OF the reports of changes that come out
Of Turkey one of the latest is Of the re-
~striction Of public outings Of the Moslem
women. II this ruling is to be enforced
the hsrem beauties will be confined more
closely to the gardens Of the palaces; the
excursions to the Sweet Waters OF Europe
and Of Asia will be ended, and one of the
most picturesque features of life in Con-
stantinople will pass.
The Mohammedan women are fond of
outdoor life and spend as much of the day
time as possible in the open air. All Turkish
towns nave resorts in their immediate
vicinity which are especially maintained
for their pleasure. In Constantinople there
are the Sweet Waters. the Sultan's Valley
and the Vale Of Lindens, all beautifully
wooded tracts, within easy reach of the
city, which are visited during the warm
months by thousands of yelled women.
Along the country roads on bright days
one meets harem groups on the way for
0 days outing. The heavy bullock carts.
or srabas, as they are called. are packed
full, for all the women members Of the
household and the children are included.
The great old numbering coaches. with
their carved beds, are hung with brilliant
mats and carpets, and the slow going bull
Ocks are decorated with ribbons. and over
their backs are arches festooned with red
slken tassels. The women OF the harem,
in their yashmaks and feridjes, the children
"a fancy colored dresses and little red fezes,
decorated with gold or silver
the dancing girls and storytellers, their
faces unveiled, and with gay bits Of color
in their dresses, make an interesting and
animated group.
When at last their pleasure ground is
reached the servants spread out tho rugs
and carpets beneath the trees and by the
banks Of a running stream. On these the
women ~recline, while the children play
about and the storytelIers and singers begin
their entertainment. These family parties
are frequently Joined by other yelled women
who have often come to the grove on foot.
But although they may not have a carriage
they always nave their accompaniment OF
servants, who wait on them and carry the
children IN their backs. There are no men
present. The eupuchs, after the parties
are settled, withdraw to a short distance
and keep guard over their charges.
The Turkish women have all their outings
10 themselves. Men never attend them.
Fathers and brothers are excluded as rig
orously as strangers, though it is most
probable that they would consider it far be-
meath their dignity to participate, even
il they had been invited. While the affec-
ton Of a Turkish son for his mother, and a
brother for his sister is strong, they are
never seen together in public. As in all
Oriental nations the mother occupies the
most honorable position among a mans fe-
male relatives. A young man mother and
sister are his only women friends, and to
this fact may be traced that strong afec-
ton that he invariably holds for them.
The mother is always the head Of the
household. She is above the wife. The
wife always kisses the husbands hand. and
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-11-18

also that Of her mother-in-law. The intro
duction of other wives does not change this
order, but only gives the first wife, in her
turn, subordinates OF her OWL. When the
mother-in-law enters a room all the women
must rise, and remain standing till she gives
the signal to be seated to the first wife. who
passes it to the second, she to the third, and
so on.
A father is sometimes to be seen upon the
streets with his little girl, or a brother with
his young sister. But as soon as the girl
dons the veil she enters the rank of woman
hood, and is thenceforward amenable to
the laws Of the harem. The father and
brother could not frequent the public
p~romenades in company with their woman
without bringing them directly unGer
the notice of their men acquaintances, and
in that way infringing the fundamental
principles of Moslem domestic life.
But though strictly excluded from mas
culine society, there are yet many diver
sions open to the women. They may re-
main out Of doors. shopping and visiting
friends. from sunrise to sunset without
obtaining their husbands permission. II
is not lawful, however, for Turkish women

Turkish women make frequent excursions
to the cemeteries, and groups Of yelled
women on every pleasant day are to be
seen under the cypress trees with which
the burial grounds are thickly planted.
But the most important outings OF the
women of Constantinople are made on 4,
Fridays, the Moslem Sabbath, to the Sweet
Waters, the curved billy ridge around
which the almost motionless rivers fiow
to meet at the Golden Horn.
They make the trip to these charming
pleasure grounds in light c~ainues, and on
fine afternoons the river is filled with theso
little craft, while at the place where they
disembark the surface of the water is al
most hidden, 40 closely are they crowded
in. In the luxuriant shade thousands
OF women sit on the grassy carpet or on
CAV mats. Tho silken robes in which the
ladies' are clad, the innumerable children in
gaudy costumes racing from group to
group, petted and clressed by every one.
and the great body OF emuchs and SER
wants, form a picture that leaves a vivid
memory with every traveller who sees it.
Fruit, coffee and sherbet merchants
peddle their wares; a dancing bear or Punch
and Judy show, dancing girls, fortune
tellers, musicians and other entertainers
pass here and there ready TO display their
skill for a few piastres.
In the afternoon, at the approach OF
sunset, the crowd suddenly disperses and
Turkish women hurry homevard in all
directions Caique after caique glides
swiftly along the river, and heavier
barges, loaded with a whole harem listen
ing to the tales of the story teller kneeling
in front. are propelled slowly onward by
slaves. From the cafes and coffee houses
along the banks, hung with Chinese Ian
terms. groups of women and children call
greetings to the people in the boats and
are answered gayly back. The tinkle OF
the mandolinS, and the voices OF singers,
the clint Of lights through the approach
inc dusk all add to the fasCinatiOns of the
homeward journey. At the piers othe-
servants and slaves await the arrival of
their mistresses, Who, their outing over,
are hacked into tightly closed brougbams
and hurried within the palace walls.
