Dress of Moslem Women.

We regret -io learn that certain of our women, not appreciating the exceptional gravity 'of the general situation and of our present national situation, and in spite of the reiterated and energetic orders of the military authorities, dress themselves ip an unsuitable way, and one calculated to seriously offend the religious sentiments and national customs. In the name of the well-being oT the country we call upon the military authorities to put an end to such a state of affairs by a few exemplary punishments, for this method of dress is neither fashionable nor artistically beautiful nor does it comport with feminine prestige. —From the Tasfiri Efkiar, Constantinople.
