A JEWISH BEAUTY OF TUNIS 



Photo by L,ehnert and L,androck 



Throughout northern Africa beauty and fat are thought to be the same and nowhere is 

 this more true than in the Jewish colony in Tunis. This gaudy costume, the satin breeches, 

 the pink silk jacket covered with embroidery in silk and gold thread, the tall sugar-loaf cap, 

 and the curious slippers ending under the instep, while still common, is slowly but surely 

 giving place to the ordinary Paris fashions.
