PARADISE FOR SUFFRAGISTS
A Little Corner Of the Sahara Desert
Where Feminism Is In
Full Swing.

A French explorer just returned
from Africa has addressed an open
letter to Mile. Laloe and to the woman
doctor Nine. Pelletier, the great advo-
Gates of woman's rights advising them
To leave at once for the Sahara, or
rather to that district inhabited by the
tribe called Tuaregs.
The Tuaregs, says the explorer, are
crafty, cruel and treacherous, but they
are ardent apostles of feminism. The
Tuareg women are indeed privileged
beings. They have camels of their
own, which their husbands are not al
lowed to mount, and their household
duties are, so to say, nil
They are allowed to have an ad-
mirer who saddles their camels and
runs errands for them According to
the Gentlewoman, the attitude of this
admirer must remain strictly platonic,
for If he starts making love to the
lady the husband flies into temper,
and an angry Tuareg becomes a dam
gerous creature.
According to the laws of the coun-
try The Tuareg woman need not fol-
low her husband unless she wants to
do so, nor is she compelled to serve
her. spouse. She is educated, for she
can read, and this accomplishment,
not shared by the other six, gives her
q privileged position in so far that she
acts as judge or arbitrator in all diff
cult cases. sg ..Ji.-.r .l,.r.

BYron's Bride Of AbYdos.

II is just 100 years ago that Lord
Byron arrived in Greece, where he
wrote that beautiful poem, THE Bride
of Abydos," and that exquisite song,
the Maid OF Athens" which, says a
Paris contemporary. every English
man of culture knows by heart.
Documents enable US to establish
the true identity of the heroine OF
this last poem. She was one of the
three daughters of Mr.. Black, English
vice-consul at Athens. at whose house
Byron for some time lived. After the
departure of the poet, Theresa Black
married an archaeologist, M. Pittakis,
whose widow she became several
years later. Her beauty, her charm.
her elegance. conquered every heart,
including Byron's. In 1873 the heroine
OF the poem was an old woman OF
upright figure and still showing signs
Of her former beauty. With age had
come poverty. The Times. moved by
her distress. opened at this epoch n
subscription In he' favor. She died
I'm 1875.

spread that he would be shot at the
next engagement. He heard of it.
IL was customary when guns had
been loaded for some time to have
them discharged into some convenient
