Lost em ALL, —the war and his flappers. Sult is new 4, in comparative retirement with « wives. But he's been jilted lately more times than Jenkins has been While the old Turk Army was fighting the Allies, the Sult was ping the H. ©. L. Only difference was, the army kept falling down and # H.C. L, kept going up. But still the old boy struggled. He held on to ti Dardanelles but he lost his dames. Sulit held the Allies off while he tried to stall his wrens. Kept giving the Allies slices of Turkey, but he ’ feed Friend Wives with that. Allies kept pushing him back and 4 looked like they'd finally put the Sult im the ocean. Harem kept p him too, only it was back to back. Turkish Army finally gave an h of a Turkish rug and took a beating. And then you couldn't see the Sult wives for dust. THEY beat it, too, and beat it fast. It was simply ing insult to the Sult. Before the war the Suit's harem had the best talent in the Europe and Asia mivor leagues. The Sult had more wives than he had rugs to ‘em up in. He had more queens than a pinochle deck. Some, soro: ity! peauties, too! A girl's face is her fortune in Turkey, same as in place, and the Sult certainly had a lotta fortunes tied fp in his ho When the harem babies were all together they had Vassar leked pulchritude to population, And the harem was headquarters for tabasco. Bat running a ranch of wrens is an expen- sive proposition, Not for their clothes, ander- stand, but for their grub. The harem janes hardly had a stiteh on their back, and there wasn't mach crepe de chine any other place. Yea, bo—beauty’s skin deep, as the proverbs pro- fess—aud the Sultan’s babies weren't even dressed to the depth of thelr beauty. ‘The old Sult ordered the royal carpenters to build a beautiful bungalow. He planned on love in a cottage for two thousand. As soon as one wing was finished the old boy would fill it with brides. The first bunch was ready to grad- uate by the time the dormitory was ready to occupy, but the Sult held ‘em over for post-graduate work. ‘The Sult had a swell life except at meal times, He'd line ‘em up look from limb to limb, the samé as @ squirrel jumps, He'd let a few of favorites fan him, But meal time was a different thing. The Sult could live on love, but the janes wore too many to feed on that diet, wanted food, and when they hollered for it they made the tr chorus sound lke a contralto solo. The Sult had so many dames to fet the dinner bell rang at three-minute Intervals, same as at a prize Only difference was, the girls never had any seconds.
