 Biskra, one of the most beautiful 
oases in tthe Sahara, was the next 
place visited. Robert Hichens in his 
“The Garden of Allah’ has given a 
wonderful description of it. At Bis- 
kra, too, Mrs. Downes was fortunate 
enough to see the dance of the whirl- 
ing dervishes. It was held up-stairs 
in a mosque in a large room where 
the men sat about on the floor with 
the musicians and the Marabout at 
one end. With the starting of the 
“music, a great trembling of the body 
began among the dancers and then a 
little running step forward and back. 
Finally in the excitement of the 
dance, the dancers stuck hat-pins 
through their cheeks, nose, lips and 
ears. The speaker had with her a 
pin which she herself had taken from 
the cheeks of one boy. 
At Tunis the richest and the poor- 
est people of all Africa gather and 
the speaker appeared in the character- 
istic dress of the women of each class. 
The first was the costume of a 
wealthy Tunisian Jewess, a heavy 
brocaded silk, embroidered with pure

gold or silver. The head-dress was 
a pointed cap which fell to the waist 
line in back and which had wonderful 
embroideries in gold. The costume 
had a rather plain waist and short 
tight trousers, all wrought with gold. 
Mrs. Downes said that it was not an 
unusual thing for a Tunisian Jewess 
to pay $1,000 to $2,000 for a single 
costume, but that when they are worn 
out the dealer will take it back, burn 
away the silk and pay for the gold 
or silver according to weight. 
The last costume 
Downes wore was that of the under- 
ground cave dwellers of Tunis, being, 
in fact nothing more than rags of 
bright colors held together by the 
tpyical jewelry of the country. Twice 
each year the men of the underground 
colony go away to an oasis to plant 
crops for their families and, in clos- 
ing; Mrs. Downes sang their farewell 
song in Arabic. 
The program possessed the. virtue 
of uncommonness and was corres- 
pondingly enjoyed by the large audi- 
ence present. Mrs. Carolyn Allen, 
accompanied by Mrs. Edith Williams 
sang two solos which were appre- 
ciated. Five dollars from the club 
treasury was voted to purchase 
Christmas seals for the anti-tuber- 
culosis fund and these will be on sale 
at the next meeting, when it is hoped 
that all may be disposed of. 
After the close of the program the 
meeting adjourned for afternoon tea, 
served by a committee. Mrs. Annie 
Sinnicks was hostess.

THE CHRISTMAS THOUGHT. 
Ideas on Christmas . giving are 
rapidly changing among the sensible. 
Those who think as they give are 
looking for a year-round service as 
the important thing. 
In a week of shopping, with all its 
strain, you will not find a better gift 
than a year’s subscription to The 
Youth’s Companion. It offers its 
service, its clean entertainment, its 
fine suggestiveness week after week; 
and the end of the year, which finds 
many a gift in the attic, dust-covered 
and forgotten, brings The Companion 
again, with all the charm of last 
Christmastide. 
No American monthly at any price 
offers the same amount of. reading, 
and none can offer better quality. 
Less than four cents a week provides 
this best of Christmas gifts—$2.00 a 
year. If you subscribe now, all the 
remaining issues of the year will be 
sent free, and The Companon Home 
Calendar. A copy of the Calendar is 
also sent to those who make*a. gift 
subscription. Send for sample copies, 
and the Forecast for 1915.
