DIVORCE IN TURKEY.
The Only Formally s the Return of the
BRIDES Dowry.

The Only Formally Is the Return of the
BRIDES Dowry.
Divorce in Turkey is obtained with a
facility which would surprise even our
transatlantic cousins. AS easily as
Abraham cast forth Hagar, the bond
woman, and her child, so also can the
Turk open the door of his harem and
send out into the world the woman who
no longer pleases him. He has but to
give her back her dover and personal
effects. In the upper classes, however,
certain legal formalities are gone
through, and indeed, as the lady is
usually protected by her parents. di-
vorce is, comparatively speaking, rare.
There are instances, however, in Con-
stantinople of ladies' in the highest Of
fetal circles who are not yet very far
advanced in years, who have been d.
yoreed twice, thrice. and even ten times.
Among the lower orders divorce may be
described as farce. Many girls who
are not yet 20 years of age have been
divorced and remarked a dozen times.
The surprises of divorces are among
the most amusing features of Turkish
social life. A very great parsonage,
second only to the sultan in rank, UNI
less, indeed, it be the Sheik I'll Islam,
married some few years ago, when his
position was very inferior to what it is
at present, highly educated lady, of
good connection and fortune, but, ac-
cording to his excellency's version of
the story, of ungovernable temper.
Within the year they were divorced and
remarked. The lady soon found
her new husband disagreeable, and
was once more divorced. 1t must be
remembered that if Turk can divorce
his wife, she can only divorce him at
his pleasure by making herself as I'M
pleasant to him as possible. In former
times he tied her up in sack and had
her dropped into the Bosphorus. To-
day he divorces her.
TO return TO the lady in question.
The next time she was heard of by her
friends was as teacher in the Moham-
medan high school for girls at Scutari.
a few years back she was selected as
governess for the children of the
khediva, and is now her highness' pri-
yate secretary, in which quality she ac-
companied her imperial mistress to
Constantinople last year and actually
found herself seated at q state ban
quet at Yildiz Kiosk next to the third
wife of her first husbnd, who quietly
asked her who she was. Tableau, The
ease with which DIVORCE can be OBJ
tanned in Turkey leads to many abuses
and creates state of affairs not un-
like our prostitution.-Fortnightly Re-
,-iss.
