Jaffa is a place that has come down in the world. Ohcie it was the main port of Palestine. In those days it. was a busy; commercial centre with mat\y wealthiy homes, and was the natural centre of administration for the area. But now the port has been closed, and Jaffa has become a poor neighborhood: just a very old town on the Mediterranean coast of Israel, set beside modern, bustling Tel Aviv. A place of small traders, family workshops and dealers in secondhand articles.
Jaffa's second-hand market is one of the most intriguing bazaars in the Middle East, for it is one where you can get a specially fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of other people's yesterdays. For Israel, set astride the world's cross-
roads, is the Asia, Europe meet.

The first. Jews to arrive in Palestine were the Russians, seeking a free Jewish life, away from Tsarist persecution. Later, 'bther Jew s came, especially Germans and Austrians fleeing from Hitler's persecution. The Russians have now parted with their samovars. The Russians are stilV here arid they .still drink a lot of tea. Only domestic habits have changed.

in 1917 the British came.. The First World War resulted in> the destruction of the Ottoman Empire. The British had driven out the Turks, but the future of the area remained a big question-mark. The League of Nations entrusted Britain with a mandate to rule. So, the British came back to Palestine, not as conquerors or as settlers, but as administrators. All these people brought with theim their goods and chiat-tels, their equipment and their culture. The discairded items describe them more vividly than any words.
The Turks have left coffee-tables, decorated with their crescent and star. The Ottoman Empire was once administered frpm these coffee-tables. Turkish rule has always been described las ruthless, corrupt and sinister; but atleastithadsome qualities of elegance andre^ finement. And it was leisurely. An Eastern people them-selvesj they knew the time-lessness of the East. There was no set hour for their coffee. They drank it all day.
And now their coffee-tables are for sale in Jaffa's market. The c<rffee-tables are still quite usefiil and usable, but as the decor has a political significance the price would be low.
The Arabs were always a poor people in the main, and DANSVIlLfe. jl. still are. They cannot afford to discard anything much. Their legacy is rather in certain styles and beliefs. The beads, for in^-stance, in the pattern of the human eye, which are believed to ward off "the evil eve". These would look smart on quite a few occasions, and they sell well. So do the other Arab beads, in an incredibly bright, crude blue. These are rough in shape and the craftsmen will
