How n Little Eastern Princess Was

In some eastern countries children'A
hair is not cut until they are 10 or y

head and adorned with fresh flowers.
When the great day for cutting
comes, there is a grand ceremony and
much feasting
One who was present at royal haif
cutting tells us that the favorite of the
harem was robed in long. flowing gar
ments Of silk and lace, confined at the
waist by a golden girdle. Her long
hair. coiled for the last time, was
fastened with diamond pins which
cleaned and glittered among fresh
white flowers and green leaves like
pearly drops OF morning dew.
There. in the presence Of the ladies,
her father and an officiating priest,
surrounded by her maidens, some two
hundred in number, she knelt under q
canopy OF flowers and leaves while
prayers were chanted-
Then, the beautiful tresses being
unbound. her royal father, dipping his
fingers in rose water, and drawing
them carelessly over her head, clipped
of about an eighth of an inch Of hail
and threw it into a golden basin, de
posting al the same time, on a great
salver placed ready TO receive them
