NO PLACE FOR MILADY.
Women of Greek Island of Fano For.
hidden to Talk.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
CORFU. August 16.-The little Greek
island of Fano near here has become
known to the entente fleets and armies
as a place where women are forbidden
to talk. The island has normally a
populat tion of 1924 persons but most
of the men are in the United States,
where they work walters.
The custom of the island for many
years has been for the young men to
marry the girls they love best and then,
after brief honeymoon. go to Amer
ica to make their fortunes. returning in
a few years to their brides. During this
period of the absence of the husbands
II has become a custom for the wives,
women traditional for their beauty
never to talk to men. 1t is the business
of the older women to watch over the
young wives, and when strange men
approach. as has happened frequently
since the war. they are met with a
shower of stones.
