The coming marriage of Mustapha Pasha's daughter to Khalil-Sherif Pasha is throwing Turkish society in a flutter. Four splendid carriages have been sent from Paris to complete the number of the bride's equipage. Thirty gorgeous robes are being made by fashionable modistes. The wedding veil, of Brussels lace, has cost £500. Besides the jewels presented by the bridegroom, the Princess will wear on the day of her marriage a tiara and necklace of diamonds presented by her father. These costly gifts have been purchased for £20,000. So that the young lady will be right royally appareled, and it is a satisfaction to think these valuables are her own; she cannot be deprived of them by her husband or by any other person, the Turkish law being careful to secure a wife's property. Two of her private apartments have been furnished by a Parisian upholsterer at a cost of £2,500, not including clocks, vases, lamps, and other works of art and ornament.
