Immediately she began to show daring and a genius for or ganizatien that belong to leaders of great enterprises. In less than year she was careening on horseback all over central Turkey to select places for open ing schools for girls. The education of women was not exactly popular in that part of the world, and her abrupt busi- ness methods made sensation among Turks and Arabs. she was familiar figure throughout the whole region clad in plain black dress, destitute of any l trimming, with a stocky riding whip In her hand and an enormous revolver dangling at her side.
