And like Orlando, the ghost takes pride in her ability to move seamlessly from time to time and country to country while always keeping up with the latest fashions: with Scheherazade, who the ghost finds "long-winded and a bore," she wears a yashmak; with the Marquis of Carabas she wears a tricorne and powders her hair.

Veiling in Central Asia was intricately related to class, ethnicity, and religious practice. Prior to Soviet rule, Nomadic Kazakh, Kirgiz, and Turkmen women used a yashmak, a veil that covered only the mouth.Edgar (2003), p. 137. The yashmak was applied in the presence of elders and was rooted in tribal rather than Islamic custom.

Yashmak, worn by Halide Edip A yashmak, yashmac or yasmak (from Turkish yaşmak, "a veil"From an identical Old Turkish verb meaning indeed "to cover, hide". The original verb has become obsolete and a new verb, yaşmak-la-mak [segmented ad hoc], "to veil", has developed.) is a Turkish type of veil or niqab worn by some Muslim women to cover their faces in public. Today there is almost no usage of this garment in Turkey. Veil is a Persian custom adopted by Arabs.

Unlike an ordinary veil, a yashmak contains a head-veil and a face-veil in one, thus consisting of two pieces of fine muslin, one tied across the face under the nose, and the other tied across the forehead draping the head. A yashmak can also include a rectangle of woven black horsehair attached close to the temples and sloping down like an awning to cover the face, called peçe, or it can be a veil covered with pieces of lace, having slits for the eyes, tied behind the head by strings and sometimes supported over the nose by a small piece of gold.

The Yashmak, A Story of the East is a musical play, with a libretto by Cecil Raleigh and Seymour Hicks, adapted from an Armenian operetta, Leblébidji Horhor, which had been a success in 1896 in Constantinople. The music was composed by Napoleon Lambelet (1864-1932), and additional songs were composed by Leslie Stuart and others. The Yashmak was first produced at the original Shaftesbury Theatre in London from 31 March 1897 to 31 July 1897, for a run of 121 performances. Scott Russell, a former leading D'Oyly Carte Opera Company tenor, left the Savoy Theatre to star in the production with Aileen D'Orme,Gänzl, Kurt.

Compared to the chachvon and paranji, nomadic women's yashmak veiled comparatively little and was applied only in the presence of elders. Soviet authorities took this as evidence of women's freedom and praised the nomad's gender norms.Edgar (2003), p. 149. Women's rights, though, were still curtailed in nomadic culture.

In the Irish Oaks at the Curragh on 11 July the filly started the 9/2 second choice in the betting behind the Henry Cecil-trained Yashmak who had finished fourth in the Epsom Oaks before winning the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot. The other nine runners included the French-trained Brilliance (winner of the Prix Saint-Alary), Strawberry Roan (runner-up in the Irish 1,000 Guineas) and Etoile (fifth in the Epsom Oaks). After tracking the leaders until the final turn, Murtagh made a forward move on the inside in the straight. Ebadiyla overtook Yashmak approaching the final furlong and drew away to win by three lengths from the favourite with Brilliance a head away in third.

A woman's withdrawal into purdah usually restricts her personal, social and economic activities outside her home. The usual purdah garment worn is a burqa, which may or may not include a yashmak, a veil to conceal the face. The eyes may or may not be exposed. Purdah was rigorously observed under the Taliban in Afghanistan, where women had to observe complete purdah at all times when they were in public.

Women were not given the right to divorce, had fewer inheritance rights, and were generally under the sway of male decisions. While the Women's Division attempted to use the yashmak as a rallying call for women's rights, its low symbolic appeal relative to the chachvon stymied change. The post-Jadid, more explicitly communist government encouraged women's activism but ultimately was not strong enough to enact widespread change, either in settled or nomadic communities.

In 1919, Maurice Babani was the second French couturier, after Poiret, to launch a perfume house, and the first to create exclusive marketing names for his perfumes. His fragrances featured exotic names such as Afghani (1920), Abdulla (1926), Yashmak (1924), and Sousuki (1928) and came in distinctive black and gold packaging. In 1924, Elizabeth Arden tried exclusively marketing six Babani scents to American women as a "wardrobe of perfumes". Despite Arden's publicity drive, Babani lacked sufficient recognition in the United States to make the venture succeed.

Hicks and Terriss both had a comedy background, and they transformed the "lovers" roles in the new genre of Edwardian musicals from overly sentimental to mischievous and light-hearted characters exchanging witty banter. Hicks then worked as co- author on The Yashmak and then on one of the Gaiety Theatre's most successful shows, A Runaway Girl (1898), in which Terriss played the title role. This was followed by With Flying Colours (1899). Also in 1899, Hicks starred as the Duc De Richelieu in A Court Scandal, a comedy adapted by Aubrey Boucicault and Osmond Shillingford from Les Premières Armes de Richelieu by Dumanoir, at the Court Theatre.

She was ridden for the first time by Cecil's new stable jockey Kieren Fallon, who had been impressed by the filly's performances in training. Reams of Verse took the lead in the straight and drew clear of her opponents to win by eleven lengths, and was immediately the subject of heavy betting for the Oaks three weeks later. On 6 June at Epsom, Reams of Verse started 5/6 favourite for the Oaks against eleven other fillies, despite fears that her pedigree lacked the stamina influences needed for the race. Her main rivals in the betting were her stable companion Yashmak (winner of the Fillies' Trial Stakes) and the Irish-trained Ebadiyla.

He played for a time in musical theatre, but deserted acting for playwriting and, either alone or in collaboration, produced melodramas, other plays and musical pieces, staged at first chiefly at the Comedy Theatre, London, and in later years at Drury Lane. Cheer, Boys, Cheer (1895); Hearts are Trumps (1899); The Best of Friends (1902); and The Whip (1909–10) are typical examples of his plays, but he was particularly successful with his musical pieces, Little Christopher Columbus (1893), Dick Whittington and His Cat (1894), The Yashmak (1897) and The Sunshine Girl (1912). Several of his plays were later made into motion pictures. He acted as dramatic critic in two or three London papers, and became secretary to the School of Dramatic Art in Gower Street, London.
