Tangier, MorDcco.

Tangier, Morocco.
Dear Cousin Charley:
We are still In the land of the pirates.
although, as you see we have crossed
over into Morocco, where the Morocco
leather comes from that books are bound
in The men here are very dark and
wear loose white robes, and all carry
knives and pistols, which you can see
when their clothes flap in the wind. Rhe
women also wear big baggy white clothes
that never change in style. They wear q
veil around their faces all, but one eye
and no man but their husband Is ever
allowed to see their face The rich men
have harems where-they keep their wives
and some of them have as high as $50
to 200 wives No men are allowed to go
in the harem except the husbands, and
the women are guarded by fierce black
men called Ennachs. who would cut any,
body's head OF who tried to get in with
out a pass They let the ladies in.
though. and mamma and Mrs. Dean and
Dorothy went through several of them.
Dorothy said they were very beautiful
inside and the women. didn't do ANYTHING
but lie around and smoke cigarettes
The Moors think that the fatter woman
is the more beautiful she is, and the
favorite wife usually weighs about 500
pounds
1t was interesting to see the caravans
coming in from the desert of sahara,
long lines of camels driven by Arabs,
who rode fierce blooded Arabian horses
the finest in the world. except our KEN
lucky thoroughbred-the cameIs all load
ed with fruits and merchandise brought
hundreds of miles across the burning
sands.
We went down to the above market
where they sell men and women as slaves
just like a person would sell horses or
cattle, and 1 tell you 1t made me mad to
see the way those poor things were
treated. I'm glad We don't have slaves
in America.
Gee! you ought to see the snake charm
ers here-they have real live poisonous
snakes that il they bite you, you would
die in three minutes, but they put them
down on the ground and squat down in
front of them and commence blowing on
little hoochie-coochje horn and pretty
soon Mr.. Snake is sitting up and taking
notice. Then they can do anything with
the snake they want Well, must ring
off. Yours, HARRY.
