OF which even now are in dispute
1T is one OF the most interest
ing of all European countries.
Here tribes that are shut off
from the rest of the world by
mountains still preserve their in
dependence and the peculiar GUS
toms that have been theirs for
rhuusands Of years. Tribal blood
feuds and curious habits of
thought and action flourish in the
same way they did during the
Middle Ages and even earlier.
The stage of civilization of a
people is clearly indicated by the
estimation in which they hold
women.
Perhaps no other custom more
clearly shows the way women are
viewed IN Albania than a curious
custom Of silence imposed on a
bride. All the other women of the
house or the village may speak to
a man when they wish, but the
bride must never speak until she
is spoken to.

Gazing upon the diners the eye

general talk. She speaks only
when someone speaks to her.
When the others finish their
meal and rise from the table she
is among the first to spring to

are formed indoors or outdoors,
this young woman is the last 10
