MARRIED AND SINGLE IN THE HEBRON DISTRICT 

 It is a very simple matter to tell if a woman is married or single in the neighborhood 

 of the ancient citv of Hebron. All the unmarried girls wear a large silver com on their 

 foreheads, like the girl in the picture. When no such com appears, it is a sign that the 

 woman is or has been married.
