Ex-suItan Is a Prisoner.

Few people realize that for nearly
thirty years an ex-sultan of Turkey
has been kept a prisoner at Kourbad-
il, on the BosporUs. This unfortun.
ate man is the ex-Sultan Murad, the
eldest nephew of Abdul Azlz, who
came to the throne in 1876 on his
uncle's death, but was allowed to
reign only three months. He was in
weak health at the time and there was
a strong party in Constantinople
which was DESTROYS that his brother,
the present Sultan Abdul Hamid,
should be caliph. An intrigue was
therefore set on foot to declare that
Murad was insane and he was quiet

in his place. The ex-sultan, who is now
81 years of age, has become seriously

Your Choice In colors.

That there are peculiar laws gov
erning the wearing of different colors
is a fact which Is not known to every
one, and certain shades that may be
worn with impunity below the chin
are quite impossible" in the hair or
on hat.
Take, for instance, the different
shades of violet and pink. Pink is a
very dlficult color to wear around
the neck, but a rose in the hair or a
pink hat or parasol often will throw
charming reflections upon the coun-
tenance. Violet below the face will
frequently bring out all the sallo|V
tints in the complexion, when the
same shade in a hat may be very be-
coming. While pink will seem entire
ly out of place against white hair, pale
blue or heliotrope will make a pretty
contrast.
The girl who can wear red at all
will find her looks far more enhanced
by a crimson cloak or costume than
by a scarlet hat.
AS a rule white is just a trifle more
attractive beneath the chin than above
it.
