TATTOOED
LADIES

THE custom OF tattooing the
= body is common to almost all
primitive tribes But usually the
custom is limited to the male
members.
Among the Feliaheen of Egypt
the women tattoo their bodies, too.
IT is part of an elaborate system
OF decoration. They blacken their
eyeIids with anthony and decor
ate their bodies with paint, as
well as the tattooing. The hair
is braided and bound, some Of
the braids covering the sides Of
the head and the rest hanging
freely down the back. Golden pins
and combs fringed with rows of
ducats, tiny bells and gold flakes
fasten the hair. Cords of silk,
decorated with spangIes and gold
coins, tie the ends of the tresses.
A loose white robe, extending
from the shoulders 70 the feet,
is the chief article Of clothing;
but the effect Of the whole is most
decorative and elaborate.
The harem Is still an essential
part of life among the. Fellaheen.
Polygamy is allowed and divorce
is very easy. But the women in
their. harenns do not live lives of
slavery nor of Incidence. They
have their duties and they have
their pleasures. 1t is true that
they can only walk abroad when
they are yelled or under canopy,
but they have great wide court
yards in which they can parade
at will.
They have the household work
IN do. the cooking, washing and
sewing. During the morning they
call on each other. talk, sing,
smoke and drink coffee. Their
lives are pleasant, IL they are un-
eventful
Marriage is still a matter OF
parenta. arrangement to great
extent. The boys are usually
about Is or Is when they get
married. and the girls from II to
IA. Even though the bride and
groom never see each other until
lust before the ceremony that Is
to unite them. they have the
privilege then of calling off the
entire match.
The father of the groom pre-
sents the father of the bride with
a sum of money at the time OF
marriage, but the money is
used to furnish the BRIDES trouS-
seau, so that there is no question
of marriage by purchase.
Altogether il is doubtful whether
the women of the Feliaheen feel
that they are much abused by the
restrictions placed upon them.
