ISTANBUL, Turkey December 81
.IStanbul remembers Lady Ronald Lind
say, whose husband will take over the
British embassy in Washington early
next year, in superlative terms.
Though she was here for only two
years and half, when Sir Ronald was
British Ambassador to the Turkish Re-
public from 1924 to 1926, she became
memorably known throughout the city
OF the Golden Horn, from merchants in
the most hidden booths of Stambul's
labyrinthine bazaarS to Turkish fisher
men of the Marmora, the BoSphorus
and the Black Sea. Jade merchants
still speak of her as the cannieSt con-
noiSSeur OF jade that ever slipped coffee
In their dark, rug-Strewn booths, and
old Turks Of the sea still tell yarns of
the "Inghiliz" or American" lady
they rarely discriminate between the
two nationalitieS here-who raced her
yacht with expert skill over the superb
yachting waters Of Constantinople.
Lady Lindsay Loved StambuI.
Lady Lindsay loved Stambul and
Pertaining, and her guests loved being
entertained by her. Diplomatic and
Turkish society say that no hostess
ever reigned more adeptly In the mar
bic halls and vast rooms of the palatial
embassy here-and other British am
baSSadrices to Turkey have counted
women such as Lady Mary Worthley
Montague.
During her stay in ConStantinople,
Lady Lindsay devoted much Of her time
to charity and was particularly inter-
ested in the American Y. M. C. A. and
Y. w. c. A. centerS here, and in Rus
sian relief work. Among her close
friends were American women engaged
in welfare work, such as Miss Ruth
Woodsmall Of Denver, Colo, then ex-
ecutive secretary of the Y. w. G. A. in
the Near East, and Miss Anna Mitch
ell of New York and Miss Alma Rug
giles Of Washington, organizers Of relief
for Russian refugees.

Busy hostess and busy charity work.
er, Lady Lindsay also found much time
for visiting mosques, museums and pal
aces of old Stambul and for hunting
"finds'' IN the baZaars. She found time,
too. for sports, yachting being her IA
vorite, with tennis a close second. She
and Sir Ronald built the British en-
basSy's first court. She drove her own
car, too. over the seven hills of SIAM
