Have more Enjoyment Than They
Are Credited with.
Nor let the maidens and matrons OF
the west entertain too much the old
ideas about their sisters In Mohamme-
dan countries. There was always
considerable degree of error in the
views commonly held about the posi-
ton of women in the east. People even
went so far as to affirm that the Koran.
and Mohammedan opinion after 1t, de-
MED to women the possession of souls.
Nothing could be a greater blunder;
the Paradise of Islam is open to one
sex as widely as the other. Among the
four perfect women in heaven the
prophet names his own wife. and the
Institutions OF his law are Just and
tender to degree toward females.
If well informed person We're called
upon to name the country in which
womanlxInd has her rights most clearly
defined and most jealousy guarded
the country where, taking all in all,
women are most happy, most safe and
best contented-he would name Turkey.
II srch selection startled his question
er, he would quote from the Mohamme-
dan civil law precept after precept.
not only favorable to women, but in
the highest degree protective OF them.
and equitable to all their claims. Nomi-
nally, no doubt, polygamy prevails, but
practically 1t is rare.
Divorce, again, Is largely allowed by
the rules Of the Koran, but as mat
ter of fact IL is not so common as with
us and the Americans; and II is with
the utmost reluctance. because OF the
opinion of his neighbors, that respect
able Muslin resorts to such step.
Among many characteristic precepts
is that which enacts that, II divorced
woman bears child soon after the
divorce, the husband must MAINTAIN
IL and her for two whole years.
Nor as regards social privileges have
Turkish women any particular reason
nowadays to envy their western Bis
tera. In the middle and lower classes
they pass In complete freedom about
the towns and clties, preserving only
their incognito with the ''yashmak. OF
face veil. In the upper circle this relic
Of the past and badge OF respectability
has been refined from thick mask
into the lightest and fimslest muslin,
very feebly concealing the fair fea-
lures which often accompany the In
yAriably brilliant eyes.
