especially in the lighter shades Of

Either of these turbans will look
we'll made up in black, but there is no
very good reason for choosing a black
hat for the drossipSt wear. 1t is good
policy TO own an all-black hat because
1t affords a change and is often the
best choice for some particular OcCa-
sion or with some particular costume.
black hat should be rather large
and Of excellent materials.
The small black hat is pretty, too,
but lacks the element of the pictur-
esQue in most cases. Although the
small bonnetike shapes with quaint
strap under the chin reminds one of
oldfashioned plates. Little garden
flowers in velvet or silk made up into
noscgays that nestle about on the brim
give a quaint old-timey touch to these
young faces

PERSIAN RIVERS.
They Take q New Name Of Every
1 Town Upon Their BankA

They Take q New Name Of Every
/ Town Upon Their Banks.
In Persia a river Is generally called
by the name OF the town on its banks.
and therefore changes it, name at each
town It reaches. This" writes Colonel
Stewart in Through Persia In Dis
guise." makes It very dif1cult to learn
the right names Of the rivers.
MY groom was an Armenian and
very much more intelligent than ordl
nary Persians, since he had been edu-
Gated at a mission school at Ispahan.
One day he WA swimming about In
some water We passed, and ! said 10
bin, No doubt you learned to swim
In the Zayendeh Rud'-tho river that
doWS by Ispahan. NO. SIR he replied,
I did not learn to swim in the zayen-
deb Rud, but in the Ispahan river
He actually did not know that the
large river passing his native town
was called the Zayendeh Rud, or, In
other words, that the Ispahan river
and the 2ayendeh Rud were one and
the same.
Another instance Of this confusion
is shown by what people call the
Abrishmi river. The name Of the river
e the Khl Mura, but the majority Of
Persians and also Europeans cross II
on the main post road between Meshed
and Teheran by a bridge that waa
built by a silk merchant and that 4
called 'PulAbdshmi.' or the silksn
bridge; so they call the river tho
tAbrishmi' or the silken river. which
q certainly not ita name The river,
which lows by Khusf. although at thil
point very slightly brackish, lower
