gowns, serving for travelling and general wear.
A jacket of plain blue black or brown cloth,
with plaid or checked skirt is extremely
stylish and useful.
Fer an extra jacket to wear with any skirt
plain cloths preferred; and tans, brown
and black are most useful, harmonizing with
other colors more generally.
The skirt is appropriate for making entire
suits, or for separate skirts 1t is cut with q
circular front and three godet folds in the
back.
The skirt pattern is a very fine model for
separate skirts OF satin or crepon to wear with
extra waists. 1t is also good shape for silks
or other goods to wear with any waist.

TURKISH WOMEN,

No one who visits Turkey can know
anything OF the real life ot the people
unless he has seen some of the harems,
for it is a mistake to imagine that be-
cause they are invisible to tho outer
world the Turkish women have no in
tuence. On the contrary, unable to
spend their time in going about and in
visiting or receiving general visitors,
they have all the more leisure for IN
trigue and scheming, and it must be
remembered that all marriages are ar
ranged exclusively by the female rela.
tives on both sides.
Though the present Sultnn's own
wives and slaves are said to be mere
frivolous dolls, spending their energies
on dress and eating sweetmeats, many
of the Pasha's wives are women OF keen
intelligence, able to manage their
husbands properties, and it is well
known that the va,ideh sultans or
mothers OF the Sultans, have often
exercised immense influence IN State
affairs. The young girls now in Turkey
are oil being educated, the Sultan
having established excellent schools,
where the girls go till the age of twelve
or so, when they "put on the yash
max" and disappear. Up to that age
they may be seen sitting with their
fathers in the public gardens of al
afternoon, and going to and from
school of morning, attended. if o.
the higher classes, by the usual hid
eous black attendant. -Longman's

once said that ii the United States
had not a single warship ahoat it still
