Cairo school headmistress and hadji on the balcony of her school; janitor sweeping beyond her. The headmistress wears a peaceful, mellow expression, as she has just returned from Mecca. Her white scarf and drapery indicate this, though in the bright sunlight she must be very hot. At the other end of the balcony, a subordinate, female servant sweeps the floor, her back turned to us.
