SHEKYER BAlRAM


Shekyer Bairam. or the Feast OF Sugar,
has recently closed I'm Constantinople.
This is one of the most picturesque and
animated events of the year 20 the inhab-
fants OF the ancient city, and, like our
Easter seems to>call forth a gorgeous
pageant OF new and fashionable apparel.
says the Philadelphia Times. ~,
Indeed new clothes for men and wo-
men. high or low. are de rigueur. Some
thing new must be worn. In the richer
houses all the slaves are provided with
a new gown or wrap. The wealthy women
and those who attend the Official Bairam
receptions of some OF the Sultanas at the
palace are arrayed In the most costly and
wonderful attire.
II saw a noted beauty, the wife of a
celebrated Pasha. go to a reception in "A
superb empire gown. which. wonderful to
state, suited her perfectly" writes cor
respondent from the Turkish capital.
'The dress was of soft white satin with
a long train. and entrusted with pearl
and silver decorations. The shapely
white armies showed much to their and
vantage from under the long Greek chif-
fon sleeves. and her beautiful ebony
colored hair fell In natural waves over
her temples and ears and was gathered
in knot al the back OF her head. Surely
this picture compares strangely with the
Turkish woman OF half century ago. in
her shalvers and tunic. reclining on a
couch and smoking tchibouk. But times
and manners change even in Turkey. II
is only fair TO state that this dress is, of
course, a great novelty even among the
fashionable set and created quite a sensa-
ton.
why the feast Is termed Shekyer Bair-
am Is not quite clear. Perhaps IL is be-
cause everyone exchanges presents OF
sweeties (shekier-sugar) packed In dain-
" little round baskets some big. some
small, but always elaborately adorned
and covered with thick colored gauze
and colored ribbons. Al all corners OF the
street vendors OF sweeties stand filling
baskets, which, are rapidly sold. The
rich send 20 the poor, the poor 10 the rich,
according 10 their means.
''The greeting 'Sezin Bainam Moobarek'
(May your feast be OF good augury) Is on
every lip. and after having tarried for a
few moments leave Is taken to go through
the same performance in several other
houses. IL seems To be a sort of Christ
mas New Year and Easter all rolled In
one. and is altogether a cheerful time.
Naturally. after a long and continuous
fast and various rigid observances during
the Holy Month. the Turks relax i'm these
three great feast dSye. The populaco
LOOKS bright and happy and care and toll
are put aside. The fathers promenade
with their little daughters dressed In the
brightest colors imaginable. say grass
green. or orange or red. and always IN
silk or Tin. little shoes OF the same hue
and material. and on their heads a
wreath Of artificial flowers or a silver and
golden crown: and the mothers with their
sons, who generally have a prediction
for martial attire. aud represent diminu-
tive Turkish soldiers FUN equipped with
epaulettes swords. etc Toward evening
of the third day the guns announced
Bairam's departure. after which every
thing and everybody assumed its pre-.

ise of great things, and possibly may
do something I'm the broad jump. In the
hurdles Yale will have Capt. Fincke, j.
X. Thomas, Jr.. and a freshman named
Ciapp, who Mike Murphy believes will
make a star. In the 220-yard dash and
the querter-mle run Dixon Boardman
will be Yale's best man.
In the long-distance runs there are two
very good men. Waldron and Weston. In
the middle distance runs there are
number OF new men who have done re-
markably good work I'm the indoor games
this winter. Franchot, freshman. has
shown up very well.
IL is believed that the combination Of
the Yale and Harvard teams should be
much stronger next June than II was
