and the narrow streets. The
Arabs, still in great part wearing
the garb which must have been
the type of clothes the Hebrews
of old wore, add to the feeling
of antiquity. But the very topo-
graphy of Jerusalem with its
many hills, gives something of a
solemnity to the appearance of
the city.

then the Arabs show the same dis-
position to cafes. You can see
many Arabs sitting in open air
cafes, drinking Turkish coffee and
smoking those big nargilahs.
Some of the younger generation
of Arabs have taken a liking to
the Jewish cafes. In the Jewish
cafes of course, women as well as
men are admitted, while the Arabs
will not permit any Arab girls in
their own. The Arab women are
veiled and there is no commingling
of men and women among them
except in marriage.
The Arabs of course make up
for this stinting of women by be-
ing permitted to take many wives.
How many take advantage of this
I cannot say. I presume polygamy
is a luxury which only the more
adventurous or better situated
Arabs can indulge in.
Despite of all the talk of fric-
tion between Arab and Jew I
believe that, below the soil, there
is a better side of the story to be
told. It seems to me that some
of the current Hebrew music in
Palestine has a kind of Arab note
to it—and I do not doubt that
Arabs have profited in a great
