The domestic arrangements OF the
sultan are entirely different from
those of his subjects. Most Turks
have one wife; the sultan has no
recognized sultana. Turks Of high
rank marry into their W class; the
sultan forms unions with women of
slave origin. The ordinary nan may
not look upon an unveiled woman e
cept she be his relation or servant;
the sultan has the right to talk with
any woman in the land face to face.
Turks of position model their house

plan; the sultan's household is orien-
tai.
That does not mean that in the i'm
perial palace you would find women
slipping sherbet or smoking narghilehs
