 to don certain articles of my attire.
 "An of us, !" she said, "have the

 our dress and customs, but although
 such a privilege as that will never

 wish to sec how I should look in

 alized what difficulties were pend.
 ing. She was not happy until per
 mitted her to begin from tho very
 beginning of nethermost garments and had to work gradually upward. The stays she several times impress cd upon me must on no account be omitted, but hero a difficulty at once presented itself. for they would not meet within 10 or 12 inches. She was determined, however, not to be mastered, and it was not until the laoes had been cut and heightened and recut and tried on and taken of numberless times that she succeeded with last tremendous struggle in fastening them around her.
 Hoping that at last the efforts of attempting to put Persian princess into European clothes wero we'll nigh ended, for every fresh crack acted somewhat as a shock to my nervons system, remarked, Now that the toilet Is drawing to compile ton does the princess find herself to her hking?"
 What is it you mean?" she ex- claimed. Why, the principal part is not yet begun. You do not wear your hair like this, " said she as she drew up in her hand n bunch of some 90 or moro narrow plaits that reached below her knees. At the request of Q princess these tresses had of course to be all unplaited and oombed out and twisted in masses of dusly coils around her small and shapely head that was we'll set upon her shoulders Her hair was as thick, as coarse and as unmanagea- blo as n horse $ tail would be to dress. and as wiry also. and when it was at last, with great deal of trouble, pinned up securely 1t covered the entire head threo times over. This 1 finishing stroke to her toilet gave l the princess intense satisfaction, and 1 she was full of childish admiration 1 for herself.
 That is very good, very good, she remarked as she twisted herself, | smiling, now this way, now that before the mirror. Every one would take me to Do English. Now | give me your hat with the long black | feathers. and then I will walk down the garden to my brothers house and sec if he will know me"
 She left the room in a state of co. stasy over herself, but to return in an instant, with her fingers spread out before exclaiming, "Khanum, khanum (lady). when you go out do you not always wear glovesg"
 For the princess to have walked even a short distance without any kind of escort and with her face un- yelled showed that enterprise was not lacking in her character, for she had never taken such a bold step in her life before and she was but IS. The costume that she had adopted, however, gave her confidence, for she knew she would not be recog- nized.
 In spite of her admiration for her. self in this costume she was in truth by no means altered for the better. In her own comparatively rough and tasteless dress she looked delicate and refined as compared with her eastern sisters, but immediately she a moro civilized attire her great charm vanished, and her for mer attractions seemed coarse and unprepossessing.
 It was not long before the poor princess returned dejected and un- happy, with tears standing in her large brown eyes Her brother, she told me, did not for some moments recognize her, but fancied her to be some European lady coming to mako D visit to his wife. When he saw it was me, his sister, she remarked, ''his countenance became black as the thunderclouds, and he bade me with all haste change my dress, for he was filled with shame at seeing that a daughter of his fathers wife could so greatly bemean herself as 10 attempt to initiate European.
