C., Sept. 4.—"“Some extremely modern young womer). who mistake symptoms for the causc of woman's independence, should make a tour of Turkey,” suggests a from the Washington head- quarters of the National Geographic | cociety. | the black enunch There women smoke, have had property rights for centuries, and di- vorce is easy, but who—in all respects —wants to be a Turk? \ “The ‘toys of the Turkish harems’ were to be pitied in many ways, it is true, but considerable pity for them has been misdirected. For example the Turkish women who now are to be ‘emancipated’ have had absolute control of their own property for hundreds of years, whereas the Ger- man wives cried in vain for such ‘emancipation’ under the Kaiser.” The bulletin quotes from a com- munication by Mary Mills Patrick, which gives a vivid picture of the condition of Turkish women before the World War, as follows “It is a well known fact that man law regarded the rights of the individual without consideration of sex; a man or a woman was alike a citizen of the Roman world, . This met the requirements of Mohamme dan life, where no woman ever nc cessarily sustained a lasting relation with any man. “Therefore, during all the centurias of Mohammedan history, women have legally controlled their own property. They have been free (o buy, sell, or alienate it without con sulting any male relative. This has given them independence of thought and an influence in business affairs that seems wholly incaonsistent with their life of comparative personal slavery. “Bnter a harem and there you see a Circassian beauty, who has been newly acquired by the tall, handsome pasha who -has just passed you,in the street.

A man could legally divorce his wife at any min. ute, the only condition being the pay- ment of the dowry which was settled upon her by the husband at the time of her marriage. “In the last attempt sex in the role assigned by the life of the harem, laws have been made to possible progress among have been proclaimed over and over again’ forbidding Mohammedan wom.- en to attend foreign schools. In this emergency they engaged governesses.

The governess system obtained so much influence after a short time that laws were made forbidding women tc have governesses.
