A DANCER OF THE CAFES, ALGERIA 

 Their faces clouded with a dark paint to increase the natural effect of the desert sun on their skin, 

 their nails darkened with henna, and their cheeks faintly tattooed in blue to show their caste, 

 these beauties of the Ouled Nail tribe furnish much local color in the crowded cafes of Northern 

 Africa. Their costumes are gorgeous and their heavy ornaments are largely of gold and 

 silver coins.
