MARRIAGE IN TURKEY
Influence Of Progressive Women Ex-
 erted To Correct Abuses

crted To COrrect Abuses
 The passive and powerless posi- marriage and divorce is wedly known in other countries" observed Nessihe Muheddin Hanum, president of the Turkish women's party.
 Until very recently our marriages were made entirely by the parents. Our young people not only had no choice in the matter. but were not even given an opportunity to become acquainted before marriage. We have already advanced to the point where the bride and groom are given the opportunity to become acquainted. and to exercise a personal choice in this all important matter.
 T cannot go into this subject in detail, but honesty compels us to ad- init that since this reform we have had fewer marriages and more di- vorces than before. It is an odd caprice of circumstances.
 But the divorce question is more important and more difficult to solve than the marriage question. Custom and law have gradually changed our status from that guaranteed by the early commands of our religion. The laws of the Koran have been inter- preted and modified constantly to the disadvantage of women. The latter have been gradually deprived of their
 
 entirely bereft of them.
 ''The causes for divorce that used to be required are no longer insisted upon, and men may divorce their wives at their own caprice. One of our principal aims Is to change this We do not seek to abolish divorce but to give women the same rights as men in regard to such separations
 We insist that divorce shall nc longer be legal by the private and arbitrary act of the husband, but shall be granted only by a judicial tribunal after a regular trial
 Let me explain that even today a Turk can divorce his wife for any reason he desires without regard to her wishes or protests by merely de- claring his intention before two wit nesses. The wife has no recourse even a claim for alimony."-Josef Hans Lazar in the Neue Freie Presse whatsoever in the matter, and not (Vienna.)

However every sup isct on the order of business was called as usual and there was niucn ] interest displayed in all matters coming up. Some or the Iine brass hand and progress was re- ..Dorted and much encouragement e1- nressed by all. It Is hoped that the nlans will show some degree or ma turity by time of the next neelins' . afterNwhich all those who are 10 pe- come members of the band will know tba f,1ll roster and be in position 10 learn of. something definite.

Committee which has had in hano the matter of ordering several adol- .4tional costumes Tor the qesree baan reported that these have peen s ordered and it is expected they Will he received in ample time for use on next degree night, which VIII pc the second Monday night in Novem- her. These costumes are to equlp tba colonial soldiers in the American scenes and. lessons of the ritual ana are historically correct in all re- spects.

It is proposed that the dues of s1 a month be changed to 20 cents a week. This is a slight increase, but it enables a larger weekly SICK benefit to be paid, and survey or the 3.OOO councils of the order shows that the percentage of suspensions | for non-payment of dues is far less a in those councils upon weekly basis than those upon monthly or quar- terly basis. This is accounted for bv the fact that member attending meetings has always the small sum for a week or two weeks dues, which he pays whereas upon the monthly and quarterly system the greater sum is an item which is not always convenient and so before one really realizes it the dues account has mounted.
 Many complimentary things are heinz said of the new uniform sys- tenn of constitution and bylaws by councils over the state. Practically every eventuality is cared for and when they are in the hands of all members of the order in the state 1t is expected that many of the matters that have proved a hindrance in the past will be among the things that were and that an era of progress ana benefit unrealized heretofore will be inaugurated.
