FASHIONABLE soD1cEs.

Many of the a,hlonable bodces OF
the season for day wear represent
very short tingle-breasted bolero OF
other fancy jacket. or double
breasted shape which reaches no lower
than the bust. A very deep ceinture
comes up to meet the jacket, and this
gives the effect OF shorter aud thicker
waist than has been popular for many
years, and young women and girls
seem without that wl'owy grace with
which poetic sentiment always invests
tall and slender maidens.

Of course, if a man wants to pawn any

The Herculean Turkish Porter Whose
Place OF Business Is on the Street.
The Turkish porter is one of the most
interesting objects seen in a tour of
the orient. OF Herculean strength and
power of endurance, he is usually
prompt and obliging, also honest so far
as in him lies. He cannot speak the
truth, and would not respect himself
if he could, for that is a virtue of the
Frank
His place of business, says the Chica-
go Times-Herald, is on the streets of his
native town, where he can be found at
all hours of the day, clad in loose
soiled jacket, usually gray, with gray
CATERS, Turkish shoes or sandals, the
inevitable fez and neckerchief that
makes him look as if he were strang-
ling.
All the burden of conveying large or
small articles falls upon him and he
will for gratuity carry piano as cas-
lily as n trunk. lie is the most con-
tented of the working fraternity one
neets abroad, whether he is found in
the streets of Constantinople or in those
of Stamboul, and the tourists make
nuSh of him because he is interesting,
his occasional smoke under the shade
of a mulberry tree, or his lazy sips of
sherbet, being treats that renew his
strCIgth for the hard work by which
he must livc--if he is not able to sell
merchandise. Being sturdy ard indus
trious, the traits OF the Turkish porter
commend him to the public, hence a
picturesque description of him by one
traveller who named him the Quaker
