Only the Sultan Adheres to the Old
Style Oriental lnstitution-Mod-
ern Turk Resorts to Divorce.

The domestic arrangements of the
sultan are entirely different from
those of his subjects. Most Turks
have one wife: the sultan has nc
recognized sultana. Turks Of high
rank marry into their W class; the
sultan forms unions with women OF
slave origin. The ordinary man may
not look upon an unveiled woman ex-
cept she be his relation or servant;
the sultan has the right to talk with
any woman in the lane face to face.
Turks of position model their house
holds more or less on the European
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
or clad in baggy trousers. On the
contrary. you would find them smok-
ing nothing more oriental than a
cigarette, sitting on a European chair
and, yes, wearing corsetst But the
code of morals is entirely different.
says the New York Sun.
The imperial harem is founded on
the old court system of the Byzantine
emperors and has an etiquette and
law Of it's own. The first fact II
must grasp is that the wives or
favorites OF the sultan have no I'm
p~ortance at all. They r nobodies.
The daughter of a Circassian peasant
may be honored by the sultan's favor
and even bear him a child. but yet
be distinguished by no other title
than the commonplace "Kadin Elem
di." Only the mother of the eldest
son receives the royal designation of
sultan" her whole title being "Kaa-
reki sultan"
Her dignity only results from her
being the mother Of a possible heir
to the throne: that is, in the event
that the sultan has no brothers. for
the brothers have the right of prece-

With Entertainment

The Phyllisian Entertainers, the
fourth in the series of the Island
Pond Entertainment Course, was
given Thursday evening and was one
of the prettiest entertainments given
here for some time. The harp selec-
tions rendered by Miss Phyllis Ham
mond were remarkable and beauti-
full and the applause she received
certainly testified to the satisfaction
she gave. Miss Area Farron, reader,
gave great satisfaction and delighted
the audience by her readings which
were of high order and artistically
rendered. The sketch, "The Charac-
ter Artist" by the two young ladies,
greatly pleased the audience and
created much merriment. Many
are the expressions of pleasure heard
from all who attended. The last
in the course will be given
March IL, when Peter Mcqueen, who
is not an entire stranger here, will
appear, and a fine entertainment is
looked forward to.

IN PLUM VALLEY
Play of Base Ball Assn
Tuesday Evening
a Success

The Baseball Assn. presented their
second play this season to an unusu.
ally large audience last Tuesday even
ing in the Opera House. That their
efforts were appreciated was attested
from the time the curtain went up in
the first act till the very end, by the
evident enjoyment of all present.
The play itself was far superior to
the ordinary plays obtainable by
amatuers, and its clean, wholesome
comedy and satire, its hearty humor
and action justifiedits choice.
While the house was being filled,
Dyer's Orchestra played an overture
and rendered several excellent Sc
lections later.
G. w. Withrow as "Uncle jared,
played the long and exacting role
with discrimination and feeling.
His portrayal of down-east farmer
was excellent.
w. A. Gleeson, always a good
actor, found opportunity IN the part
of Hugh Elkins," the william.
There was always some action certain
when this crafty schemer appeared,
and it was unusually we'll done.
Maynard Stevens who played the
part of "Stouter, "& who couldn't
stand the high altitude, was a most
realistic impersonation. His acting,
never overdone, was always up to
the mark, and showed much natural
ability, as well ,as a careful prepa-
ration.
Adelard Payeur, as "Scotty,'' was
especially clever in his represen-
tationof country rustic, and Everett
Williams as the cons table looked and
acted the part to perfection.
Gertrude Norton, as Hazel"
Uncle Jared's daughter, was sweet
and attractive little maid who won
much commentator. Her acting
in the second act where her lover was
arrested, was especially good.
Dorothy LaRoche as Sally" made
a great deal out of her part, evok-
much mirth at her pert sayings and
clever activity.
Mrs. VIM. Smith as aunt
Lucinda, rendered the part in high
class style, her sweet ways and de-
lightul makeup winning much favor
with the audience.
Mildred Foss as "Grace Stollard,"
seemee equally capable, and much
interest centered around lher acting
which was of high order.
All in all, the play, with its actors
seem to have given universal salts
faction. After the first act Miss
Norton sang Goodbye Rose" very
prettily and after the End act Ade-
lard Payeur showed he has a good
voice by singing, That's how ] need
you" After the 3rd act, Mr..
Johnston gave monalogue.
Immediately following s.the show
dancing was INDUCED in until "a late
hour.
About sixty dollars was cleared by
the Association, and this, with that
made on the play of. two months ago,
will give them generous sum to
defray the expenses of the team
next summer.
