In some eastern countries childrens
hair is not cut until they are ten or
twelve years of age, the girls then be-
ing considered manageable. Up to
that time it is coiled on the top OF the
head and adorned with fresh flowers.
When the great day for cutting comes.
there is a grand ceremony and much
feasting.
One who was present at royal hair
cutting tells us that the favOrite OF the
harem was robed in long, flowing gar
ments of silk and lace. confined at the
waist by a golden girdle. Her long
hair, coiled for the last time. was
fastened with diamond pins. which
cleaned and ylittered among fresh
white flowers and green leaves like
pearly drops of morning dew. There,
in the presence of the ladies, her father
and an officiating priest, surrounded BY
her maidens, some two hundred in num-
