IN TINE i
:eSt,,SanJ
tie, graceful, and fascinating, a pa
sha’s wife asked how it was possi-
ble that so comely a person should
come from the Yeni Dunya (the
new world). She knew America
only by that name, and to her it
was a land of forests and savages.
When she was told there were cities
there as large as Stamboul, and
more beautiful even, in her simplici-
ty she could not retrain from ex-
pressing her astonishment:—“Ay-
vallab ! guerchek mi der !” “Heav-
ens ! can it be true ? But your
skin is as white as ours, and what
sweet eyes and mouth ! Fatima
guel !” said she. clapping her hands,
and in a moment a female slave,
bowing low, stood before her,
her hands clasped on her
breast. “Kahoe chibouk guefij”
“bring coffee and pipes.” She
returned with a pipe having an am-
ber mouthpiece, cherry stem, gilded
bo wl, and a band of diamonds at the
junction of mouthpiece and stem.
It was necessary, for politeness sake,
to take a whiff or two, then the cot-
fee, and next a round of confitures.
As hostess and guest sat side by side
on the divan, the stranger was plied
with all kinds of odd questions, and
everybody looked on with eager cu-
riosity. When the stranger rose to
leave she was entreated to come
again. “Ben sizeye guidememen.”
“I cannot visit you, but you can me,”
she laughingly ejaculated. The tia-
rem apartment was not very ele-
gant, not very clean, though per
fumed with all the odors of Araby.
There were no paintings, of course,
no ornaments hut two large French
mirrors, and the furniture consisted
only of a soft, broad divan, richly
covered in blue damask silk, with
small stool-stables inlaid with moth-
er-of-pearl. It is sufficient for all
purposes, and is the same in the im-
perial palace as in the konaks of the
pashas.—[Constantinople Cor. Phil-
