C0NSTANTTNOPLE, Nay G3.-In spite of
popular prej4Gicc Tugl%lsn women are not
the unhappy, Gagged birds that people
think futtering their wings and beating
their hreasts 2 gainst theIIaEsCethe latticed
windows. CUslgEa sanct1onS-and their re-
7iEion makes SACRED in their eyes the pecu-
liarcIrsDoms that G0ycr1 their marriage
rotations, and thsTT IS not a woman among
ahem who would have them otherwise.
Indeed they luCl1 upon the women of other
nations BBsOlyjprts Of cozGEIisezis- ion, for do
they nos have 10 tod and wait upon their
Husbands, xkp evidently do Rot&ovethem
