Let me tell you my experience 70
marked a young woman who had been lis

trouble than any one l know in keeping my
hat IN and my hair up when autoinS; and
Just after I became engaged I was In
vited by my fiano6 to 60 with him In his
new motor or to call on some relatives
living up the Hudson. There were two other
guests In the party, but I was the guest OF
honor, and as wanted to a good inn
gave a lot OF thought to my costume, and
particularly to my hat,
"We were to start in the forenoon, have
luncheon at an inn, spend part OF the after:
noon and nave tea with the relatives, and
had to plan for an all day toilet which would
stand the strain.

look like q fright with an unbeooming or
topsy turvy sort Of hat, and ! knew II, and

Of. ! resolved that would not, and, as Q
means to an end, I got out the hat which
stayed on best and fell to studying,
Il noticed that 1t had a thicker band OF
most OF my, hats and that the crown was
broader. That gave me an idea.

firmly than silk, straw or any other mate
rial, 80 l went to work and sewed under the
brim Of my most becoming hat q thick band
went clear around the crown instead OF
stopping at the sides after crossing the
front. This band outlined a space fully
-four and one-half inches In diameter, OF, In
other words, 1t edged che opening Of the
than two inches deep. .
aThen I cut out a piece Of velvet the size OF
the opening and sewed II inside about one
inch from the edge, making a false crown.
In preparation for the start I did up my hair
rather higher and more compactly than
usual, for l did not mean to take on my hat
at all during the trip, with the result that not
only the velvet and fastened on to my hair
but the false velvet crown caught hold OF the
braids which pushed up into the crown,,

Instead OF wearing a veil tied under

less than W. yards long, and wore II In the

aYes, a wide velvet band and false crown
Of velvet makes a hat a good deal heavier;
but then one must be willing to put up with
some sort OF misery in order to look attrao-

This is what happened: We meant to
stop for tea at the Jones place, 30 that my
husband could have a look at their new
auto. Therefore I wore one of my best
costumes, and Of course my new hat and
a small face veil only. being positive

marriage ceremonies the bridegroom was ai

shrieked. I won't have you
But he already had her. The only thing
left him val to get divorced.
Not polygamy, but divorce, constitutes
the grievance OF the Turkish woman. Few
houses contain more than one wife. but
divorce lie frequent and attended by few
legal complications. The husband can
always remarry his wife three times. II
after that he divorces her and wants to
remarry her she must Just 60 through he
formality Of being married to another man
and then divorced from him.
This practice has given rise to q new
profession, that Of proxy husband. The
proxy husband Is generally blind and bear
and relinQuishes his bride without regret
as soon az the legal processes have been
gone through.
Sometimes, however. he insists on hold
ing on to her. There wal q man Twin
on the shores Of the Bosporus who quar-
relied with his wife and divorced her as
many times as he legally could. But al
though he had difficulty In living with her
In peace, he had no zone lost her than
he found he could not get along without
her. How to remarry her for tho fourth
time was the problem.
SAT this crisis q friend offered to play the
role OF proxy husband. His offer was 40
copied. When the legal ceremony had been
p erformed he refused to relinouish her.
The angry husband raved and threatened,
but the friend ass erted HE legal rights and
kept her,

no statistics, but 1t hardly seems az II he
needed to tie his knots much tighter TO COM
pete with us.
aThe only way q Turkish husband has
Of getting ever with q teasing or bad tenn
pered wife is to threaten her with divorce
or a second wife. While divorce Is thus
trifed with, there are checks upon 1t, such
as the obligatory return in full Of the wife's
dowry.

I'm Turkey married men are regarded

Neither, for that matter, have the girls they

are somehow supplied with husbands by the
brides or diplomacy Of their fathers.
Sometimes this system, which seems
to have been devised for the special benefit
Of plain girls and u~nattractive women,
since the bride Ia never seen unveiled by
the bridegroom till after the marriage cere-
mony, results in tragedy.
