CHITRAL AND ITS PEOPLE.
The Latter Can Fight Well Enough,
but Prefer Peace.

Pittsburg Dispatch: Chitral, concern
ing which Englishmen are Just now
greatly interested, is a tributary of the
manarajah of Kashmir. himself one of the
feudatory princes of India. 1t is the most
important state on the uttermost line of
the Indian frontier, and commands the
chief practicable road from the Pamirs
southwark. Hence the Importance of es-
taklishing in it a strong government, on
whose allegiance the Indian viceroy nay
always rely.
The country is mountainous, and is
composed partly of gigantic snow peaks
and barren rocky mountains, and, in a
very small degree, of cultivated land. The
valleys are narrow and confined, the main
ones in their inhabited portions running
from 5000 to 5000 feet above the level
of the sea. 1t is only in them that any
cultivation is at all found, and even there
il is not carried On very extensively. But
what there is is generally good, and Chit
raj is a country noted for it's fruit.
The climate varies, of course, according
to the height of the valley. In the lower
parts, at about 5000 feet above the sea
level, it ranges from II to 10 deg. in win
ter to 100 deg. in summer, IN higher up,
at 5000 feet, it ranges from about 5 deg.
below zero in winter to about 80 deg.
above in summer. But in some places,
like Gugis, one of the fortified forts,
where trees are very scarce, even at 1000
feet the heat is often very great In sum
mer. The population Of Chitral Is proba-
bly, about 10000 or $1,000.
The people are all Mohammedans, but
not of a very strict or fanatical type. In
the lower part of the Chitral valley,
where they touch on the Pathans, who
are noted for their fanaticism, they have
become to a certain extent tainted by it;
but in the upper valleys the people are
very quiet, and, according to Capt. Young
husband. the mass of them do not trouble
themselves very much about religious OBJ
~servances. On the whole they are stated
TO be n peaceable race. who can fight well
enough when reused TO action, but who
really prefer to keep quiet and be left
alone to enjoy life In peace.

very elaborate outfit of dresses, but
the purpose of each n is distinct,
and others that might be added to the

duplicates of some of these.
Consideration is due, first OF all, to
the bridal dress. In this country we

French fashion of displaying the neck

give dignity and becomingness. The
ends float down yer the train.
If the travelling dress be not the
next thing in Importance to the we'd
ding rig, ii is the next item OF the
trousseau needed, and the next one
pictured here. AS 1t indicates, the pa
tient bride has revolted against the
simple gray gown that is such a give
a-away, and her travelling dress is
planned along new lines.
Quite the most complete choice of
goods is a big soft English tweed
plaid. The skirt is made with all lines
matched diagonally and not a seam
to be traced except with a microscope.
A plaid OF green tobacco brown, dark
blue and a lighting up of cream is
the best choice. The bodice shown
here has a little sleeveless jacket of
leather-colored broadclot.4, seemingly
worn over a plaid under bodice, but
really all in one, for no ordinary jacket
could ever get over those sleeves. A
little folded silk collar of green to
match the green in the plaid, a hat of
green straw, trimmed with a wreath
of bright roses and outstanding loops
of blue ribbon complete the costume,
with the necessary red leather gloves.
The whole gown Is lined with silk TO
match the brightest color in the plaid.
Frequently a mere trace OF scarlet in
a single line is seized upon and made
excuse for the brilliant lining that
gives the final touch of swaggerdom
to the whole rig.
