glorious Hanoum, sometimes I should like to feel as you women of other lands feel, though I know it to be wicked to wish to be different from what the great Allah made me. But I am sorry I have been brought up as a woman of the West. '' " But you are not, " I said. " You arc less of 136 the West than any Mussulman girl I have met. What makes you think that you are like us?" "Because, young Hanoum, I was brought up by foreigners. I speak English, French, and German as well as I do my own lan- gu...age, and I know more of your literatures than I know of our own. The thoughts of your great writers have made a great change in my poor Eastern thoughts. You see, young Hanoum, I was brought up by my ma- ternal grandfather, who is a Turk of the new school, which believes that women ought to be educated to be the companions of men. He brought me up with my cousin Murat, to whom I was betrothed as soon as I was born. He is only four years older than my- self, but I shared his studies and his games till I reached womanhood and had to take tcharchaf.
