We wound out of the desert into farm land; gentle slopes dotted with sheep and into fruit- growing areas. The houses in the villages were poor, but trains never do go through the best part of town do they? The women we saw were all in black. They wore a baggy sort of wrap-garment and head shawl covering their fore- heads and pinned high under the chin. Younger ones on the railway stations were not dressed like this. They were in cotton print dresses or blouses and skirts and no head covering. 'The stations, always crowded with travellers, mostly with huge, cumbersome bundles, were neat and clean with usually a few,-flawer baskets swaying in the breeze and invariably tables And chairs set out on the platform where you could sit and drink Turkish coffee and watch the trains go through. Obviously this was a local pastime. Olives For Breakfast Somewhere along the line at a place called Muratli, a young fellow in a white coat came in with a breakfast tray. On it were a boiled egg, some slices of rather heavy white bread, a sweet roll, a dish of yogurt, a dish of ripe olives, a large pear, an apple, some strawberry jam, a tiny glass of hot tea and two cubes of sugar; no milk, no butter. I began with the pear which was luscious and worked my way through the lot, except the apple -- saved that for lunch. Since there was, no butter, the yogurt went well with the bread and needed the olives for seasoning. Arrived in Istanbul one is immediately aware of the throngs of people. Actually there are two million of them and they all seem to be out on the street.

The fez and the veil were outlawed by the liberator and first president of the republic, Kemal Ataturk, The city is built on seven hills and is partly in Europe and partly in Asia; separated by the swiftly flowing Bos- phorus which connects the Black sea_ with the Sea of Marmara. The European side is divided again roughly into north-east and south-west by the Golden Horn, a long, narrow neck of water, and from my hotel balcony I could see mosques and minarets silhouetted in the crimson sun- sets and the point where the Bosphorus, the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara met. The city is so old and so full of culture and tradition that it would take months rather than weeks to take it all in. For 16 centuries Istanbul has been a metropolis, longer than any other city in the world and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the suburbs of the imagination from the centre of reality. Older Than Christianity The first settlement dates back to the 9th century BC. In turn this became Byzantium and then Constantinople after the Roman Emperor. In the Middle Ages it was captured by the Ottoman Turks and the Sultans held sway until 1923 when Mustapha Kemel led the revolution that brought about the present republic. Evidence of the fabulous wealth of the sultans are the enormous mosques, marvels of oriental architecture, that built. There are five hundred mosques and at are larger than any European cathedrals . Inside, supported by gigantic. columns, nalf-domes rise above half-domes curving inward to the centre, Painting and mosaics decorate ere are some stained designs but no figure, either human or animal, is allowed. To the Moslem the mosque is a place of the spirit. There are no seats and the stone floors are completely carpeted. Outside in the courtyard are fountains and footstools where the worshippers wash their hands, feet and faces, paying scrupulous attention to their eyes, ears, noses and mouths, before entering the mosque, They walk from the fountain to the entrance on wooden clogs which they kick aside and enter barefoot. A non-Moslem is required to remove his shoes which 1 did many times, hoping, in an unreligious moment, that they would still be there when I emerged. They were. A Moslem is required to pray five times a day, at least once in @ mosque, The first call comes in the grey dawn and the last in' the twilight. As he prays he kneels and bows his forehead to the ground. Because the carpets are touched by the foreheads of the worshippers, they must be kept free from dirt. Hence the reason for the removal of: shoes. Women have practically no place in the Moslem faith. A small gallery is reserved for them in the back of the mosque while rows and rows of men crouch like turtles before the Imam who intones his prayers in a mournful minor key. Outside in the sunlight a handful of boys were kicking a football around in the dust. Not for them the call to prayer. This was one of the signs of the new Turkey. When they conquered, the Turks did not ravage. That is why it is possible today to see Roman and Christian relics. The famous basilica of Saint Sophia constructed by the Emperor Justinian in 532 stands in all its glory, but is not used either as a church'or a mosque and I discovered the 1500 year old church of St. Sauveur in Khora, rich with gold and colored mdsaics of Bible stories, angels and saints, which were covered with plaster when the church became a mosque and-are now being restored by archaeologists. I went down into the vast pillared cisterns that the Romans built as storage places for the precious water they piped in from the hills, over long aqueducts. The Roman fortifications are still standing and the poor have built lean-to shacks against them. Wallowing In Wealth It was the old, dirty, crowded part of the city that fascinated me. Here is the old seraglio, now the Topkapi Museum, that was the historic palace of the sultans. Here they ruled in glittering splendor with five thousand ser- vants at their bidding. Never have I seen such a collec- tion of jewels, diamonds, emeralds, rubies and pearls in , mecklets, headdresses, watches, knives, swords, scabbards, almost any object you could think of was there, encrusted with precious stones. Not just one room, but galleries of them and others containing Chinese porcelain and oriental treasures. Abdul Aziz, one of the most splendid, and avaricious, of the Sultans, weighed over three hundred pounds, so he had among other things, a special throne built of solid gold and inlaid with pearls. He also had three hundred concubines and four wives. He once paid a state visit to Queen Victoria and tried to obtain a loan but instead she gave him a grandfather's elock and there it stands, plain and practical, amid the exotic treasures. ' A friendly Turk asked me if the sultans had more jewels than the Queen of England. "Oh yes," I replied, "many more" but I didn't add that we still had the Queen. Because while the sultans were gobbling up the wealth of the land and exchanging diamonds for dancing girls, their subjects were living in squalor.
