NINE. HusEIN, WIFE OF TURKISH DIPLOMAT

my husband has not been there Tor
twenty years. And you wanted to
hear about the Turkish womenf What
a shame that can't tell you I've
heard d great deal about my husbands
countrywomen, however. And natural
ly know many Of the customs OF the
land. Hussein Bey. though he seldom
goes back home. is quite familiar with
the happenings in his own country.
rs your husband q member Of the
Progressive party Of Young Turks?"
well, / just won't say that he is
not progressive" and Nine. Hussein
smiled evasively, but he Is necessar-
lily passive. A diplomat must be so.
There is feminist movement In Tur-
key, just as there is here, but some
how l don't think 1t will ever accom-
plish very much. In fact. my husband
says that he doesn't believe the time
will ever come when the women OF
the country will even 60 with their
faces uncovered in public. 1t Is not
so much a custom of the country as
it is q religion for woman to be
modest to this degree.
"You know that a Turkish lady is
never allowed to entertain any mar
riageable men. BY that l mean that II
she has a dinner party for her near
relatives the only man guests must
be those so closely connected that
marriage with them would be impos-
sible. Marriages are all arranged by
the parents. At fourteen girl takes
the veil and then she is old enough to
marry.
AT what age do you think your 1T
tie girl should marry?" was asked.
Not under twenty-five" was tho
quick reply, In fact, believe that
a woman isn't sure whom she wants
until she is half way along in the
thirties."
Nine. Hussein explained that Turk
may marry a Christian. but Turkish
lady may not mary Christian gentle
man. And the distinction? 1t Is be-
cause the children always take the re-
ligion of their father, and 1t Is desir-

1t was time to leave and the inter-
viewer gathered up her purse and
parasol. A little sigh escaped her.
She had expected to greet madame in
a dimly lighted apartment, 'carpeted In
heavy oriental rugs and hung with
faded old tapestries. She had tmag'
ined ornaments unusual in shape and
color. deep-cushioned divans, incense
burning fragrantly in darkly draped
corners of the darwing-room, soft
footed maid servants and man serv'

blouse, with tiny red fez hanging on
the back Of his head-all this to com.

old Turkey. But the big sunshiny
room, with It's comfortable chairs and
books and thin white curtains swaying
in the breeze hadn't bit Of mystery
about it. mot one Turkish thrill and

mistress Of this cozy aprtment,~ unused
the interviewer as she came out into
the tree bordered street. Queer, the
difference between imagination and
reality, isn't it?'

Says Christianity Is

That Christianity must take frm
hold On China before that country can
be managed by a strong free govern
ment was the Keynote Of lecture de-
livered by President Emeritus OF Har-
ward University Charles w. Eliot. un-
der the auspices of the National Geo

ple last night. How to Establish a
strong Government in China" was the
subject.
"China will need as long as we did
after the revolutionary war;" said DR..
Elicit, ito establish a national govern
ment. and 1t took us thirteen years,
from 1776 to 17ss."
Dr. Eliot referred to the attitude OF
the American Government In China.
and declared that the United States
had always refused to make claims for
concessions on Chinese soil He said
this country only wanted one thing in
China, and that was the 'open door"
This policy will ultimately be adopted.
DR.. Eliot said. by the other six powers
who arc now encamped on China's ter
ritory, as they will soon realize how
much more secure for them the open
door, for all China would be as against
a country divided in six distinct spheres
of influence which would minimize the
activities Of all interested.
