Mrs. Tomp kins was a Swiss, and , sat behind . the counter dispensing gloves and , cosmet ics to Turks, Greeks, Jews, Americans and other nationalities. By her side sat a pretty, light-haired Swiss girl. who had picked up a smattering of Turkish, by means , of which and by her good looks sne attracted many Turkish' Pashas to the shop in quest of gloves and mild flirtation. Among them was the present bultan. He saw and loved the fair Swiss girl. One afternoon she announced to her aunt that she was about to marry a Pasha In vain the aunt explained, to her that she was disgracing herself by such an alliance, and endeavored to lure ner back to recollections of her native land telling her how happy her lot would be as the bride Of a tradesman in Berne or Lucerne. The neice remain ed true to her Pasha, and Mrs. Tomp kins, with many misgivings, consented to tne wedding. The rasna is now the Sultan. The Swiss girl is Sultana.
