Prince Ghika at once lodged a COM
plant with police commissary. An
inquiry showed that the articles had
not been taken away by professional
burglars Suspicion fell on a cham
bermaid who had left the service of
de Wagram was searched and 5000
worth OF the stolen articles was dis
covered. The rest, valued at $4,000
had taken a direction concerning
which the chambermaid furnished va
que explanations. The woman cooIly
declared that she had only removed
lot OF trash from the princes resi-
dence.
con was holding his court at the Tuil-
cries has the cameo been in such re-
pute as it Is at present, and IL its reign
is fated to be short, as is that of near
iy every fashion nowadays, it will,
nevertheless, be very brilliant one.
Canoes in hats. canoes on the new
gowns. canoes clasping the belt at
the waist, and canoes round the
wrists are the order of the day. and
old-fashioned mice-infested shops in
the dingiest quarters of Paris and
London are being ransacked for these
treasures by women who have not the
envied possession of a supply already.
The pink and creamy tints of the
cameo are wonderfully becoming, as
they make a delightful accompani-
ment to the evening gown in no mat
ter what color.
The most seductive hats OF today
are those which are trimmed with the
wonderful long stranded feathers
which must have nearly exhausted the
ostrich supply, SO numerous and so
largely used are they.
One of the prettiest schemes con-
sists of high, round. pierrot-crowned
hat of vanilla coloring, which is en-
tirely hidden by a single feather
whose every strand is either grey or
dull soft pink. and each of which
hangs perfectly straight. Another
handsome feather hat is of dead white
straw, surrounded with rich white
plume, and one high, outstanding
''pleureuse" also white but with the
tips tinged with different shades of
silver-grey, both ligth and dark.
A number of high born Turkish Ia
dies are at present visiting Paris and
it was my good fortune to meet sew
eral of them at an informal reception
at the Turkish embassy. AS a re-
suit of this meeting l have had to re-
form my ideas of Turkish women COM
pletely. and I hurry to acknowledge
that In NO country have l met more
charming representatives of my sex
than these refined and cultured Otto
man women. everyone OF whom was
convinced that II Their country is to
be rejuvenated and brought up to
modern standard a very important
part Of this task Is destined to be
performed by the fair sex.
These intrepid women have already
ton of their modern aspiration and
ideals. 1t is not sufficiently known
abroad what a splendid and decisive
part they played in the last bloo0less
revolution of Turkey. 1t is not too
much to say that had it not been for
their courage and self-sacrificing spir-
1t of devotion, as displayed during the
political upheaval two years ago. their
country would hardly be now in the
possession of it's constitutional re-
gime. They supplied large sums OF
money for the movement, they acted
as secret intermediates between the
leaders. they kept up to the very last
intimate correspondence with the i'm
mediate encourage of the Red Sultan.
and in many cases suffered tremen-
dous privations, Imprisonment. and
even death for the great cause OF the
liberation of their people; The mod
ern notifications in the external at
tire are already remarkable. The ira
ditional dense black yashmak (veiD
is now thing of the past. The major
ity of wells are now SO transparent
that the color of the hair can easily
be seen through them.
