PRETTY TURKISH WEDDING.

All the Same Amusement Made for the
Bride Was Startling.
A San Francisco girl, writing from
Cairo, gives this interesting account of
Turkish wedding she attended In a
Turkish home, which gave her rare
chance to study the women and Gus
toms OF the orientals, according to the
Argonaut: THE groom was Turk
and a governor of one of the homes
OF Egypt, the bride distant relative
Of the khedive. We left our hotel at
$3.50 p. m, each armed with a bouquet
the proper thing we are told-which
we presented to the bride. The brides
home was on small street, entirely
canopied over for the occasion with
oriental embroideries and festooned
with green and red glass lanterns. The
street thus enclosed formed a long
room. Clean sand covered the ground,
and the musicians European and an
Egyptian band-were placed in this
improvised hall mot bad idea to
adopt for our teas). The street run
ming at right angles to this street was
also brilliantly illuminated and fes-
TONED with flags. Musicians with
tam-tams, placed there, welcomed the
guests as they drove up. The groom
received the gentlemen on the ground
floor of the house-the ladies were
ushered upstairs. On the stairs,
eunuchs gave notice of our arrival by
clapping of hands. Another lot OF
musicians at the head of the stairs
commenced such a clatter on their
tam-tams and gave such vigorous
cries. OF welcome that we were nearly
deafened. The brides mother met us
and was most gracious. giving us the
best seats in the room. The room soon
became crowded with women and
young girls, some of them exceedingly
pretty, but most of them too fat
