A DAZZLING sULrANA IN PARIS

The sultana of Masina, wife of King
Aguibou of the Soudan, is one of the
latest visitors to the Paris fair, and
Paris is very much ir terested in her.
She is always so closely yelled that 1t
is impossible for any one to catch even a
glimpse of her face. This a given rise
to widespread stories of her wondrous
beauty, which is said to eclipse the far
famed loneliness Of Cleopatra or the
queen of Sheba.
The %sultana's raiment is the most gor-
lgeous apparel Paris has seen in many
a long day, and it is only equaled by that
of King Aguibou. In fact, the entire
suite from Masina is wonderfully ar
aged.
THE king has gone about clad in a
magnificent sleeved mantle covered with
gold embroidery. yellow embroidered
boots. red velvet turban n a cavalry
saber attached to a belt of yellow silk
embroidered with a gold dragon. The
prince royal wears violet and an attend
ant prince orange -

| ton than the shah of Persia.-Paris Cor
