Finally. as n further step in shut
fling off the past, the fcz was ordered
into the discard with the harem, the
veil, and polygamy. The usual howl
of "sacrilege.' went up from the
priests and other conservatives, but
a day was set for the casting off OF
this last badge of antiquity.
The Turks made n holiday OF 1t
and on the given day threw away their
fezzes or tore them off the heads Of
those who persisted in wearing them.
There was such a festival as Ameri-
cans indulge in when the straw hat
suddenly becomes an eyesore.
OLD IDOLS FALL
With all this brcathless mania for
freedom in Turkey has come a break
ing Of innumernble idols and the as
sault on many things revered Of old.
The Turkish papacy, the Caliphate,
has been destroyed and banished. The
famous bowling, whirling dervishers
have been forbidden TO spin for the
glory Of Allah.
The old sultan was also called the
slave of his astrologer, and now the
astrologer is an outlaw in Turkey. The
nation that for hundreds of years sub
mitted to the Tyranny of the astrolo-
ger, forebade the sculptor to exist
at all.
The Turkish sacred laws had long
forbidden the making Of statuary on
the ground that man was made in
Gods image and God had forbidden
the making OF images Of Himself,
which, logically enough, forbade the
making of the similar images of men.
The same harror of sculpture obtain
ed in ancient Israel, and was revived
in Christendom for centuries, until the
revoking Of the law brought about the
glorious awakening Of the Renaissance,
and the flooding of Christian churches
with images and paintings of every
sort.
In Turkey the edicts against sculp-
ture have just been removed and we
shall soon see a Turkish art flourish
ing with all the splendor of early
Christian art. But for the present,
sculpture is as dead in Turkey as it
was SO long in Christendom. The
Christians had to learn to draw and
carve all over again and that explains
the pathetic crudities of many primi-
tive geniuses like Giotto, Cimabue and
the rest.
STATUE is IMPORTED.
So the Turks demanding statues in
hurry must needs import them. And
their George Washington, Kennel
Pasha, has had to entrust his image
to an American sculptor just as George
Washington's portrait had to be en-
trusted to painters and sculptors from
overseas.
The heroism of Turkey will find its
memorials henceforth, but, better yet,
the beauty of Turkish women will be
released from its ancient doom. For
centuries doltish men in the name OF

Rise of Fair Sex in the West Has
Nothing to-Gompare With 1t,
Decl@kes Writer.
BY RUPERT HUGHES

A sTOUNDING in a weak word for
"A the series of revolutions that have
taken place in the whole life of women
in America and Europe. But what
word il there to express the far more
dumfounding revolutions that have al
tered the ancient customs of Oriental
women and brought them alongside
American women almost overnight?
The pioneer life Of America CON-
PEELED or permitted American women
a partnership in the hardships and
freedoms of American men. They very
gradually attained to their present po-
litical equality. 1t is n hundred and
five years since Susan B. Anthony
was born and 70 years since the night
when she rose to speak at a meeting
of the Sons Of Temperance, was told
by the mossbound chairman that "the
sisters were not invited there to speak
but to listen and learn" and marched
out Of the hall with several other bold
and abandoned females.
She grew so shameless then as to
bob her hair and for a time put on
the garments devised by Mrs. Bloomer.
The gallant gentlemen of those good
old times when men revered women"
promptly mobbed all females who ap-
pcared on the streets in the indecent
raiment and preachers ordered them
out of the churches just as women
pilgrims to Rome have been ordered
out for barring their arms or revealing
their ankles.
ONLY 65 YEARS AGO.
II Is 65 years since Susan j. An
thony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton
drove moral people almost to apo
plexy by their unspeakably infamous
demand for the vote. 1t is SO years
since Mrs. Anthony was properly ar
rested, tried and found guilty by q
jury, for the vile, the shameless Of
Tense Of walking into voting place
and casting ballot.
She was so incorrigibly bent on
minding her one business Of securing
the vote that she refused to approve
a set of resolutions beginning ave
believe in God" and another denounc-
ing prize fighting.
1t is nineteen years since the old
Jezebel, who had withstood the abuse
Of all nice people for most of her life
of Sc years, died in an aureole OF
reverence, murmuring:
These have been wonderful years.
At the height Of Susan BIS battle
for the unheard-of rights that hardly
anyone disputes today, the American
woman was far behind the privileges
enjoyed by the women Of Egypt in
the year 1000 B. c.
But long after Susan BIS death the
good women Of Egypt still wore the
veil well over their faces, peered at
tho world through iron grills, and, II
they had to 90 out on the street, COW
cred their clothes with shapeless black
cloaks.

