It Is not tin easy mntter lo form a ust Idea of the beauty of the Turkish .voiudi, for beneath their coquettish rells nnd unenviable dross?, their (lowing complexions, immense black eyes, well turned chins, perfect outline jf face, their figures may be anything but charming. Taylng calls nnd attending wedding fetivuls, promenading, driving, shop ?ing and seeking the bath are th? chief imitspinciiti of the odalisque. I'.'fore the outings faces nre blanched, then rouged, eyebrowsniid eyelashes touched up. and numerous little coquetries re oirted to. which, when toned down by :he transparent yashmak, are calcu lated to provoke admiration In the jreast t.f n spectator. Only n few or the rich garments of :he harem are worn they nre too aeavy. and only intended for display. A haretii is composed of various na lioiiu lilies, and occasionally it is diffi cult lo enforce harmony. Many times we have bwn umi,seil by stage pictures representing a seraglio "tenipest in the lea pot." fancying it an exaggeration, !ut If we recollect the dust thut flies when two lady birds tire disagreeing, we may readily realize tbnt tlfty or more damsels might cause, with but little etTort, cyclonic effects. When the Inmates of the hurem take advantage of their outing to indulge in little harmless Uirfution they have the udvantuge of being nble to avoid the male relatives. It would be im possible for n man to recognize his wife beneath such a costume, and while the husbands nre devoutly smiting their breasts in the mosques, the wives nre Iriving in their carriages, enveloped iu clouds of gauze mid decked with jew i'lry. What can prevent or eclipse the flash ing of the black, swimming, languid eye? A voluptuous form, dellcutely small white bunds, features not nt all coarse all these nre hidden. The eye ttloup must bear all the odium of the Intrlguunte. The Turkish woman is neither so bad nor so good us she is painted, her coquetry is not of the per lions kind, and she obeys her lord und master passively. Her prevailing pas sion is fondness for sweets nnd smok-lug-nothlng cuu describe the amount of ooiifectlouery and tobacco consumed Iu a harem. Treating Stubborn Hair, finishing, shampooing, etc., which ore such important elements in good grooming, will improve even seemingly hopeless locks, while systematic train ing will after u time make the most ob stinate hair lie iu the desired direction, liecuuse the hair has been somewhat neglected in this respect in the past, do not work on the principle that If a cer tain ntnount of care is beneficial a good deal will do wonders; heroic measures almost always prove dlsustrous. Coax but do not force mutters, as too fre quent brushing nnd other manipula tions of the hair Irritate the scalp and cause the hair to full out. Hair which Is scrupulously clean but very stubborn in Its habit of growth needs training instead of shampooing, a common er ror in this day of good grooming. Close observation will soon teach one the dif ference between fluffy hnlr and that which is extremely dry. Never tinder any circumstances allow the hulr to re main at night in the coil or pleats worn during the day. for injury is done the sculp, and the hulr soon ussumes awk ward lines from the hours of pressure Iu the wrong direction. Before retiring brush th" tut ir thoroughly and confine It iu one or two very loose pleats. Tbls will Insure a free circulation of air through the hair nnd relax the delicate muscles of the scalp which are more or less irritated by the pressure of numer ous pins nnd the weight of the hulr conllned at one point. To assist In the training moisten the hair with n little good tonic such us u preparation of quinine and buy rum containing n small per cent, of oil, and brush in the desired direction each time the brush ing is done.

Kansas City Journal, l.ove Marriages. "Tve married for love." How really few there are who can any this with imy degree of truth? There are so many marriages of convenience nowa days, so niuny ordinary unions, nnd, be sides, it is so sentimental to confess It thut one seldom heurs of a marriage purely through love. Hut these idenl marriages do exist, nevertheless, and. despite poverty, prove blessings from beginning to end ing. It is a pleasure to toll and scrnpo and snve for one another; it Is a pleas ure to deny oneself for his or ber dear suke, and if good fortune falls their way. It Is nil the more enjoyable be cause of their devotion in trying pe riods. Alas! so many have married for lovt which has existed only for a year or two. Commonplace life rubs the gilt off the gingerbrcud, and love marriages often develop Into very ordinary unions, indeed, where husband nnd wife seldom mention anything of love. preferring only an outer polish neces sary to comfort. True love marriages grow stronger as the years go by, und devotion la' until death severs. Latest ote la Eua broidery.
