They strike at the heart of orien- tal custom.—They come into sharp contact with the teachings of re- ligion. The Koran itself is cited in support of claims against the grant- ing of which the Koran has been counted decisive. The slavery which forces a wo- man to marry a man whom she has never seen is condemned. To have “children by an utter stranger,” as one feminine speaker phrased it, is held up as intolerable. The nar- rowing effect of the seclusion both upon the women themselves and up- on the sons they bring forth to make tbe rising generation is emphasiz- ed. ‘The priests have taken alarm, | warned They are crying out against the The conservative press is ideas.’ But the women in clubs and in mass-meetings are determin- ed. They are not opposed by the|f, Frogressive and educated men. The reform may not come for several years, but the indications are many that the emancipation of the wo- men cannot be long delayed in an era of tremendous upheavals in a society which has been kept in sub-~ jection for many generations. pA SAS PHONES FOR DISPATCHING.