BORROWERS" TAKE
81 LOAN BY FORCE

ANTIOCH, Cal, Jan. Pc. f.
Reynolds is bemoaning the loss Of 81,
not because Of its value, but because
of the manner in which two bold young
men took it from him.
Reynolds is employed as a tractor
hand on the Maltby estate near Con-
cord, where a night force is employed
during this season 70 rush blowing Of
hundreds Of acres of grain land. Two
motorists hailed Reynolds at night
and asked the way to Stockton. Then
one tried to borrow 81 from him.
When Reynolds refused the two men
beat him an went through his pockets
taking 81 in change.

unwillingncss to play fair with the
Turks, or even to reveal the mini
mum of truth that self respect should
compel one to tell about an enemy.
REAL HYPOCRISY.
The newspapers. magazines, books,
forums and pulpits Of our world were
simply deluged with wildly exaggcr-
ated lies about the atrocities commit
ted by the Turks. Yet when the
Turks put forth proofs of wild dis
tortion and injustice and proofs that
far worse atrocities were committed
against them first, and when they
supported their charges with the tcs-
timony of Christian witnesses, not n
line could they get printed. They
could not even get their side of the

oldfashioned Turks to whom as TO us
still, the word "barefaced" stood for
everything shameless.
To the Turks as to the Spaniards, a
woman's hair is more sensational than
her face. The Spanish women were
long ago forbidden to 20 10 church
barcheaded. Hence, since they had no
love for hats, they devised the lace
scarf, the mantilla which has since
been almost a uniform.
Some years ago when the yashmak
or veil was universal in Turkey, there
was downright horror Of exposing the
hair. A delicate minded Turkish wom-
an who accidentally encountered a
strange man when her veil was off,
would blush, scream, faint and weep
for hours over the shame OF it. But il
a strange man caught sight Of her
hair, she would be so shocked and de-
graded that she would probably COM
nit suicide.
NOW RIDING BREECHES!
And now Turkish women are not
only barefaced they have not only
taken to wearing French hats on the
streets, but they have taken up tennis
in short skirts and swimming in bath
ing suits! LATTE Hanoum goes about
in riding breeches!
Last July there was actually a
swimming race for girls before a mixed
throng of spectators. Think Of 1t,
the Turkish woman who once enjoyed
all the protection of the harem, such
devoted care from her father or her
husband that il she stuck her head
out of the window he would cut 1t
off for her, such chivalrous respect
that he made her home penitentiary
the Turkish woman is now so far
neglected and despised that she is al
lowed to go out on the street shopping
like an ordinary American woman, she
is permitted to go into business, poll
tics and even battle together as they
have done IN this country for only half
a century.
The old fashioned Turk was permit
ted four wives on earth and crowd OF
hours in paradise, but polygamy grew
too expensive some time ago to be
practiced and now one wife at time
is the legal limit.
LATHE Hanoum advocated a law
compelling bachelors to marry, but 1t
did not pass. For in Turkey as else
where, it is now the male who is fight
ing for life. liberty and equality.
The Turkish women beat the men
to dress reform. If the veil was uni
versal for the women, the fez was uni
versal for the men. In the course of
time it had acquired a positively reli-
gious value. A Turk who wore hat
would have had his head chopped off.
The Turkish Army and Navy found
it useful to adopt the visored caps of
the Europeans. The police followed,
and the students took up hats as a
fantastic novelty.

The American admiral, Hugh L.
Bristol, who has been for seven years
the high commissioner of the. United
States in Turkey, came home on leave
a month or two ago and testified
that mistaken conceptions Of the
Turkish character were to blame for
many disasters. He spoke particularly
of the change in the attitude toward
women and prophesied a speedy re-
vision of laws that would place mar
riage there on the same footing as in
Occidental nations.

