A certain Turk, according to rumoP.
was once married to a yelled lady In
white in the presence Of the sultan. as
soon as the ceremony was concluded
the bride mysteriously disappeared.
The groom was led into an adjoining
room. where stood twelve ladies all
dressed In white, but without wells.

the sovereign, "her that Is your bride"
AS the man had never seen her face the
command bewildered him. "If you
make mistake" added his majesty,
your life shall pay the forfeit" The
poor man walked up and down the row
Of beauties, but saw nothing whatever
to aid his choice. "You have only a
minute left" yelled the sultan in anger;
choose at once" Ten OF the ladies', be
noticed, gave him nothing else than q
stony stare. One Of them frowned, the
other smiled. "The frowning one" he

full. He had regained his bride. Which
was she, the one who frowned or the
