Autochrome by Franklin Price Knott 



A SHY KABYLE BEAUTY 



There would seem to be no feminine reason why this picturesque young woman in her 

 brilliant costume should object to standing- as a model before the color camera, but she, like the 

 other girls in the neighborhood of Michelet, Tunisia, eluded the artist for many days. As 

 fleet of foot as a gazelle, she would have made her escape had not the Mother Superior of the 

 Government hospital persuaded her to pose for the stranger, which she did with uncon- 

 scious grace.
