It was my good for- tune to make the acquaintance of a lady who was a genuine ^'emancipee. " She was an Egyptian by birth, married to a Turk. She spoke French very well, had been several times to Europe and had a superficial knowl- 170 RECOLLECTIONS edge of our language and customs. She in- vited me on one occasion to go to her house in the evening. I went, taking my niece with me. Several men were there who made themselves so much at home and whose be- havior was so free that I felt much embar...- rassed. Finally my good friend Rustem Pasha came in. He looked much surprised when he saw us and whispered to me: ''You must not stay here. Get away as soon as possible. Take my carriage if yours is not there. " Accordingly, I made my excuses and departed. Rustem explained to me after- wards that Madame H had rendered her- self d^classee among the Turks by her efforts to emancipate her sex; that the Turkish ladies turned their backs on her and that the Sultan highly disapproved of her. She was so igno- rant of our customs that she could not dis- tinguish between familiarity and intimacy and allowed the men who came to her house the freedom of the demi-monde.
