most unusual personality who

life. into the niece of Canada's former
Premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, protegee
of powerful Lord Strathcons, and who
has done what no other white woman
before her dared do, lived for four
years in the sersglio Of the Sultan Of
Java.
White women have lived in Turkish
harems, but then they were burdened
with the duties and privileges of a
wife. Mile. Gauthier lived in this Java
nese seraglio with full liberty to do
Just as she chose. No restraints and
no fearsome overload bound her. What
she chose to do was to study the music
of the country, and she has returned
with examples of melodies that have
never before been taken out of Sultans'
courts.
While travelling about on concert
tour she found in Java an unknown
store Of tonal beauty awaiting her.

Seraglio Life Differs from Turkish

Life in Javanese seraglio is utterly
different from that of a Turkish harem.
There are none of the fearsome re-

the wives may work, but they may
keep their own earnings. No eunuchs
guard them, and they may come and go
as they choose. This, of course, eased
the condition of Mile. Gauthier enor-
