Are Being Made From

on arrangements.
The committee will make every ef.
fort 10 accommodate all who wish to
attend, but has been handicapped by
being obliged TO engage a smaller din
ing room than first planned. To avoid
mistakes, all reservations, accompan-
led with check for the number Of
tickets required, should be In the
hands OF the committee by Friday,
Jan. 3.
Efforts will be made to see that
those who are unable to secure dinner
tickets can at least hear the speeches.
No special invitations have been is-
sued and everyone believing in the
Woodrow Wilson democracy will be
welcome. The tickets are one dollar
each, and anyone can purchase them
from any member OF the committee.

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 no
recognized suItana. Turks Of high
rank marry into their own 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 land face to face.
Turks Of position model their house

plan; the sultan's household Is orien-

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 corsetsl 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 its own. The first fact one
must grasp is that the wives or
favorites OF the sultan have no in
portance at all. They are nobedies.
The daughter OF a Circassian peasant
may be honored by the sultan's favor
and even bear him child. but vet

Her dignity only results from her
being the mother OF q possible heir
to the throne: that is, IN the event
that the sultan has no brothers. for
