“These women are all heavily veiled, and no man is allowed to look behind a woman's veil unless he is her husband, or her father, or her brother. A man is not even allowed to see his wife's face until after they are married and then it's too late! But fortunately the younger generation are adopting this thinner type of veil which simply seems to add to their beauty.”
-Lowell Thomas
“With Allenby in Palestine” (1919)
