Turkey IS key down by its women
saws Miss Hester d. Jenkins. professor of
history in the American College for
Women al Coustantinople- Miss Jenkins is
taking a years study a Columbia Uni
versity and giving occasional talks on the
position of women IN Turkey. She has had
plenty Of chance for observation in this
matter. fer she has lived in Turkey nine
years. She not only was there during the
recent revolution. but she had hand in
the affairs herself.
''The Turkish woman SAYS Miss jenkins
''isn't ia The ieas; stupid. but she is treated
like 2 baby by Tie men, and she behaves

q fact that in more than one Turkish crisis
the intrigues Of the women, ignorant and
reactionary. have placed the wrong man on
the throne and held back the course of
progress.
i want TO correct one Western miscon-
ception OF Turkish women, however. They
don't, as g rule, wear bloomers. In Occi-
dental lands the Turkish woman is thought
Of either as gorgeous creature in span
