Every young Turkish lady now provides herself with two veils when she is in the public streets—a thin and a thick one. The former is retained for normal use, but when an official comes in sight the latter is immediately dropped down over it, like the curtain of a theatre.
What Next?—The passion for hanging a vast quantity of fanciful , objects on pendant chains about the' female waist has so gained ground that they now hang, in Paris and London, chains on both sides, and from these hang a great number of odder objects than ever before.

It turned out to be that of her pet monkey, properly polished and furnished with small crystal eyes.
