Men and boys were in the front yard erecting arches of smilax. Within the j church other men and boys were! assisting the women and girls in j hanging smilax streamers on the j walls and in arranging jars of1 camelia blossoms around the chacel. In the altar space stood with unconscious grace a native woman, bearing branches of flow ers ,in her hand—a sweet faced suggestion of the Madonna. All travelers must ride down the mountain, streets in the wick er sledges, and we enjoyed the experience. These steep pebble paved streets are laid in waves, very even regular waves. Two strong native runners guide with ropes the wicker sledge, which touches the crest of each wave as it descends, while the runners when necessary, pull it to a sud den halt by grounding themselves in the trough of the wave. Many sharp turns have to be made, but the runners are stout and no fear is felt. At Gilbraltar a raw wind was blowing. Its profile of eouchant lion is perfect, but it is somewhat disappointing to know that its rock is friable and to surrender the phrase “firm as Gibraltar.” In spirit the pktee is mercenary and uninteresting though if you will re turn to the shop whose keeper is following you in most undignified fashion down the street, shouting “How much you give? How much you give?” you may do good buy ing. At least there was a parade of Spanish shawls at dinner that night and thereafter. We climbed halfway to the sum mit by the rock galleries, 8-12 feet wide, 10-12 feet high, which were excavated for defence in 1786, but which have been used for little ex cept for conveying materials (not hauled by cable) or for affording tourists fine views through their arched openings, of the harbor and the neutral ground.

The effect of white, though not of warmth, was enhanced by stories told us of heavy snows south of Algiers, blocking the progress of a party; and in Algiers the air was chill. Here we came in close contact with Arab life. Mounting the high hill on broad avenues by auto, wo descended on foot down sloping and slipping stone steps, through street after street only eight or ten feot wide. The second story in most cases projected over the first, and often the third aljove the second, so that timber props were constantly resort ed to to bridge the four or five feet remaining and give support to the converging walls. The life of the people went on as susual, while tour ists turned out for returning mar keters and once for a donkey well laden with panniers of vegetables. In small dark rooms students re clined, chanting the Koran, or aged men lay helplessly in bundles of rags. One house visited showed an interior much more attractive than such exteriors suggested. It had a neat small central court with tile walls and floors, and the narrow stairs led past doorways opening into dark but pleasing rooms, to the housetop which afforded a wide view of city and harbor. A heavy odor lay over this Arab quarter of Algiers, which all the brisk winds of the Mediterranean were unable to blow away. We acquired a new meaning for tho “perfumes of Araby. ’ ’ On January 30 the far famed bay of Naples was a choppy ugly gray, and even lunch at Bertolini’s on the hill failed to reveal much beauty through the drizzle.

Athens was welcomed by our tourists as a long lost friend. The Acropolis and Lycabettus stand up magnificently above the bare hill sides and the Piraeus and Phaleron with their yellow cube houses. The sky here was soft blue with float ing clouds, and when later one looked through the beautiful col umns of the Parthenon, softened by the time to old ivory and rich golden brown, and saw through them the sparkling blue harbor and the purple tints of the shores and the isles of Greece, one was satis fied.
