youthful ardor and imagination have
done more, L suspect, for their great
reputation than nature has done A
dark eye and white forehead seen
from behind veil enable a fervent
imagination to fashion n beauty which
a fully revealed face would not bear
out. The Russians have struggled
hard to stop the trade in girls for the
Turkish harem, but an intelligent
Georgian told me it was still carried on
to limited extent, but insisted it ex-
listed only upon the mountains near the
Black Sea, and not in his part OF the
country But after all does the thing
really DO harm? A handsome girl is
sold to a Turk-she becomes his wife
and her parents in their old age have
some comforts. Left here she and they
live like PICS in sly. The girls, | am
told, do not go as unwilling slaves, OF
at least not more so than many a
beauty that you and | know of at home,
who march grandly up the church aisle
to the wedding march smothered in
orange blossoms and lace, and are

would suppress the selling of slave
girls, and yet their own wives, daughters
and sisters are or were made princely
merchandise. Not far from the Baltic
there are royal studs were princesses
are bred and regularly trotted out and
right royalty sold The thing is called
state alliances. Following these are
those shining examples for common
folk to follow, such as Milan's platonic
hirtations with actresses, crown prin-
cesses drinking many waters while their
husbands dissipate in pastures green,
and imperial morganatic widows the
leaders at Nice, ETC., etc. Bah the
slave trade in girls has been partially
suppressed under these grand noun
tains, but it is still rife in princely
palaces in Belgravia and possibly in
fashionable American society, and is
of beastly character in London pur-
