THE WOMEN OF MOROCCO.

By far the larger poition of the inhabitants of Morocco have no Arab blood in their veins, but belong to the Berber race, which is of Indo- Germanic origin, and, although they have ac- cepted the Mohammedan religion, have never accepted the Turkish or Moorishattitude toward women. When one sees the women of the Berber classes the old idea of a weak, fading human flower, pining for light in a harem, dis appears. Bere is no type of this sort, but an unveiled, stately form, strong and conscious of herself. And these women represent the ma- more than 2,000,000, fority of the female Moors, numbering in all

The most noteworthy feature of the position of the Berber woman, Herr Guttzeit says, "i that there the old custom of the mother right" has been preserved. In accordance with this custom, a child is not named after the father, but after the mother. And in general the greater weight is given the smaterial line of des- ent. This is all the more romarkable as with the Moors and Arabs the principle of the pa- tiarchate prevails. If we consider how deeply men are influenced by inherited views in refer enge 10 marriage and the family we will easily see why the so-called insurrection in Morocco does not cease.

In ali important matters the women are con suited among the Berbers, and the women of the Tuareg tribe, in the southern part of Mo- rocco, are truly unique figures. In fact, they may be given a high place not only among the women af Islam, but among the women of the world. There is nothing share of Eastem po lygamy.
