A notion seems generally prevalent in Europe that if only the harem doors were opened a rush for Uberty would immediately take place, and many are the sympathies wasted on the supposed Prisoners of the Mohammedan marriage ue. In reality, both men and women consider their state far superior to that of Europeans, The man argues thus: “You are a slave from the moment you marry. You cannot go out to lunch or dinner or wo your friends without taking your wite with you. You Caunot even leave her alone for a few hours without giving an account of yourself. Such @ state of things would be unbearable to me. I go where I like aud my wife goes where she likes pay my servants to look after her, and I am sure Una she Is not flirting with other men when I am not by her side. You are never sure of this,” &c, ‘This 13 his line of argument. The woman says: “My religion forbids me to look upon other men but iny husband. if { changed my religion, erhaps I should like to mix up with every fellow came across; but as long as 1am a Mohamme- dan I detest the thought of 1. I cover iy face {rom the sight of the World, as’ your women cover thelr bodies. "As tg being watched and guarded, it 18a compliment which shows how much my husband cares for me. “If he were to leave me to dowhat I liked I should know he did not care for me and should feel deeply insulted.” It 1s dimicult for the Western mind Tully to grasp the immense gulf bewween our ideas and theirs. Their reason- ing 1s fallacious and almost ridiculous trom our standpoint, but it 1s good enough from theirs. And therefore as long as the Mohammedan reiigioa lasts, so long wiil the harem exist. And its existence 1s, on ‘the whole, a happy and con- Vented one, in spite of all the redsoning wich may be brought to show that it ought vo be miserabie. ——_—eeeeoe Englishmen and Cold Water Baths, From the Loudon Gossip New York World.
