'BEHIND THE. VEIL"
NEW WOMAN OF THE EAST
[BY RUSITA TORRES.]
A. D. C.
In view of the position of affairs in DUNSANY'S: Mesopotamia the following description.
of the Arab woman written by Mrs. Forbes, who has recently returned from the East, will be of interest, .
The Eastern woman's veil shuts her off in a world of mystery-lo Western eyes, She is aloof and nuapproachablo-a shape- is black sindow in streets full of light and colour. No hint of form escapes the muffling folds of the dark babbara.

Turkish rule in the Middle East strongly discourages the education of girls, but it could not stop then thinking, and a very trong feminist movement is apparent in Syria and Mesopotamia ta.day,
In Damascus, a feminist journal has a large circolation. In Bagdad schools for the war orphans ( Children of Martyrs" they are called) are entirely organised and run by the daighters of paskas.

"We cannot do that till the men are better educated," she said. They would

THE REAL HAREM,
The European idea of a barem is largely that of a abuttered and barred mystery where fightly clad huuris repose ca cushions of preposterous shapes. In reality the whole house is háreme and used by all the family, while one or two rooms on the ground floor are reserved for men only.
In the striped marble palaces of the big towns there is a great central court, with a carved fountain, surrounded by orange trees and scented yellow roses. Round this are the reception and bed rooms of the house all of the same pattern. If it is an old-fashioned dwelling there are low, hard divans, with rows of stil holsters! covered with ernde einbroidery, and per- haps a brazier, where little brass pots of bilier cofee. stand among the glowing"
embers.
