THE TURKISH WOMANS
DAY IN 4 HAREM is FULL
OF MISERABLE MONOTONY
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

, and who will report on how We have
spent the time.
The carriage rumbles on at the full
speed OF two splendid horses. We must
not stop and get out: that would be quite
Incorrect. And we envy the beggar wom-
en- who are free, and who look at Us es
| they pass.
Presently, at the entrance to the ba-
zaar. there is a crowd of common folk
buying roast chestnuts. I am so hungry
says one. Have you brought any money!
No. Dilaver has some. Dilaver, buy
US some chestnuts.'
What can they be put into? We hold
| out our scented handkerchIefs; the chest
nuts are handed to us In these and smell
! Of heliotrOpe. And this is the great event
of the day, this luncheon, which it amuses
US to eat like the common women, but
| under our wells in a closed carriage.
"On our return We embrace again at
parting
Then Evening Fails.
THE visitor leaves. 1t is evening; lamps
| are lighted very early, for night soon
| falls in harem in consequence OF the
| close lattices to the windows
But here comes the hey, her master,
| announced by the cIatter Of his sword
on the stairs. Then the poor little
woman's soul is more chilled than ever.
AS a matter of habit she looks IN q
glass; the reflected image is really very
pretty, and she thinks: All this beauty
for him! What pity!
He, stretching himself insolentty on
pile Of cushions, begins a history:
To-day, you know, my dear, at the
palace
"Oh, yes. the palace, his felIow-ofl-
GERS. his guns new weapons-these are
all he cares for; nothing else, ever.
"She does not listen; she is ready to
cry. Then she is told she is out Of
sorts She asks leave to withdraw to
her own room. and soon she is sobbing
bitterly, her head on a pillow of silk
brocaded with gold and silver, while the
European ladies of Pera are going to a
ball or to the theater, and are gay and
admired under a blaze of lights
After such a picture OF atrophying
rOthingness. the American woman who
runs the gamut Of license in her pursuit
Of liberty seems an enviable being. The
woman OF the harem is shriveling away
and dying while yet alive; II she IS edu-
Gated and accomplished enough to realize
her position. tn, dying process Is pain
full; II she is ignorant It Is one Of
torpor.
Abolish All Slavery.
Every form Of slavery which woman
endures in the world to-day must be
abolished; the slave Of the harem. the
slave Of the factory and sweatshop and
mill. the slave Of convention. the slave
Of greed-an must break their chains
and go free before the human race can
rise to its full stature.
Women must come forth unveiled and
unafraId to look men IN the eyes; and
men must learn to think Of women as
friends. comrades, lovers, wives, and
mothersequals IN Gods sight
Competition between the sexes-that
monstrous and unnatural growth on the
face of civflization-must be removed by
the X-ray Of universal love.

SENATE GOING TO QUIT
Special to The Star.

Special to The Star.
Little Rock, June To-day the
Senate practically put an end to the
present extraordinary session by
adopting a resolution that after
Thursday noon it would not consid-
er any bills.
Unless this action is rescinded it
means the close Of the session, for
while the House may not wish to
concur in a resolution to adjourn at
that time, it would be folly for it to
remain in session and act upon any
legislation knowing that its bills
would not be considered by the Up
per House.
The House today declined to con-
slider a resolution to adjourn Sat-
urday, but the action OF the Senate,
if insisted upon, leaves the House
helpless to do ANYTHING but ad-
journ.

ARKANSAS SENATE
SPLIT WIDE OPEN
Following Another Thrce-Day Ad-
j0urnment Is Real Insurgents Meet
and Place Jacobsen in Chair
Will Try TO DO business Now.
Special Telegram to The Star.

Little Rock, June 1.-THE real
trouble actually started right in the
state Senate today, and it promises
a real fight between the senators
who are fighting Governor Dona-
ghey and those who are standing by
the administration.
After passing a revenue bill SINH
lar to the one it passed during the
regular session, the Senate took an
other of its full three-day adjourn
ments. This recess until Saturday
morning was not taken, however,
until resolution had been passed
and sent to the House calling for a
sine die adjournment Saturday.
The sentiment has been growing
little stronger against this sort of
tactics, which is against The desire
of the administration and against
the will of a large majority Of ear
nest workers in the House. Today
it grew so strong that, following the
adjournment until Saturday, fifteen
senator's, resenting what they term
the dictations of Speaker Toney,
met in the Senate chamber and or
ganized by placing Senator Jacobsen
in the chair. Following this they
voted to recall from the House the
resolution for adjournment Satur-
day, and then adjourned until to-
morrow morning, when they hope
to win over enough of the Toney-
Covington followers to give them a
quorum for the transaction of busi-
ness.
The insurgent senators are Jacob
sen, CarlLee, Miles, Wood, Holt,
Fletcher, Deaton, Green, Turner,
Owens, Phillips, Dill, Oldham, john
son and Christman.
There are thirty-nve senators in
all, which will make it necessary for
three more to come into the insur-
gent ranks in order to give them
| working majority tomorrow.
