worse is the existence of the "purdah
nashin' lady, she, who may perhaps never
leave her own apartments, or, if so,
heavily vciled from head to foot!
The "purdah" woman has no recrea-
tions, save those of gossip, needleworR,
intrigue and the care of her children. She
must always show a cheerful face to her
lord and master or she is severely pun
ished. To women who have known no
other world, this secluded life of triviality
may be Cndurable, hut to a free, indie
pendent woman of the West, ca one
imagine a more awful slavery?
If white woman loses her head over a
native there are ten chances to one that
he is an Afghan, for the men of that race
seem to exercise a fatal fascination over
white girls. During the war many young
women from small, secluded English vii
lages met these tall, olive-skinned men
and became victims to their strange
charm. There arc in Afghanistan to-day
hundreds of white women, legally mar
ried to their Mohammedan lords, whom
no law on earth can rescue and who will
therefore live as native women until they
forget the land and traditions they have
left and will adopt the humble outlook of
the Afghan woman with patient resigna-
ton.
"How can | describe to you," said
missionary'S wife in Quetta, "the squalor,
the friction, the sordidness that faces the
woman who resigns the West in favor of
the East? Their ideas of cleanliness are
not ours, their ideas of honor and truth
and kindness clash with ours at every
point. She will be forced to live with
other women who hate her, native women
with no education, no occupation except
gossip and scandal, women who would not
hesitate to poison an intruder. Her one
duty and object in life will be childbear-
ing and, as woman, and an inferior OBJ
ject, she must ever feel the contempt and
Indifference of her husband, a man prob
ably far lower in intellect and breeding to
herself"
The case of Mrs Daubney, an Ameri-
can girl, fills the entire British community
with horror, pity and interest, and yet
they feel that nothing can be done. Mrs.
Daubney arrived in Quetta from Japan
early last Fall. She is an extremely beau
tiful girl, with exquisite features and
clear brunette coloring She was full of
vivacity and high spirits and was known
to be the "gayest of the gay"
1t soon became known that Mrs Daub-
ney was a wealthy tourist, who had only

native, inconsequential fashion. She also
told, strong minded, sensible woman that
she is, how she exercised her rights as

by their shoulders and showed them out
of the doors.
She described how when the baby was
born, it had to he bathed with detailed
Mohammedan rites and ceremonies, and
how intricate solemnities had to be
performed over the Unh ppy mother
What will be the outcome of this
strange alliance no one can tell. Mrs.
Daubney was presumably married with her
eyes open, for she renounced her claims
as Christian and accepted the Moham-
medan creed. If her divorce from her
former husband was correct and legal. then
her present marriage is binding for life.

There have been many white women
who have married Mohammedans and
their experiences have been very varied

was that of Miss Ola Humphreys, of San

Engllshman. After meeting her once at a
supper in a London hotel, he began To
make love to her in a very ardent and
romantic manner. She was not very
wealthy and the prospect of sharing his
fairy-like palaces doubtless carried her off
her feet. In fact, she fell ip love with
him and married him.
She had no sooner put her foot inside
his palace in Cairo than she found she

Fortunately she was able to persuade
him to take her for a season to his palace
in Paris. He proposed to subject her

soon as possible.
What promises Korban Ali Khan made
to his future wife, nobody knows He
may have been strictly honorable to her
and told her what her life as his wife
would be. But one can hardly believe
that a travelled and cultured American

