excitement. Here was bet not to
be overlooked. A short cut to favor
with the princess might be found
through a stand in with her physi-
clan. The hospitality of the colony
was extended to the distinguished
stranger. Intrigue piled upon in
trigue to snare him for dinner par
ties. lie was showered with atten-
tions and champagne. He seemed to
like it and the colony liked him. His
manners were perfect, his conversa-
tion sprghtly. his company entertain-
ing, but on the subject of the princess
he maintained a discreet silence.
Then suddenly his popularity blew
up with a bang. There were no more
dinner parties, no more teas, no more
receptions by the exclusive set of the
American colony. What had happen
ed? The gentleman's manners re-
mained as perfect, his conversation
as sprightly, his company as pleasant
as IL Ildu DtcH DelOIt, Dul ne Suuutuly
went into eclipse. Nine days scandal
occupied the seat of the distinguished
guest at the dinner table.
Only this had happened; Some
body discovered that he wasn't the
princess physician at all, but the
princess barber. As Mrs. Leeds she
had never had any more serious prob
lem about her coiffure than the latest
thing in ear puffs but ss princess
she had had to do her hair to support
tiara. SO she sent TO Paris for o
fashionable hairdresser. That's how
1t came that the American colony dis
covered that instead of an aristocratic
physician to royalty they had been
entertaining a proletarian barber.
It's come to a pretty pass, when
you can't tell the court barber from
the court physician offhand.

A DICKENS OF A TIME
The Turk Women Are Now RcbcllinG
Against Their Former Lords and
Masters and Causing Trouble.

The Turk is having a fierce time
with his women. They won't obey
any longer. They wear the wells on
the backs OF their heads instead of
over their faces. they dress in clothes
designed to reveal the fact they are
women and not meal bags and, horror
of horrors. they flirt with infidel dogs.

but they go right on taking the part
OF ingenues. soubrettes and pretty
heroines just the same. .... .
What with Greece acting the part
of a disagreeable neighbor, the Amer
leans complaining about the cruelty
of his guardianship and the allies get
ting hard boiled with him the poor
old Turk is just naturally worried
most to death. He hasn't any time
to boss his women in the style to
which they have been accustomed.
Whereas he used to be glad to take
on from two to dozen wives at a
time he is getting so now that he
can't manage even one. He doesn't
want a wife who is too darned inde-
pendent and he can't get any other
kind.
The result is that he is inclining
more and more to a state of bache-
lorhood, while the women. unable to
capture husbands. keep right on get
ting more Independent. And so it
goes. around and around in a circle.

Things have come to such a pass
that a law is proposed making mar
riage compulsory. Salih Bey, propo-
nent Of the law, says the depopula-
tion OF the country is such that the
Greek and Armenian inhabitants will
soon outnumber the Turks. Direct
action seems to have failed to keep
the Armenians down. They simply
thrive on massacres. II the time ar
rives when they ever outnumber their
oppressors. it's good night Turk. He
had better get busy and take on wives
again regardless of any reservations
about obedience she may make while
the Mohammedan parson is tying the
knot. What he needs right now is
multiplication and not division.
