TURKISH WIFE CLAIMS
HER LIFE HAPPIER THAN
THAT OF AMERICANS
Vt ith world interest centering on Turk* comes to ti e public
j th t institution which is dominantly Turkish—The Harem.

portly Turk lolling at ease on a draped divan while a pony

By SOUAD HANIM
• xE w YORK, Sept. 26.—Since the |
oulbreak of hostilities between the |
Greeks and the Turks in Asia Minor,
America i again being flooded with
ta l' es o f the horrors of the Turkish
Wen). u m 1
Some of them may be true. Most ,
lies.
TSe cruel and brutal husband is
not unknown in Turkey - nor is
be unknown in America, as witness
the record' of the American divorce
courts.
I have found many popular mis
eoticepticns in America of the life
of the Turkish married woman. *
To the average American, men
tion of the harem brings to his mind
a picture of a portly gentleman loll
ijg at ease on a divan, propped up
by numerous gorgeously colored
itnhions, with a miniature pony bal
let composed of his many wives in
front of him.
One Wife Enough.
But in the interest of truth it is.
necessary for me to destroy that
fairy ideal.
While the Koran permits to the
Moslem four wives, not more than
one modern Turk in a hundred,
avails himself of the privilege.
Dim wife is about all that he can
successfully manage.
A Turkish wife has the same du
ties, the same cares, the same" rights
and the same privileges ad any
I American wife.
L I might dance with my husband
Mkt not for him.
would sing or play a piano for
Mnm the same as any American wife
fwould do.
“ Another fr'lacy of American belief
that I must destroy, is- that no man
may see a Turkish woman's face
except her husband.
That was true up to the time of
Abdul Hamid. But during the past
ten years, the custom has gradually
died out.
Turkish, women now appear in
public without the veil covering the

faces, though, being true daughters
of Eve, they retain its beautiful
lines by wearing it draped from the
side of the head.
To such a state of freedom have
the Turkish women obtained, that
in Constantinople the ladies of so
ciety—a class which in Europe ard
ently follows the races —place their
bets with men as freely ns the wo
men of any Christian nation.
Any Turkish woman may go free
ly about the streets unveiled, while
she- does her shopping or visits her
friends.
She is not guarded by slaves, ex
cepting women of the royal family,
who also wear the yashmak or face
covering.
Turkish women today are admitted
to the medical schools, and are
freely employed in business.
The only remaining restriction
upon the Turkish wife is the custom
of not appearing in public placed
with her. husband. But even that
last remaining barrier to complete
freedom is gradually being over
thrown.
Boss Their Husbands.
1 kept niy house, took care of the
financial aedhunts, did the cooking,
and/ generally bossed my husband as
I <k> now in America.
He and I were partners in every
! sense of the word.
Perhaps Turkish marriages can
show a greater percentage of happy
i ii’rion than ex:?. in America.
Marriage there is not entered into
; in the free and easy manner oi
America. ,
We ?o<>k before we leap, and the
advice of our parents is usually fol
lowed.
I hope that this will correct the
false ideas which so many Americans
have of Turkish married life.
