For the next few years Zaleikas ire
was A CAV one for Turkish lady. her
carriage was to be seen at every race
course and everything that was goins
on. She startled the old-fasnloneu
Cairones with her gay toilets, carrying
her love of European costoms to the e4-
tent OF donning French bonnet win
ninks and blues, which were her Iavorlte
colors. ,, al.
AS her carriage passed driving al.
ways at furious pace) hundreos VI
hats were raised to her-she bowling ana
smiling all the time, looking tuil Oh
mirth and life.
In the summer she lived in her palace
in Alexandria, where she lived as much
as possible like an European.
Her palace was quite exceptional IN
avery respect. 1t was not furnished
either in Eastern or Europeon style' LOT
she had culled from both the cholcesC
specimens. In one room she hao Inc
most exquisite collection OF ESyptla1
ANTIQUES possible to imagine, arrangeu
iu the most tasteful way.
Some rooms were fitted up entlrely III
Eastern-others in European s1yle-
every where were signs OF good taste' "S

Her bedroom was luxrious enough 10

dows and doors were draped with paie
mink satin, with white Fteltr dc us en-
broidered on it. Silver backed brusnes'
with initials and comets, on table Gov
cred with every appliance for the Coiie''
as dainty as its mistress.
The only things which could shock
the sense Of fitness were the white satih
sheets and pillow covers edged WIN SOU
lace.
On one occasion when the princess
was receiving in the afternoon, ana IL
was warm, the slave handed her case
of exquisite cambria handkerchleis, anu
during one visit she must have uSeu ten
of these, passing the handkerchief over
her face and then throwing 1t on the
ground for the slave TO pick up.
About this time she lost one OF ner
children Il think a boy and really
mourned the child long time.
Then came the downfall OF lsmall
Pasha, and, to certain extent, her hus-
band, although he retained his fortune.
Princess Zuleika was no fool-for she
was the only one Of the prfncesses con-
nected with the royal family VINO saved
her Jewels at that time. For 1small,
wishing to realize as much money as
possible before leaving the country,
sent an appeal to all his kinswomen,
asking them to lend him, for time,
their Jewels. They all complied except
Zuleika, who sent back word that she
must decline, as she remembered he had
played her that same trick before.
When Arabs revolution broke out
Zuleika fled to her place near Suez,
where she remained until all was quiet
again. She, as well as many other high
danes, were sympathizers with Arab
strange as it may seem-as they said,
he wanted to send away the foreigners
and have Egypt for the Egyptians.
While Princess Zuleika was in this
lonely palace near Suez she contracted
the habit of taking hyperdermics OF NOR
phia, and, as she never did anything by
halves, she took such quantities that 1t
became necessity to her daily life.
She is now only the shadow OF her
former beautiful self, so worn and
wasted has she become. She scarcely
ever leaves her palace-sleeps all day
and if her friends wish to see her she is
only lucid and visible at about in the
morning.
Her once lovely shoulders and back
are one mass of sores, with constant
pricking of the little jeweled machine.
She sees nobody but her own family,
pays no attention to her dress, and l
presume she has come to the conclusion
that "life is not worth living"-in a
harem. ELLIE NJ. DE LEON.
