Turkey. e Bey] 4 foliow the creed of-‘the Prophet, but their women, as also those of Turkey, have exacted much more frecdom than was customary under the old laws. In Persia the ladies still retain their habits of seclusion. Though they en- tertain freely and lavishly at home and attend the fetes of others, they have not joined any of the feminist movements and they live much the same as before the *war dis- turbed the habits of "the Ottoman Empire and that of Egypt. It is not oconsidered good form for. a n lady ever to have her name uttered in public, still less to have it printed, and these rules still hold, apparently with the consent approvai of 1l concerned. No persian envoy has brought his wife to Washington, nor do their ladies usually accompan: their husbands into any alien land. Mirza Davoud Khan Meftah has ripe scholarship and the ease of the eos- mopolite, and he intends to revive in the legation the hospitable traditions of his country, which have lapsed somewhat during the long. interreg- num after the departure of the last Minister. - Comell Club Reception For Parents of Students Members of the Cornell Club of Washington will tender a reception to parents of students rnow attending the university. on Tuesday evening, January 11, at the University Wom- en’s Club, 1634 I street northwest.
