is that there is moi, perhaps, on the face OF the

more chivalric regard for ladies than the Hun
gayians. 1t is praiseworthy trait of the Onen-
Sal character. You know that 1t was the Moorish

full Of noble deeds, devoted TO the service OF

almost degraded to less than human condition,
being secluded from all social life, and pent up
within the harems walls. And so 1t IL. But you
must not Judge the East by the measure OF European
civilization. They have their own civilization,
quite different from ous In views, incnations afec-

that there is almost a religious regard paid
