i THE kHEptvIa.

AWonian Who Was tho Sole wrre OF tho
Late Tew6k.
The foremost wife of the late khedive
OF Egypt, formally known as the
khedlvla, is worthy of considerable
notice, as being in advance both of her
race and her period, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. Her royal husband did
not by any means neglect his harem,
but more than any sovereign of his class
he elevated her above the common
throng. Up to 1887 she had never seen
man save the khedive, and the first
that she did see, save him, was pho
tographer. She was pretty, and she
wanted the world to know it. A little
later-in 1S89--an American lady, who
had some considerable reputation as an
artist, was employed to paint her por-
trait 1t is from this picture that current
representations of her face mostly come.
She mace and insisted upon some start
ling departures from the habits of her
race, and yet they did not go so very
far. She never received" with her
royal husband. When he gave q ball
she could only look through the lat
tlce. But she gave audience constantly
to women, talking French only and
exhibiting both charming manners and
q bright mind. In 1889 she was de-
scribed by one who saw her as thirty
one years old and complaining that she
was getting fat and very old''-''a
pomegranate face, still lovely enough
In slightly heavy way, with liquid
brown eyes, pretty, pouting mouth
and a dimple in the chin-unmis-
tal1abfy, however, a double chin"
'One sometimes met her with the whole
harem driving in close carriages out to
the desert. To contemplate the rnonu-
mental pyramids and to guess at the
riddle Of the sphinx2 Dear, mol To
sit and eat bonbons, each out of her
embroidered bag" The portrait can be
seen in Cairo-''a rich, warm color

face that not infrequently suggests
the houri of the Koran, and q hand
which, though delicately formed, seems
more that of baby than an empress"
