MANCHESTER WOMAN’S CLUB 
“LattLe Stortes oF NortH AFRICA” 
SuBjJEct oF INTERESTING TALK. 
The usual semi-monthly meeting of 
the Manchester Woman’s club was 
held at the Chapel Tuesday and Mrs. 
Marion A. Downes was the speaker 
of ithe afternoon giving her “Little 
Stories of North Africa,” assisted by 
“Hassan” the typical Arab guide. Her 
descriptions of Algiers, Blidah and 
Tunis were in themselves interest- 
ing, but were made more so by her 
native costumes. The first one in 
which she appeared was the quite well 
known street dress of the Moham- 
medan woman. It was made of 
white wool and consisted of a flow- 
ing headdress, the long face veil, a 
waist ornamented with heavy silver. 
jewels and very full, quite long 
trousers and sandal shoes, “Hassan” 
appeared in the Arab burnoose and 
gandora, which are comparatively 
well known. His turban was of silk; 
beautifully embroidered by hand: 
Algiers is usually divided into three 
parts, ithe business section, where the ; 
buildings are all white, the residential 
part, which has been called the 
Riviera of North Africa, and the na- 
tive‘ quarter, which is perhaps. ‘the 
most interesting. Mrs. Downes was 
privileged to attend some of the even- 
ing services, to which the Arab wo- 
men are not admitted, and she gave. 
some of the unique forms and cere- 
monies. The dance of the native wo- 
men at the graves of the holy men, 
she also gave, accompanied by Has- 
san on |the native drum. 
The speaker next told something 
of the home life of the native women 
and wore the regulation harem cos- 
tume, a round red cap, low necked, 
short-sleeved waist and short. full 
trousers with a wide girdle about’ the 
waist, all of thin red silk. 
From Algiers Mrs. Downes and 
her party went to Blidah, where she 
had her first and only Moorish bath. 
Tuesday is the gala day for the 
Moorish women to go to the baths 
and Friday for them to go to the 
cemetery; these being their only rec- 
reations. They have a saying in 
Blidah that ‘all scandal starts in the 
bath or in the cemetery.” 
The speaker next donned the cos- 
tume of the hill woman, who plows 
in the fields while her husband makes 
jewelry. The dress was of a heavy 
striped material of one piece only, 
fastened on the shoulders with heavy 
jewelry and gathered in at the waist» — 
with a girdle. With this a round 
head-dress was worn and a wig of 
black and red worsted, This same
