THE ARMENIANS AND TURKS
HAVE SON1E QUEER CUSTOMS

''The conduct demanded of newly
married Armenian woman will strike
Americans as very singular, indeed"
remarked Antranig Azhderian, the
young Armenian writer, whose book.
The Turk and the Land of Haig." has
attracted such favorable attention.
| ''-She utterS never a word except
| when alone with her husband, until
| after the birth of her first child. Then
she is allowed to talk to her child. a
little later she is permitted to converse
| with her mother-in-law; still later her
own mother may again hear her voice,
and before a great while she will speak
/ in whispers to the young girls OF her
| household. She must not leave the
| house during the first year of her mar
| ried life, except to attend church. Her
] discipline as a bride terminates after
| six years, but she will never again
| open her lips to a man unless he be her
| kinsman. Young girls are allowed
| liberty Of conduct that is in striking
/ contrast. They chatter freely and
| cheerfully with whom they please.
THE Armenian woman differs radi-
| cally from her Turkish sisters. Neither
| seclusiOn, pOlygamy nor divorce dark
| en- her present nor threaten her fu-
/ ture. She is not educated With her
| brothers, however, as American girls
are, for remember how puzzled l was
when 1 entered an American college
and saw girls seated among the boys
| in the classroom.

ct seemed incredible that any one
could think a girl capable Of learning
along with her brother 1t is cOnsid-
cred a disgrace likewise for a man TO
walk publicly with a woman, even
though she be his sister. She may en-

face is never covered, like Turkish

While among many old Armenian
families parents contract for the mar

in their infancy, in the majority OF
cases the young people are permitted
20 make their own selections, though
always with the consent of their pa

age women must be put-sO the Mo
manned proverb says-'either under
the husband or under the earth; that
is, she must either marry or die
"A girl is perfectly manageable if
she is either pretty or wealthy. Should
she possess both. then she is a great
catch and will have many suitOrS.
About her wealth there can be no
doubt. as in the east ones financial
status is known to every one. The age,
too. can be easily ascertained. but the
puzzlipg question is about her good
looks Is she pretty? That must be
discovered, and, of course, as the young
man has no means of finding out for
himself, he must get some woman to
act for him. He usually resorts to d
Jewess, and if her report is Favorable,
he then brings the matter to his pa
rents attention and his mother. after
a call on the girl, aTrangeS a party at
a public bath. This is 10 ascertain if
the girl has any physical defects. These
bath parties are extremely fashionable,
and the women dress deliberately. a
meal of greasy pastries and sweets is
always served. after which comes the
smoking of cigarettes. long pipes and
water pipe-the women seated cross
legged on divans and gOssiping the en-
tire time. When this is over the party
prepare to enter a hot bath. During
the whsle entertainment the mother has
devoted herself TO the girl, and it is
needless to say If she has any imperfec-
lions they are discovered and reported
to the intended bridegroom.
Should her report be satisfactory,
after a few visits between the parents
the marriage is agreed upon and the
day set.
A Wife's Peril.
CAS- to the betrOthal, the husband has
to give a dower-or rather, hire as
the koran distinctly states. The mini
mum Of this dover is fixed. It may not
be less than $40 in your money. The
maximum is left open. and by that
arrangement the family of the girl is
able TO obtain some show Of fair play,
for in Turkey the only hold a woman
has on her husband is that to divorce
hsr he must turn over to her this
dover
after marriage ii is her prime duty
to court and obtain his good Will. for
if she displeaSe him she is in imminent
danger of missing paradise. A wife
whose tongue has made trouble for her
husband will have that useful ap-
pendange heightened TO 80 feet at the
Judgment. Should a man wish a di-
vOrce he has only TO return his wife

has to go; there is no redress. He need
