E are accused as a city and as a nation of being intensely W curious to hear what foreigners think about ua, And it we are, what of it? It is a healthy curiosity bora of open eyes and alert minds and does nobody any harm. Moreover, ia the long run we have a shrewd knack of weighing these opinions, ' eppraising their authors, and rating both at their true value, Only now and then does some visitor of different race and language pussle ug for a moment because we do not know hie work and worth. We have recently been favored with the visit of a French man of letters, a member of the French Academy, who frankly dreads] tue before he came, and whose careful politeness has only concealed the fact that he found us quite unbearable. Having accomplished , the errand of businese which brought him, M. Pierre Loti has sailed ‘away with an umdisguised sigh of relief and remarks only a little plsiner than the numberless interviews which he lavished upon us. “New York is a delightful city,” said M. Loti, “for the vigoroas he Evenin This 15 THE RIGHT U! BE SEEN i people who love noise and the continuous hum of the streets. For me it is not. I do not think I shall ever visit America again.” In fect, M. Loti finds it desirable as a kind of antidote to seek almost immediately “the silent Bosporous, where I have leased an old Turk- jsh mansion under the shade of the great Tomb of the Sultar. Achmet.” “There,” he says, “I can rest under the orange trees in the old- fashioned Moorish courtyard and have nothing to disturb my thoughts eave the rippling of the fountains and the singing of my Persian balbuls. I should be sorry if the Turks were driven away from Stamboul, because that ix now the only haven of rest left for those who are tired of the ever-rnshing world and wish to be left alone like myself to dream of the past.” Just 90. M. Loti is an accomplished “literary artist.” But few people even in France would assert that he is anything more than a fluent and finished writer of languorous and saccharine descriptions, a frank seeker of luxurious and exotic sensations, a dilettante and| e decadent, a Iady-killer of world-wide experience, retailing his memories in an endless monotone of gerttle melancholy and fatuous mey. Knowing all this, we wave him a cheerful farewell, wish him joy of his bulbuls, and turn contentedly back into the “hum” that is apt | to be heard where healthy people are at work doing something. _ Without the least ill-will in the world toward M. Pierre Loti, we feel { . all the better for his disapproval. — SELF-EVIDENT. HE Republican nominee for Governor of New York is all out i [ of patience with at least two of the candidates for President. The nimble-minded Job has made a careful study of the Roosevelt reasoning apparatus and decided that “when Mr. Roose- ‘velt tells me that, having taught me to think, I must think as he t does, then he violates the proposttion that I am thinking, and he «merely resolves me into one of a human quorum so that he can do business.” Ae to Mr. Wilson—the candidate for Governor has lived in Princeton and observed the Wilson intellect at close range. “Mr. | i Wilson is not open to discussion on a matter as to which he thinks he has concluded.” Reduced to lowest terms, then, the proposition reads: Theodore ‘4g ansound because he wants to argue with Job over things Job hes made up his mind about, and Woodrow is unsound because he har !ynade up his mind abont things Job wante to argue. Any way you ‘Sgure it, we are lucky to have Job. ' $+ , { Octoder 19, 1781, Lord Cornwallis, with a British army F ‘ consisting of 7,073 offcers and men, surrendered to Gen.

Let us rescue the women of Turkey! Let ue drag them from their harems and teach them Independence, that they may teed @ freer and higher life!" But I say unto thee: “WHEREFORE?!” For lo, in TURKEY, there are neither old maids, nor old bachelors, ner tight corsets, nor servant problema, nor janitors, nor jealousy. And a perfect lady may wear trousers and smoke cigarettes soitheut fear of being photographed for the morning papers. Likewise, all that is required of a Turkish wife is that she keep her nose powdered. Verily, verily, if this be “slavery,” then I say unto thee, bring on the SHACKLES! For Nirvana, itself, were not sweeter. \ Moreover, in the Land of the Sultan, a married woman is not consumed with doubts and misgivings as to WHO is her husband's latest affinity. : For, behold, he bringeth the loved one unto his house, and estadlishegh her in the front parlor, where all his other wives may Reep tabs upon her, A Thus doth he settle all questions without argument; and the arte of nagging and spying are umknown in his abode. Verily, a woman doth not stand for much in Turkey, but she knoweth just WHERE she standeth. But in America no wife knoweth where she standeth. Also, in the Harem, each wife is @ SPECIALIST; and there are wm slaves-of-all-work. Behold, one wife warmeth her lord's slippers, and another tows hie head. One wife filieth his pipe, and another singeth him love-songs. One wife cooketh his meals, another darneth his socks, and another manicureth his nails. . One wife coareth him when he és obstinate, another cheereth him rehen he is sad, and another sootheth his grouches. For the TURK is a gentleman; and doth not expect that his scrud-lady shall greet him at the door in a pink peignoir, with a cry of joy, when he returneth at eventide, Neither doth he require his houri to clean his boots, nor to arise ond take the ice from the dumbuwaiter. Go to! There be a hundred and six men unto every hundred women in America, Yet Man has not been able to keep Woman in “her place.” But, in Turkey, every man hath four wives, and numberless slaves; yet he can manage them ALL, with one hand, and his eyes closed. For the Turk knoweth that “woman's place” is in HIS ARMS, and his HOME; and he keepeth her there, with ohaina of velvet and fine gold. , He bdindeth her to him with love and lurury, and kisses and confections. Why, then, shall we seek to awaken the Happy “Haremette” out of dream? Nay, let us leave her to her draperies, and her perfumes, and her, illusions. : X For, peradventure, a satin-lined apartment in Constantinople, with Ae QUARTER-of-husband and twenty servants is better than a Hartem fist with @ WHOLE husband and NO servant, Selah.
