Show Without the Yashmak. One of the English illustrated pa- pers show a photograph of two Turkish women. They are standing In a public place without the yashr mak, the veil which for so many, cen. turles covered the faces of all Turkish Turk-ish women who had a claim to respectability. respect-ability. The women are well dressed. They "have refined faces and evidently belong be-long to the well-to-do classes and per vhaps to tho aristocracy. They seem somewhat embarrassed but the yashmak yash-mak la not there I It la fitting that a generation which has seen tho sudden rise of Japan to great power among tho nations; which has seon India soothing with twentieth century Ideas, and China under nt least tho oemblanco of a republican form of government, should also sco ovldenco of rovolt among tho woman of tho Mohammedan Mohamme-dan countries. If conditions In England Eng-land havo given rlsa to tho militants nnd their antics, what, do conditions in Turkey not warrant tho Turkish women In trying to do? |
