GsoEge A: Clark 4 Brother, the selling agents

Turks and Their Wives.
Having obtained a wife, it is worth
while to inquire how a Turk treats
her. I am not aware that she has
much to complain of generally from
the personal Entertainment of her hus.
band. ! should think, as a rule, that
the Turk is fair husband. The Turk,
in ordinary life, is not unkind or cruel.
The wife's misf0rtunes arise from her
position.
As husband and wife see little of
each other they are not specially given
to quarreling. But she is a woman,
possibly purchased outright in the
slave market, for it is pure illusion to
suppose that the slave-trade in Turkey
has been abolished and being woman
she bears about her on every hand the
marks of degradation. 1t is her duty
to wait on her husband, if he is poor,
at meals. Her accommodation in the
house is inferior to his. In all things
she is his slave.
If the wife is the daughter of a
wealthy man her lot is not hard one.
As the law regards marriage merely as
partnership. she keeps her own pl Op.
erty, and the husband has to be on his
good behavior to obtain a share of it.
If she is of poor origin she Can hardly
be said to have any rights.
On two or three occasions it has been
my lot to travel in the steamers of the
Austrian Lloyd's when we have had d
harem on board. In each case the hus
band was in the saloon with the resi-
of us, Living well and sleeping in com
Portable cabin. The poor women were
penned up as deck passengers, living
on wretched fuod which they had
brought with them. Only a few weeks
ago I travelled in a steamer carrying q
harem where there were perhaps TWEEN
ty women, wives and slaves who were
shivering under canvas which wa:
quite insufficient to keep out the pelt
ing rain. know that it is thing al
most unknown for a harem to have
cabins taken for it. The husband takes
care of himself, has, perhaps, as l re
member seeing, unlimited cham
payne, and leaves his women huddled
| together ON the deck to take care OF
themselves.
! I do not think it would be fail
to charge the Turk with cruelty fol-
thus treating his women. An English
man does not usually take frst-clas:
cabin for his servants, and the Turk
with no more intentions of ill-will O,
intention of harshness than an Eng
lishman who sends his servant third
class, will take the cheapest method O.
transport for his women.
