tinople has become uortnal nud Is now
as far removed from the theater o f
war as any big city in neutral coun
tries. The cafes and motion picture
houses are well attouded. and the then
ter* are crowded. Recently there was
a big first night in the Petit Champs,
the occasioii being the performance o f
a French comedy. The actors were
Turks, but the actresses were all \r
menlans, as Turkish women are not

but the general opinion Is expressed by
all thinking Turks that l>efore long
their women will make their first np-
pearance as actresses.
The emancipation o f women in Tur
key has made remarkable progress
since the beginning o f the war. In tb i
best society In Constantinople the wo
men no lo lger wear their veils when
receiving their guests. Though veils
continue to be worn by the Turkish
women In tho street, still the fashion
has made them so flimsy and transpar
ent that they might just as well be dis
pensed with.
Consequently all the fascination and
mystery that heretofore has surround
ed the harem has suddenly disappeared.
There is no longer any such thing, and
In Us place there is simply tbe usual
family life. The Turkish woman is as
much a housewife as her European sis
ter. and in this w ar her resources have
been taxed to tbe utmost. Despite the
fact that the rich agricultural country
of Anatolia Is not far distant, the prices
of all uecessaries o f life have Increased
enormously.
Turkey has awakened from Us long
lethargy, and the war has brought a
new life in the empire. Progress is
now the keynote, and tbe indications
are that within a few years Constanti
