Moorish women are a mystery to most | people, ai so little is known about them. It is quite posible, however, that there is not much to be known, for they are ignorant and wholly uneducated.

Kaid Maclean's daughter, who speaks Arabic .perfectly, told me that she had never met any Moorish lady, among the many she has visited, who was not convinced that the life she and her country women lead are superior to those led by the women of other nations.

- They always criticised the European wo- men's custom of going about unveiled. Your father cannot care touch about you to let you go about unveiled, for it is a disgrace for a woman to show her face to men, has often been said to Miss Maclean, atid nothing she could say in reply would alter the Maorish w'men's opinion.
