Passing through the Bab Aguenacu one comes to the ancient mosque of the Kasbab. The bread space. in front of the mosque is generally deserted except for a beggar or twa and a few fascinating native, children with a long lock of hair hanging from their heads, grown to give the Angel of Death a good hold when he bails them away to Paradise. The minaret of the mosque has a real fascination. It has not the graceful préportions of the Kutabis Tower, and it stands squat and four-square to all the winds that blaw, the memorial of a ́sturdy' warrior race. Round the top of the tower, there runs a broad band of those glorious turquoise tiles that are one of the beauties of the Kutubia, and the arabesque brick pattern that covers the surface of each will encloses masses of turquoise enamel almost 2.0. B, 620. in the shape of the Fleur-de-Lys, They are said in reality to represent the hand of Fatma, the sovereign remedy against the evil eye.

The atmosphere, impregnated with the dunt of Marrakesh, is a rosy pink, and everything shines with just such a pink glow as Hes on the Alpine snows at sunset. Of the Badi Palace not a trace remains except a few piles of brickwork. Yet once it was all inlaid with plaques of gold, and as rich in painted wood and carved stucen as the tombs that still remain.

Out of the brilliant rosy light one! plunges into the dim religious gloom of the tombs of the mighty Sultan who, coming from the South at a time when the Moham medan religion had fallen into decadence, restored the purity of the faith, When the eyes bare grown senstomed to the half light: the magnificence of the scene makes the visitar literally gasp for breath. One's first thought is that it cannot be the work of man. Every little detail is elaborated as conscientiously and with such delicacy that one cannot believe that humanity can be responsible for the result. Roofs richly painted with gilded stalactite work, stucco carved with all the delicate intricacy of lace, above all marble columns of perfect! grace provide a fitting resting place for those forgotten rulers. The tombs of the Imperial family, wedges of marble thickly encrusted with finely worked inscriptions, lie so close together that it is hard to avoid profaning them with the touch of a Chris ian's foot. Every now and then a blank marble shows that it covers the tomb of some, favourite wife, .and smaller stones mark the grave of those who were cut off in babyhood. Of them all, men, women, and babies, native tradition says that not a single one died a natural death.

The greatest glory of those tombs is the perfection of the marble columns which blend perfectly, with the mathematical pre- cision of the Moorish decoration, though they came from Italy, purchased by the Golden Sultan for their weight in sugar, The deeply fretted stucco is worked at such an angle that the observer standing on the grounding always gazes into the very heart of the design. The Sa'adi tombs surpass all that remains to us of Moorish art, if one excepts the Mosque of Cordoba.
