WOMEN CLNGNG TOVEL I PERSA But Progressive Ideas Are Noted in Them by Wife of Diplomat Here. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Although a law was promulgated by Shah of Persia two years ago per- »“mitting the women of the land to go unveiled, only a small percentage of the fair sex has taken advantage of the % freedom permitted them. ¢ _ Mme. Bader, French wife of Abdol < Vahab Bader, first secretary §f the ¢ Persian Legation and Charge d'Affaires, £ ad interim, one of the newest arrivals ¢ to Washington's diplomatic circles, + through a residence of many years in - the cquntry of the Shah, learned to = know and understand the pretty veiled ¥ women of that land with a greater in- timacy than is often extended to women of Western countries. A graduate of the faculty of medi- cine of the University of Paris and also of the Ecoles des Langues Orientales, where she learned the intricacies of both the Persian, the Hindustani lan- guages, Mme. Bader, shortly after the war, was extended an invitation by the Persian Government to take charge of the work, as well as teach and lecture, at the Women's Hospital in Teheran. Mme. Bader says that she found plenty of work awaiting her. Hospital Graduates Numerous. “The Women’s Hospital in Teheran, ©of which I was the head for several years,” said Mme. Bader, “now gradu- @tes every year woman nurses and doc- tors who have specialized in work to be carried on _among members of their own sex.

Bader. ‘The wife of the Persian secretary, a perfect type of the blonde, fair-com- plexioned Frenchwoman of the Brit- tany country, declares that the shy- ness and modesty of Persian women is only surpassed by their beauty. “Although not very tall, they have lovely, graceful figures,” she d, “which they still conceal by the long, flowing folds of the mnative chaddor, a black satin garment which they wear draped from the top of the head to . Their clear white skins and long, black, shining hair is hidden by their veils, known as the peecha, when they go out, revealing only their great, soft, black eyes, “Although the Persian woman may not, perhaps, take visible and active gfi.n in political affairs, her influence incontestable,” declared Mme. Bader. *“She makes her influence strongly felt through the media of her relatives and ~husband.” Life of the women of Persia’s prov- inces has always differed considerably from that of their urban sisters, Mme. Bader added. “The country women have always had more work to do than the city women,” she said, “and there- fore have gone without their veils for many years.

Bader added that teaching was also a popular occupation for Persian women and that girls’ schools, provided “ with woran teachers, are constantly in- creasing. s Many Become Teachers. “There are also teachers' schools for women,” she said, “and as was pointed out before, the Women's ‘Hospital is yearly in the num- of girls who are nurses” Persia_has always followed a custom although not prohibitory in its Influence in bride, which in case of es the property of the sum of money is only paid to case of a divorce. Yes,” she “it is frequently cheaper to keep to divorce her.” ,” she concluded, “divorces foecur, but in a far smaller proportion than that of European countries.” “Altogether,” said Mme. Bader, “Per- sian women, though less progressive than the women of Europe, are happy and contented with the quiet of their lves. Although they are not always very learned, they are clever with a natural intelligence which to greet any form of progress. This is significant in a country which | Teachers’ is rapidly going forward under the le-aeruhlg of the progressive ruler, Shah levi.” Ensign 8. Maryland, to Battle Fleet. Lieut.
