prophetic of her coming across the
seas in such tender youth.
The sister-in-law. who has much of
the care of the children, is Max
Boule, a tiny woman in Turkish cos
tune, who has given glimpses of her
self accidentally to the gaping public.
The older children have already as
sumed the clothes of American chill
dren, and it is sure to follow that the
younger ones will soon do likewise.
Whether the women in the legation
will ever become moderniZed to the
extent of the Chinese, Siamese and
Korean women, and mingle with the
men and the women they are thrown
with in the social circles of Washing
ton. is still a doubt in the minds of
every one.
They are far more likely to re-
main in their absolute secIusion,
especially now that the sultan has
failed TO raise this legation to an
embassy, which was expected and an
nounced when Mehmed Ali arrived.
He is comfortably established now in
a modern house in a fashionable dis
trict. and his oldest daughter has al
ready entered the public school,
SHERIFF. is a remarkable clever child.
She saw her first camera when she
sat for her photograph soon after the
arrival of the family in Washington
The photographer could scarcely get a
negative of her because of her deep
interest in the working of the ap-
paratus.
She had to know all about it be-
fore she sat down. Then she had IL
be told how it worked before she
could be quieted long enough to let
the operator take a snap shot She
has also become converted to the
Teddy bear.
The very fact that the minister has
allowed his daughter to enter the
public school indicates a progression
such as was hardly dreamed of from
the land of harems.

Bucks county. II was the home Of Gov

was the house which Washington
found so comfortable during his en-

virtually made it his headquarters. Il
has just gone under the hammer, and
probably Will meet the fate of many
another historical landmark which has
been razed.
The Keith mansion is a handsome
stone edihce, three miles northwest Of
HatborO and nineteen miles from Phil
adelphia It has been known for nearly
one and three-fourth centuries as the
governors house for it was built and
occupied by Sir William Keith, lieu

his wife. Lady Anne Keith, both fam
Gus figures in colonial history.
Sir William and Lady Anne came
from England in 1717 and soon dis
covered the beauties of the White
marsh valley, where the lieutenant
governor decided to build a home. He
selected the site, work was begun in
1921, and the mansion was completed
the following year With its thick
walls, high ceilings, huge fireplaces
carved mantels and oaken balustrades,
the mansion was handsome example
of the architecture OF the period The
Keith cOat-of-arms, with the motto,
Remember Thy End" was spread

year ago.
The new minister has brought with