Shattering Of An Old Ideal

Instead of this, he, it is said,
sought the nearest spot OF dry land,
and turned those erring believers in
the majesty of Cupid, over to a po-
liceman, on the charge Of having OF
Tended his sense of correct behavior.
Upon their promising not so to offend
again, the couple, it seems, were re-
leased.
IDEAL SHATTERED.
That a kiss may not be bestowed
upon the lips of willing maiden in a
Venitian gondola, come to me as
surprise. / had known that such in
diligence in q moving automobile was
contrary TO our own police regula-
tons, but had supposed this ban was
for the purpose Of insuring the par
Elephants, and others, against smash
ups.
Surely it cannot be supposed that
the mere sight Of kiss would so up
set an italian gondolier rs to cause
collision between his own and some
other craft The whole matter looks
to me like IN insidious attempt in all
bparts of the world to rob the kiss OF
such additional SAVIOR as it may gain
through spontaneous, and therefore,
unexpected bestowals.
TUNNELS NOW RUINED.

Of railroads and electric illumination
OF railroad cars. many an old tunnel

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-1f you were,
~ or expect to be, most impressed
by the Eiffel Tower as typical of the
wonders of the French capital, you
will of course not allow it to be
sighted by any fashionable mcdiste or
plain American dress-maker whose SER
vices you may be called upon to en-
ploy.
You will not, or should not, permit
pleasant memories of the Pare du
Monceau or the Place de LOpera so
TO influence either of those persons
that the towering construction OF
Alexandra Gustave is dimmed to view
by shadows from your dropping arms,
while lifelike views of the Place de
La Republique or Rue Rivoli proclaim
their beauty from the front Of your
apparel.
If all of the above has merely an
enigmatic sound to any woman read

1t may already have reached other

"HUMOR" is RIGHT.
"This is a dynamic age" said the
engraved card that called my atten-
ton to the matter. AN age in which
it is possible for noted artists to
achieve new Interpretation Of the Mod
ern Mode for the fashionable Mod
ern Woman and in the fabric "My

ern humor for which a distinguished
artist is famous, has been expressed.
/ think use of the word "humor"
in the card, was an error of business
judgment, because it is hard to con-
ceive of many being willing to pay
$3.50 a yard for material merely to
obtain a comic appearance-still you

busscs that have a rather caterpilier-
ish appearance, the streets of Paris
are portrayed in no spirit Of levity.
FABRIC is GRAY.
The general tone of the fabric is
gray or drab that being hue in which
the buildings are depicted. The streets
upon which they converge are a dull
white. A section of the River Seine
depicted in a blueish green winds
around at the left, and that Is also
the tint given to couple Of small
parks (neither of which could by any
possibility be taken for the Bots de
Boulogne) which adorne the picture.
A tinge of purple is impaired to the
picture through trees whose foliage
is of that hue.
Forty inches is the width Of this
amazing product of the silk mill, and
across this width the views of Paris
arise to a height Of "a inches.
1t naturally would depend upon
her height to know how many one

views Of "Gay Paree," a girl could
represent across her front or back TO
the delight and edification of all be-
holders. A really, tall woman could
certainly carry about one more Eiffel
Tower than could a short one, and
Paris would seem to abound in more
lovely little parks upon the gown OF
a stout matron, than could be reflect
ed from the scintilating person al
most of any society debutante.
PEOPLE SHOWN.
But no matter how slim or short
be the wearer of one of these My

n visible abundance of tiny French
folk each about an inch high, strolling
the streets; gay blades in high hats
and damoselles with eolored parasols

would be present to prevent Loneliness
on the part Of either.

are to man the "safe planes for plain
people" which Mr.. Ford is preparing
to turn loose upon n speed-crazed
world. Horrible indeed to think of,
if the sudden dart cheek-ward OF a
masculine nose, no matter how great
the temptation, should lead to fatal
"nose-dive" on the part of the ma
chine!
And here before we leave this oscu-
latory subject, 1 cannot resist the
temptation of asking some gray
haired or scanty-locked reader wheth-
er in this age Of swiftness there is not
something romanticly interesting that
can be said Of the livery horse and
buggy and the leafy roads of long
ago? How many miles from home
was it? And was ii on the way out
or on the way back that you bestowed
that first kiss upon the fair cheek of
Imogene or Eliza on that lovely au-
tumn day?

There lot of queer features to the fight In the first
