TURKISH WOMEN. Turkish women are nob shut up. go out when they please, attended by their odaliks if rich, or hold Jrchildren by the hand ; tr pie voices fill the s>aza noisy talkers. Wb«te-t>. men pf all creeds stand aside deiereutlally. 1 If a husband meets his wife in the streets he makes no sign of r ecognition. If he perceives her halting before a draper’s stall and gazed iusigficantly at silks dearer than he can afford, he must possess his soul in resignation, muttering “ Mashalfeh.” This respect for women prevails also in the home' circle, and it comes naturally to the Mussulman, who has been taught from his boyhood to behave courteously to the softer sex. The Western conjugal expression about “ Wearing the breeches” has its Turkish counterpart in the phrase to “ live under the slipper and it is to be feared that not a few Turks know the taste of this implement of exonal persuasion. A hamal (street porter*) once came before a cadi to complain that his wife trounced him too frequently. “ See what mine does,” answered the magistrate, opening his gown and showing some weals on his neck and shoulders. c ‘ Go thy way, my son, and thank Allah thou art luckier than L”—Pall Mall Gazette. wa.’tiJWfwßfraraß
