them being of the latest Partisan order
and others compromise between the
robes of the Turkish lady of rank and
those of the Western EW opean. Such
sight in any capital in Europe except
Constantinople would have been an
impossibility. 1t was homogeneous in
the last degree, and the Empress, al
though she had come resolved to show
surprise at nothing, could not repress
smile. Some of the dresses, as she
learned afterward, cost as high as 5000
each.
The Sultanas received the Empress
in their palace, where q splendid re-
ception had been prepared for her.
She expressed surprise, no less at the
wonderful richness of their dresses
than at the priceless jewels of great
size and purity which they wore on
neck, arms and fingers. In the narem
as well as in the Sultanas' palace the
orthodox Ottoman garments are worn,
although when the ladies go out. which
they always do in carriages under es,
cort, more modern styles are affected.

"Few people know how to take good
care of the feet" said Miss Moffett, the
physician chiropodist of Detroit, as she
sat in low, cushioned chair and held a
lady's foot in her lap. "All feet are not
perfect by any means, but it is always
the bad fit Of shoe that produces
corns. bunions and other injuries which
a.Iiict the feet. ] do not believe that it
was ever intended that shoes should be
worn. The ancients believed this, for
they wore sandals"
"Whv should sandals be worn?"

breathe. The great toe, you see is on a
line with The arch of the foot, and
should stand out separate from the
others. The ball of the foot and the heel
serve as two pillars to balance the arch,
which is q bridge to the body. Every
step that we take that arch elongates
like the springs of a buggy. A high
hecled shoe throws the whole structure
out of balance because we cannot raise
one part without making false foun-
dation. We are taught reconsider the

they can only hobble."
"Have you many customers with nal.
proportional feet?"

their feet or they would not need my
services. A lady will come in and say

upholstered dlvan and chatted pleas
antly for an hour with the Sultanas,
while ebony skinned Nubian slaves
waited on them with refreshments.
She had O glimpse, too, of some of the
amuscments of the harem, and the
sweetest singers sang and the finest
musicians played for her qualification.
Like others who have been privileged
with a glimpse of the inner life of the
seraglio, she noted the indolent luxury
of the women, their love of friends and
their passion for knowledge concerning
the outer world.
She received the impression that
majority of the women were compare
lively happy and contcnted with their
surroundings, ambition and the quail
ties that belong to higher intelligence
being found among the Sultanas only.
Some of the latter, she discovered, were
in no wise behind European ladies in
education and feminine accomplish
monts.
One afternoon, shortly before his
departure for home, the Emperor WIS.,
tied the famous mosque of the dancing
dervishcs and occupied box at one Of
their great religious ceremonies. A
band of Oriental musicians rendered
sacred music that sounded Earring and
barbarous to his ears; long itanies
were chanted by single dervishes and
the responses made by choir of young
GeryiShcS.
