They wore the Turkish costume.

The daughters, two of whom were exceedingly beautiful, wore wide trousers, a caftan, and a sash round the waist.

On their heads they had little fez-caps, and their hair was divided into fifteen or twenty narrow plaits, interwoven with little gold coins, and a larger one at the end of each plait.
A necklace of gold coins encircled their necks.

The mother was dressed in exactly the same way.

When elderly women have little or no hair left, they make up with artificial silk plaits for the deficiencies of nature.
The custom of wearing coins as ornaments is so prevalent throughout Syria, that the very poorest women, girls, and children strive to display as many as possible.
