Ayesha of the Bosphorus; a Romanceof Constantinople, BY STANWOOD COBB '03, Murray & Emery Co., Boston.

Ayesha is the story of the love 01 a young American teacher in Robert's College for the Turkish girl, Ayesha, whom the American, Carver, meets at the commencement exercises at the American College for Girls at Scutari. Later Carver sees much of Ayesha, now a teacher in the Girls' School. She is not easily won by her American lover. She is willing, however, to break the customs and traditions of Turkish women and be friendly with Carver, but because of her religion and because she feels that she has a mission among her own people, she refuses his offers of marriage. Finally Carver wins his suit and takes Ayesha as his bride to America.

The story is well told and is most interesting in its realistic descriptions of Constantinople and vicinity, places which the author knows well because of his three years' residence in Turkey.
