The Turks Wives.

Though Turk is allowed four
wives, he rarely has more than one,
both on account of the expense and
also for fear of placing himself at the
legal mercy of so many women. He
is also most anxious to be considered
on a level with the men of other Euro
pean countries, and he is aware that
a plurality of wives is fatal barrier
to his ambition in this respect. Monog-
amy is very surely gaining ground,
and the harem life is losing its hold
on the people. This is especially the
case in Constantinople, where the ma.
tive aristocracy is brought into closer
touch with the customs of other races,
and there is no doubt that in time
polygamy will be thing of the past.

Barred Women from Games.

One rule of the original Olympic
games could not be followed nowadays
without provoking serious trouble.
Women were not allowed to be pres
ent, or even to be anywhere in the
district when the games were being
celebrated on pain of being hurled
from a precipitous rock. This rule is
believed to have been defied only
once, when the offender was pardoned
in consideration of the fact that her
father, brothers and son had been vic
tors in the games. One particular
priestess, however, was not only ex-
empt from this law, but was accom-
modated with special front seat on
an altar of white marble, and women
were allowed to enter ch3riots for the
races, though they might not be pres
ent to see them win.