could be so foolish as to bind herself

QUETTA, Baluchistan

British India), Oct. 30.
TT is known to few white people beyond
the English residents of this town that
Mrs. Frank Daubney, a charming
young American woman, is held against
her will in the harem of an Afghan noble
man.
She married him, fascinated by his pas
sion and picturesquencss, as a good many
white women have done to their sorrow.
Then she found she was a slave, mere
chattel of her lord and master. regarded
as a creature without a complete human
soul-and. worse than that, she was de-
prived of her liberty to an extent she
never dreamed of.
She was. in fact, worse than a slave,
for Mohammcdan slave women are al
lowed 10 walk about in public, but as the
wife of a nobeman of high rank she can
never leave the house except heavily
veiled and in a closed carriage and guard
ed by slaves.
Mrs. Daubncy's unhappy position is
we'll known to some English people in
Quetta, but they are almost afraid to
speak of it for fear of the consequences
In this remote dependency of British
India, on the borders of Afghanistan, in
habited partly by Afghans and partly by
races akin to them, there is constant
smouldering hostility to the white races.
At the present moment this feeling is
particularly menacing. Everybody feels
that he is living on the brink of a volcano.
The Mohammedans are especially resent
full of any interference with their domes-
tic life and customs.
While it is true that native Mohamme
dan women have achieved considerable in
dependence in certain localities, the white
man finds it hard to discover Just what
is allowed and what is fiercely resented.
An attempt to save an American woman
from an Afghan harem might be just the
thing that would start massacre.
Few people realize, even those who live
in the East, how many white women there
are living the terrible, secluded lives of
"purdah women" behind the veil. One
meets here and there a Western woman
married to native, all with that look of
mute misery in their eyes, which tells of
the cold-shouldering, indifference and con-
tempt, or, what is worse, the pity, which
they must ever meet from the men and
women of their own race. But how much

by her through the jealousy of the other
women of the household, who, for the
slightest whim would not be above poison
ing her by mixing ground glass with her
food. Although many Englishwomen have
begged to be allowed to visit the poor girl,
or to have her to their houses, she has re-
fused every invitation because she is not
permitted to go.
The nurse reports that her doors are
heavily guarded and that even when she
walks in the high walled garden, she must
wear the "burka" or the heavy head
covering and yelling of the high class
Mohammedan lady. The accompanying
picture, if seen alone would certainly not
be taken for a portrait of an American
woman, and yet, when Mrs. Daubney
travels from Quetta to Amritsar or takes
the air in her garden, that is how she
appears to-day.
The nurse gave pathetic details of the
hours before the baby was born, how the
women of the household increased the
American woman's sufferings by crowding

gerous for woman to play with. The
young man had asked her to marry him
many times and had tried to point out to
her how very unwise it is for a white
woman in India to mix with natives on
terms of intimacy or even friendliness. But
the American girl just laughed and went
her own way, for she thought that her
nationality would safeguard her in the
East as surely as in the West
About this time Mrs. Daubney met Kor-
ban Ali Khan, an Afghan nobleman,
young, extraordinarily handsome and
picturesque He spoke English fluently,
was we'll educated and was probably very
fascinating to the girl Korban Ali is
rich native, the protege of the ex-Prime
Minister of Khalat, who educated the boy
and still takes a keen interest in him.
The young man, who is a member of the
Indian police, met Mrs. Daubney at one
Of these anti-British meetings and warned
her that the police were on her track and
that she would probably be turned out of
Quetta as a troublesome visitor.

promised she would be
the only wife. Anyway,
in a very short time
Mrs. Daubney became a
vow e d Mohammedan
and, with strict Moham-
medan rites, was made

her according to the
legal code of British
India.

there in the back rooms,
overlooking a h gh-

beautiful American wife.
Whether he treats her
kindly or not, it is al
most impossible for the
white colony to find out,
but they have discovered
that she is closely guard

happy.

"CAVEMAN STUFF" IN CHINA
Ardent Wooer Carried Off the Girl Of

"Lah-bah," or the twelfth moon

riages. Poor people Of the Anhui
province In China can be sure of an
suspicious day without going to the
expense Of consulting the fortune
tellers.
This year in the town of Liuanchow
there was a novel marriage process
sion. A young man of twenty-five
wanted his bride, but her parents are
said to have thought him too poor for
the girl, and demanded a sum Of
money which they thought would end
I'm the match being broken off. Friends
suggested he should abduct the girl
SO OF the suspicious eighth" he and
a few friends went to the girls home,
and they were in such force as to
carry the day. To prevent anything
like lawlessness the bride and groom
were bound together back to back and
the young man was marched off, like
the snail, with his house CHA li-wife
on his back. The girl had protested
she did not want to be his wife, and
apparently sulked, but next day
things were smoothed we by friends.
"But why tie them back to back?"
asked one, "Oh, to stop the girl from
struggling" said a friend of the groom.
