Miss Ekrem is a delicate, cultured, young and uncomm~only intelligent Turkish woman, miraculous example of the rapidity with wbicb woman catcbes up with the stride of nman, when once. freed f rom the trammels of ancient custom and superstition. Little more than a decacle ago, under tbe Ottoman empire, Miss Ekrem was a cbild in a .se- cluded harem. Today, under tbe Tuirk- isb republic, she is an enfrancbised vot- er, a potential government office holder,, and a competent publie freturer. True, she has blue blood and f amous ancestors behind her,'but not until the inculcationi of the idéals of western culture could the abilities of tbe womnen of this famuily be released..
