BIRMINGHAM PEOPLE MEET IN A PARKWAY COUNTRY

en sang a Russian gong The woman who waited on our table was devoted to Ensign Cunningham, and he told us that IS months ago she had gor geous jewels which she. had sold one by one to get money to send to her mother in Russia. Ensign Cunning ham said every time his ship goes to Russia this girl sends a letter by him with money it it. After the din ner the girls and young men danced. We met some charming people.
 Admiral Bristol was dining at the Muscovite and Madam Elleasco, Ca former Huntsville girl, now the wife of the leading banker of Constanti- nqpIe) welcomed us with open arms and asked us to go home with her.
 Ensign Cunningham has many friends here. He is as handsome as Il picture and has inherited much of the charm and beauty of his mother. We are the first people from Alabama who have visited Constantinople dur ing his residence here, and though Eva and l were strangers to him, he devoted himself absolutely to our pleasure. He has friends who loaned automobiles and tenders and launches and he knows how to order perfect dinner. He speaks Greek, Turkish. French and knows some Russian He

But the maids. porte.s, elevator boys, all looked at us so Wistfully I concluded that the pro prietor kept all the tips.
 These hotels furnish no soap. We forgot ours and after Ensign Gun ringham bought us a cake of soap we left 1t unlocked and on our re- turn found it had vanished.
 "We went to the bazars with En- sign Cunningham and he knew how to bargain so that we paid what things were worth instead of what the Turks asked.
 "The destroyer Overton is in Rus sla now, but Ensign Cunningham had received permission to be off duty during our visit. He and his friends made us have thrilling time and Eva found him wonderful dancing partner, and l can't express how charmed we were to have a friend in Constantinopie.
 "We were there on Friday and saw the soldiers line while the Sultan went to the Mosque to pray. Offl- cials went through the crowd of spec tatois offering each of us Turkish cigarettes for souvenirs and saying how much the Sultan likes, Americans and that he was glad to see us in Turkey.
 If we had had time, and with En- sign Cunningham to help us, we could have bought marvellous pieces of silver and jewels that have beon seized by tho Bolshevists and sold in Constantinople. It looked like a paradise for collectors.
 We have been to Modena, Cadiz, Seville Gibraltee, Algiers, Athens, Constantirople. and are now almost to Jerusalem. l. is very gay and interesting on board. Something do- ing all the time. A young New York man is standing by me now begging me to quit the cruise and take Eva straight on to Cairo, where he has friends. There is literally no time to write.
 "We are craving near to port Haifa new, where l can mail this letter--so Cood-by and best wishes."
