  "WHILE 
  YOU 
  WAIT" 
  IN 
  CONSTANTINOPLE 
  

  

  The 
  Turk 
  has 
  his 
  slippers, 
  with 
  their 
  heels 
  turned 
  in, 
  repaired 
  while 
  he 
  waits. 
  He 
  slips 
  

   into 
  and 
  out 
  of 
  them 
  a 
  hundred 
  times 
  a 
  day, 
  and, 
  having 
  but 
  one 
  pair, 
  he 
  sits 
  and 
  chats 
  

   with 
  the 
  cobbler 
  until 
  the 
  needed 
  patch 
  is 
  added.

  THE 
  ASIATIC 
  SIDE 
  OF 
  THE

  This 
  is 
  the 
  village 
  to 
  which 
  St. 
  John 
  Chrysostom 
  was 
  banished 
  after 
  he 
  preached 
  against 
  

   the 
  luxury 
  and 
  vice 
  of 
  the 
  Constantinople 
  court 
  under 
  the 
  Empress 
  Eudoxia. 
  He 
  was 
  called 
  

   back 
  by 
  the 
  people, 
  but 
  still 
  continued 
  his 
  sermons; 
  so 
  was 
  again 
  exiled.
