It is not mooted question in Persia
whether women dress for the eyes of
men or those of women. as there only
women see women. at parties In her
book, Through Persia on a Sidesad-
die, " Miss Sykes writing of the women
of Teheran, the capital of Persia, con-
fesses that even Mohammedan isolation
does not prevent women from being
envious of other women, if they are
dressed better than themselves. She
writes:
Twas told that many of the fine ladies
would give large sums in the European
shops of Teberan for any brocade of silk
which struck their fancy and would
wear it at the next party to which they
invited their friends. Haunting the new
toilet ostentatiously before them to fire
their jealousy.
Usually, however, one of the guests
would pay her hostess out by buying
some more of the same material and
having it made up for one of her slave
women. She then would invite large
company to tea, and the cups would be
handed round by a negress adorned in
the rich silks with which the former
hostess is arrayed.
Later ON the slave would dance before
the guests. The great lady. who had
been invited to be mortified would be
both disappointed and huniliated. The
lady who had given the party would be
pleased at vexing the rival

The desertion of Rev. J. S. Willis

in the papers OF Monday, was an anus

"seven days wonder" 1t will now be
in order for W. Michael Byrne and
Col. Dupont, who claim the credit of
defeating his candidacy for Congress
last fall, to warmly embrace him as
a brother.
The EUeTy EUening says there are
astonishing rumOrs in circulation that
refer to a conspiracy in which Demo
Gratis of prominence, in and out of the
Legislature, are said to be involved.
Some of the names thus whispered
about are sources of wonder and

1t was developed at the Farmers

ers could do better with the tomato
crop by saving their own seed. Mr..
Rosa and Mr.. Woodall said they
had done this successfully and had
much better and more prolific yields
than when foreign grown seed
were used. This could be done
easily and proftably. The best fruit
should be gathered from the first

contents should be squeezed into
