A woman whoss hons for several years
years was in Zanzibar, where. as wife OF a
United States consul, she snjoyed special
privileges, says the New York Times, told
at q luncheon ths other day OF her visit to
the chief sultana of the late sultans house
hold. His family included LAD sultanas,
with one, full-blooded Arab, leading all
the others and invested with special privi-
leges. To her the consuls wife was per-
mitted to pay visit, being the second white
woman in many years, if not in all time, to
do so.

the incident, "a little nervous about pen-
etrsting this closely guarded palace, even on
invitation, and begged the sultan, who was
always on friendly terms with my husband
to permit the wife OF the German consul to
be- my companion. This request was
grsclously granted, and with full evening
dress and decked with all the jewels we
owned we paid the visit | wore beautiful

was almost overwhelmed with its, 10 me-
sickening fragrance.
THE sultana was seated In the middle OF
an almost interminabe row of children,
which thanked her on each side. These
were not hers, but the sultan's by other
wives, she being childess. AS he is very
proud of his children they were thus dis
played, and it spoke well for the good dis
position of the chief fsvorite that she was
willing to show these jewels of her rivals
She sat in a large. rather bare room, with
many windows on every side. In every
window was at least one head, in some
more, which belonged TO the other sultanas,
who thus assisted at the interview. This
array of repulsive savage countenances,
though intended TO be friendly, made me-
doubly glad that l had not gone alone.

Some girls slide their hands into yours in
q slow, confdiug way, says Clara Belle in
the New Orleans IimeS~DemocrGt. That is
the girl man likes at once. Sons girls lot
their hand lie in yours and then slip out
when you let go. That is the sort OF girl
man is apt to puzzle about sooner or later,
and make fool of himself over. Some
girls grab a mans hand, and grip 1t in a
gentlemsnly way. That is the sort of girl
a man is scared Of at once, because he
knows like as not. il she puts her mind to it
she will marry him. Some girls give you
their hand in no particular way, and yet
you feel as if you, all OF a sudden, had a
kind of understanding OF them. They are
apt TO look up suddenly, as IL you had
spoken; and when that happens to a man he
had better get to counting at once, because
he has found the right girl.

~ think Mr.. A. is so clever and orlgi-

Tribune man, who was dining with her the
other day. "Do not your swell, he is a
good fellow enough, but l should hardly
call him that" was the answer. "But he
