DISCOVER FREEDOM | HAS ITS DRAWBACKS = Tarkish Women Find Transition Period Troublous Angora, Turkey, Dec. 21.—(A)— Gazi Moustapha Kemal, iron-handed shaper of the new Turk: destiny, has turned to a woman for help She is Madame Flore Boccart, Bel- gian educational expert, who has come here post-haste at the Turkish government's request to make ems cipation safe for the womanhood o Turkey. In the present stage of transition Turkish women are at a critical cross-roads, half terrified by the skeleton of their imprisoned past which dangles there and hali be- fuddled by the vista of the strar free future which stretches before them. 1t is this transition period which finds 50 per cent of the women throughout the land insane or neu- rasthenic, according to the esti- mate of Turkey's leading alienist, Dr. Mezhar Osman, and fills the press with almost daily instances of suicides among is and young women. The weakening of parental and religious authority under the new regime, the opportunity for romantic love affairs instead of the strictly business marriages of the old days, the ctrtailment of all the se- clusion and even virtual imprison- ment which yet granted protection from the woes that beset freedom, have all been factors tending to make Turkish women lose their balance.

The vast majority of the npper classes have learned nothing new except the Charleston; over S0 per cent of Turkish women still wear t v(il, and practically all of them are at their wits' end to know what to do with this new frecdom.
