women of society and the stage in France and Eng

for something diferent-for the mysterious secrecy,

Oriental harem.
Through Ben Ali Hassan made the acquaint-

formerly held high position among his co-region-
lists and had now fallen to be companion Of brig

and in return for $500 he agreed to introduce me
into of the most attractive harems in the city.

iron-barred windows, in distant part of the city.

brilliantly colored cushions, she motioned me to
place beside her with bewitchingly voluptuous
smile that set my blood on fire.

and key, able to communicate with the outside
world freely, to almost any man she pleased and
to defy her savage lord and master in many ways.
