ALGIERS Algiers is not a city to be described, since the stealth and intrigue which is the essence of its atmosphere is not a tangible thing but is subtly suggestive of the ethereal.

Their thrill was a party given by the Damato com- plete with toys, cake and ice cream. For some of the Arab children it was a new experience because they had never eaten ice cream be- fore. The expressions of happiness on their faces gave proof of the success of the party. Their Navy hosts were Lieutenant G. T. Boyd, Squadron Chaplain and Bob Dayton, a mem- ber of our Welfare and Recreation Com- mittee.
