The n oman ia fsIn,u

At recent meeting of the German
lslamic Society in Berlin several rep
resentatlvcs OF Mahomctanism lccturcd
on "Thc Woman in lslam,' in which
they cndeaVorcd TO correct some Pre-
Val!lnS errors, especially in regard 10
inc lsiamlc woman problem. "As
Christianity in tho Occidont, so it was
islam in the Orient which first gave
woman equal rights" declared the FIRST
speaker, Dr.. Achmcd Waly, OF Egypt.
ut is not true that the Mahometans
marry several women in obedience to
the teachings Of the Koran"
In fact, the only passage in the
Koran that refers to this subject-thc
third verse of the fourth Sura--reads: :
And If yc are apprehensivc that We
snail not deal fairly with orphans, then
OF other women who seem good Il your
eyes marry but two, or three, or four:
and if yc still feel that ye shall not
act cqultably then one only"
Since at the time of Mahomet the
Arabians were allowed to marry as
many wives as they pleased, this pas
sage, instead of being an encourage
meht OF polygamy, must be Interpreted
rather as diplomatic Recommendation
Oh monogamy, on account of the dini

Voinptuarlcs marry more than on. wife
and their conduct is blamed bv al,
sooer men. Men Of sense, indeed. think
'hc privilege rather troublesome than
convenient.
II is also said that the Mahomctan
casts off bis wife like an old parmc,t
NOW. the Koran provides for four d;-
'o'ees with intermediate intervals be-
'"ee" cach, that arc to serve the at
'enlpts at reconciliation. Such are tho
teachings Of Islam. SO also veil;nc !.
custom which originated in the times

women and those with facial defects

Islam WAS in its decline. All the So
c'uslon and keeping in Ignorance of
'he women, especially of those OF tho
! middle classes and of higher rank in
Egypt Of to-day, is not religion hut
custom, and for the greater mart tbe
iault Of the foreign rule.
Inc wv" other speakers, the brothers
DJanar and Sattor Khciri, Moslems Of

years travelled over Europe with omen

a Cornish handbook recently pub

distinct varieties of fairies in Cornwall
and enumerates them as follows:
The "Small People" who were sup
posed to be the pre- Christian in
habitants; these are gradually fading

The "Spriggans," attached to cairns

The "Piskies," full OF mischief and
finding great JOY in leading mortals

from the East, doomed to work under.

The Brownies" kindly and good, the
spirits of the household, ever ready to

There are numerous legends of the
adventures OF mortals with these
fairies and only few years ago men
returning from Rcdruth, Truro, Penz-

turn their coats inside out before ven
turing to cross the Wild moors or

Once a miner, working in one of the

What method asked, will then

poincar9 replied quickly: The
method which permits one TO reflect

snd come to clear and precise solu-
tons-thc method in which America
herself shows US an example.
"Sce what happened at Cannes. The
suggestion WAS rapidly made one morn

international conference at Genoa for
tho purpose Of discussing the cconom'

Italy, too; Belgium, also. One country
alone decided to take time to reflect

at has now been rejecting three
weeks, consulting and weighing the
good and bad Of this proposition. Amer
ica is right, and can't praise it enough
for so doing. But where America,
which is not directly concerned, took
three weeks to consider, could not
France, which is directly concerned,
take three or four days.
Writing Less Theatrical
written converse lions arc perhaps
less theatrical than verbal talks in
hotel or salon. but they are infinitely
more profitable and useful. They al
low every one to state his thoughts
clearly, ask advice and reflect. In the
last two years America has convcrscd
in writing with Europe, and it is no
worse for that. Besides, the place Of a
Prime Minister is not at summer re-
sort; it is in his cabinet, at the head Of
his government.
During the two years OF travelling
here and there which we have just
done the Treaty Of Versailles has been
going to pieces bit by bit. Each cxcur-
sion is witnessed by the piece it left
behind. Behind US we have an cnor-
nous heap Of protocols, collective dec
larations, faded papers, torn letters
and abolished clauses. But what have
We in front of US? A mist of clouds
and darkness"
Thus spoke Premier Poincare, who
