| urban of the same color, and her large
earrings, her brooch, and the rings on
her plump white hands were set with
imitation diamonds. (The splendid
| jewels seen at Oriental weddings are
usually lent for the occasion) She sat
in an arm chair, while we occupied a
very low divan, which, like all the rest
of the furniture, was so well protected
| by a white linen cover that only an
inch or so of the rich yellow could be
seen. There was piano in one corner
of the room and the ornaments were
gaudy vases, and chenille flowers and
birds made by the ladies Of the harem
themselves.
Our hostess first expressed her pleas
ure in receiving me in her home, then
her surprise that I should have come
without my mother and that was I'M
able to speak Turkish, saying that tone
ought know everything!' This senti-
ment, coming as 1t did from an abso-
lutely ignorant woman without ambi-
ton of any kind, astonished and anus
ed me not little, and l forthwith ask
ed her why she had not had her only
daughter who had joined onslaught
the girl had been too delicate to do
French, anything more personal being
out of the question. She replied that
much of anything, except take lessons
on the piano. After much urging, the
thfrteen-year-old daughter-an uncan-
ny little creature with soft animal-like
eyes, 50 large that they seemed to take
up half of her pinched face, played us
the "Sultan's March in a very credita-
BILE manner indeed, although the instru-
ment was old and out Of tune, to put
it mildly. When | asked the mother
why she did not give the pale child
strengthening food and see that she
got plenty of fresh air she replied that
her daughter preferred to eat sweets
and remain in the house all day. so
there was nothing to be done. Both
mother and daughter were eager to
learn how l could possibly desire to
travel and see so much of the world.
And when I told them that I possessed
a scarlet wrapper of just the same
shade, made and trimmed exactly like
the one worn by the little girl, their
delight knew no bounds. They were
pleased, too, to have me say that no.

stretch, unlock the box, gather the let
ters and lock up the box and hurry TO
the mail car to avoid getting left alto
gether. And another bad feature is
that persons dropping in letters to so
south or north are liable to have the
letters so in an opposite direction, as
the mail clerk who opens the box has
no time to sort out the letters until
after he gets back on the train and tn an
they are sent in the right direction on
later mail and cause much delay in
their reaching the intended destination.
Why Wallingford cannot have two box
es, one at either end of the platform,
like other places, is hard to understand.
Surely Uncle Sam is not so hard up
that the price of one iron letter box ana
a paddock can embarrass the finances
of the government. No doubt but that
the postal clerks would chip in to pay
for the extra box rather than have to
take the chances they have to do under
the present regime. Before the new
change went into effect the letters in
the box were taken out by Elmer Wal
lace and sorted and put on the mail
cars on every mail train during the
day and evening, and Sunday morning
the letters were taken up to the post
office and sent on the 1924 train. Now

During my recent stay in CONSTANT
services of most intelligent girl-guide
and interpreter, who made it possible
for me to visit three harems belonging
to the upper, middle and lower classes
1t is not an easy matter for foreigners
to obtain such glmpses of harem life,
particularly in the wealthy harems
hospitable and kind as are the Turks
by nature, unless it be brought about
by the aid of some such person with
whom the harem women and their hus-
bands are familiar. This young girl,
who, although OF German pareutage,
was born and educated in Constantine
pie and is a. teacher of languages at
we'll fitted to act in the capacity of
guide, having been for some time gov
erness to the little son of the minister
of war. The experience has proved Of
great value to her, for when she fails
to accomplish what she desires, she has
but to turn to him or some other high
official with whom she became acquaint-
ed while with her employer, and all
obstacles are at once removed from her
petth.
Our first visit was to the largest and
most luxurious harem in Constantine
pie next to the Sultan's, that of his
high priest, the Sheik ul Islam, which
is but a few steps from the imperial
palace and the mosque where the sui
tan pays his devotions in state every
Friday. The Sheik is a man of great
influence and wealth and has four wives
who are very strictly kept-for their
only outings consist in driving to the
mosque, or in going into the garden
after dark, and even this they seldom
do.
A servant in a slovenly calico dress
opened the door for us and with a
friendly smile led US up broad, car
peted stairway into a large, sunny par
lor. The mansion consists of several
fine suites of rooms which are occupied
by the different wives and the SON s
wives, the whole making a very COM
Portable impression. We were cordial
ly welcomed by the second wife, the
first and therefore most important wife
being an Egyptian of so Jealous and
disagreeable disposition that she has
for years remained shut up in her apart
ment, refusing to see any one. The
animated countenance of the portly
middle-aged lady showed traces of great
beauty, and she talked and gesticulated
in the yiyacious manner which is so
often met with in Turkish women. Her
plainly made gown was of yellow cot
ton crepe, on her head she wore silk

I was a sufferer for eight years from that

can now say truthfuly that | am entirely
cured. 1 tried some Of the best physicians
in the country, but they did me little good.
The palms of my hands were covered, and
would become infiamed; little white blisters
at first would appear, then they would peel
off, leaving red, smooth surface which would
burn like fire and itch; well, there is no name
for it. On the inside of the upper part of
both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as became
warm, the burning and itching would begin.
Night after night would lie awake all night
and scratch, and almost so wild. l heard of
CuToURA remedies, got box of CUTIoURA
(ointment), a bottle of CUTIoURA REsoLvENT
(blood purifer), and gave them thorough
trial, and after a few applications l noticed
the redness and inflammation disappear; be-
fore Ihdd aSed one boz there aCdS not a sign OF
