 In the Land O. Raisull. From The Pilgrim.
 When not fixed up for visitors the Moor ish woman is always en dishabille. loung- ing about all day in a loose cotton or muslin nightgown. rose or yellow being her favorite shades, her bare feet thrust into slippers very much down at the heel and flower stuck in her wisp of ancomb- ed hair. which from a continual use of henna dye is apt to break out in patcht s of yellow, green or gray. Hair brushes are unknown, a very coarse comb alone being used which may account for the fact that the hair Is never glossy or well kept She has a devouring passion for paints, powders and perfumes, altar of roses and sandal wood being in equal de- mand.
 Like Lalla Roolxh's odalisque she fuses the kohols jetty dye to give the long, dark languish to the eye"
 Besides using henna on the hair, which gives an auburn or red tint when first ap- piled, it Is also used on the soles of the feet and toes. the palms of the hands. the fingers ends and the calves of the legs. When she takes her walks abroad she Is completely enveloped in the ''haik'' or the "schele" the former an adaptation of the "bournous' worn by the men, the latter a shawl or cloak in one. something after the style of the Spanish mantilla. The Jewish women who have quarter of their own, and seldom go into the city. cover their heads with white casemere shawls, pulling the fringe across the face. Strings and buttons are unknown to wo- men of all classes and stockings are never darned but used until they fall In pieces.
 Mems garments are all made in public shops. where they are both cut aI.d sewed by men. The trousers consists of long piece of cloth folded, with the ends sew ed together, as well as one side, with the exception of two holes left for the intro- duction of the legs. The style and cut of the jacket depends upon the rank, call ing or nationality of the wearer.
