ARAB WOMEN OF ALGIERS 



Here is a picture taken at the entrance of a cemetery to which Moslem women_ resort 

 once a week, usually on Fridays, the Moslem Sabbath. On the day of the weekly visit the 

 cemeteries are by no means gloomy places ; all men are excluded, and the ladies, laying aside 

 their veils, indulge in impromptu picnics, with much laughter and gossip.
