Veiled to unveiled Turk women change urban life
Constantinople May 25 Maf Turkish women no longer shyly veil themselves. Streets in Constantinople and other cities show women with veils pulled back, adorned and fashionable. Women still favor veils over hats though many wear attractive black silk veils draped over hair. Rail and streetcar seating for women remains, but curtains are often drawn back and men sometimes occupy women’s compartments. Only very old men join Turkish women in the same seats. Theaters remain mostly men as women attend special matinees and evenings. The war has helped loosen social codes.
