Charles r. Macauley, famous the
world over for his political cartoons
has turned novel writer, and if we are
to judge from his maiden effort in this
direction, his career as a novelist is
| likely to be as successful as that OF
another celebrated cartoonist, Du Maui
rier, the man who wrote ''TriIby.''
Writing is no new thing to Mr.. Ma
cauley; for years he has contributed
important special articles to news
papers and magazines The Red Tav-
ern,' however, is his first venture into
the field of fiction
True to the spirit of the age-the
dark age of mysteries and miracles
Mr.. Macauley seasons his romance,
The Red Tavern" plentifully with
these witch-like phenomena
The Tavern is not only haunted,
but takes wings unto itself and flies
by night, leaving naught but a vacant
plot for the superstitious peasants to
cape at when daylight peeps through
the forest branches.
Choosing for his characters the same
royal personages about whom Shake
L.
Edward ", Mr.. Macauley has taken
fewer liberties than the bard of Avon
and has proved himself guiltless of the
counts Sir Walter Scott laid at Shake
speare's door
But historical accuracy is a gaunt
skeleton without the fieshlier charms
that gifted and imaginative pen can
provide. To make his 18th century
skeleton live and walk and breathe
and love, Mr. Macauley has invoked
his pen as well as his painters brush
and has made the past dimple and
blush as naturally as the lovely hero
inc of his tale,
This heroine is none other than love-
ly Mistress Tyrrell. whose fate is
strangely linked with that of her mis-
chievous sister. While temporarily
immured within the TyrreI home
(Which is none other than the Red
Tavern itself, the hero. Sir Richard
Rohan, KIT. is separated from his lady
by a "two-foot, key-cold wall"
How he carries away her sister and
all but marries her because of decep-
ton. how he proves his almost st.
George-like valor and his adorable
chivalry, is told in a sprightly. quick
step manner that will interest the
light reader as well as the history
lover.

chum of your boyhood perpetrated the

ConstantinopIe, Turkey, June g.
The American College for Women in
Constantinople. now known as Con-
stantinople College. today dedicated
five new buildings on its new property
at Arnautkeuy on the European shores
of the Bosphorus. Work on the con-
struction of these buildings was COM
menced in the summer of 1910. The
property comprising fifty-four acres OF
land extending up the hillside above
the village of Arnautkeuy, was ac-
quired in 1905. Two years were then
spent in raising funds with which to
begin the construction of suitable
halls for a commodious college home.
The late Mrs. Henry Woods of
Boston was the first to subscribe TO
this enterprise with a gift of $4,000.
This donation formed the nucleus of
other gifts making possible the con-
struction of a well equipped science
building to be known as Henry Woods
Hall.
In the spring of 1910 s150.000 was
by Helen Miller Gould,
now Mrs. Finley J. Shepard, to be
used for the construction OF an ad-
building. Subsequently
Mrs. Shepard added $4,000 to this
gift in order to suitably carry out
the general design for central
building which should form the key

Rockefeller at cost of 100000. The
tower of this machine house can be
seen from the Bosphorus, and forms
an interesting feature of the new out
| lay. The buildings of the main group
are all plainly visible from the water
and themselves command a wide eX-
tended view of the middle and upper
Bosphorus.
The architectural scheme of the
whole plan is one of remarkable dig
nifty and beauty. The buildings are
all of concrete-the main walls being
composed of monolithic or mass
work, the floor and retaining walls for
the most part of reinforced concrete
and every line fits in most admirably
with the surrounding contour of the
site. The well known American archi-
tects, Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge of
Boston, are in full charge of the under
taking and the completed scheme pre-
sents the most conspicuous example
OF institutional construction in the
Near East. Under the direction of an
able superintendent, assisted by ex-
perienced foremen for the different
branches of labor. the buildings of
Constantinople college are the first ex-
ample in Turkey of construction with
American machinery and building
methods. Native 1aborers have been
employed throughout and the use of
such devices as steam derricks, air
drills, the stone crusher and steam
concrete mixer has vertically opened
the eyes of these workmen to modern
methods of building construction.
The dedication of these buildings
marks an era in the history of higher
education for women in the Near
East 1t is 40 years since the school
OF which Constinople college was
founded. During this time the atti-
tude of the Ottoman government to-
ward the education of girls has en-
tfrely changed. and the various ma.
tional schools of the Near East. the
schools of Bulgaria, Greek and Ar
menian schools have all greatly i'm
proved. The standard set by this
American institution for the liberal
education OF young women has become |
the standard of all. And since the

constitution gave liberty to all the
