TURKISH BEAUTY.
OVERDRAPED OR UNDER?
KEMAL ON FASHIONS
LONDON, April 3. While Western fashionable women are adopting Eastern modes a la Tutankhamen, Eternal Pasha, the Turkish leader, is pursuing a campaign to impress Western ideas of dress on Turkish women, says the London Daily Mail. In a speech at Konia he drew attention to the extremes shown in large towns. Turkish women in some cases wore the black dress and veil, covering every part of the wearer except the hands and feet. This is the traditional attire.
Other women sometimes carried Western dross to an excess which would not be tolerated in European ballrooms.
The Moslem religion, ho pointed out prescribes a dress harmonising social requirements with those of virtue. If Turkish women obeyed bis injunctions they would not veil so heavily nor display their persons too freely.
