ranged themselves on the floor on our left, and Ali stood

three female singers. , and beside tlyita the music. Cori•

the whole Company amounted to upwards of forty per

scrutinise their dress and features.
The two famed danseeres bore Arahie names which
were translated to no as the Orange• Blossom and the
Apple-Biessons. The first was of medium size, with an
olive complexion, and regular, though nut handsome fea

ehou7s to the hips, with short. flowing sleeve* , under

the singers was one named Booth, who is the only real

were large. but perfectly regular. and her long. thick,
silky hair hung loose nears to her shoulders before its I
gleaming mass was gathered into braids. Her teeth were

the most musical accent of, which an Arab vo:ce is capa

the shrill, barbaric tones of the vorlio, and the prelude
passed into a measured song of long. trivarying codeces,
which the drums and tarnborine accompanied withjapid
boats. The orangs-blossom and one of her companions
took the floor, after drinking unother gins of *rakes and
tightening the shawls &mead their hips. The dance
commenced with &stow movement, both hands befog
lifted above the head. while the jingling bits of metal on
their shawls and two miniature cymbals of brass, fasten

were more rapid and violent. and the measure Was Mark

movements, had they not accorded with it, would have
