SAMOAN fashions IN TATTooING.-Scarec,
ly youth Of seventeen is 10 bs found among
Sam0ans who is not claboratc'y tattooed. Can
dlenut ashes and water are used for coloring
matter. That part Of the body from the waist
to the knee is covered with varicgated pattern
that at short distance resembles lacewOIk.
The operation consumes two or three months,
and the operator is very exacting about his pay.
When he gets half through he demands h is re.
compensc, and if it is not forthcoming he re-
fuses to finish the work. A young mau is in
deep disgrace if ho goes about half tattooed.
The girls laugh at him ard tho men scorn him.
The process is very painful, and the victims arc
dieted while undergoing it. Some become
mere skeletons before they are completed, but
it is the fashion, and they are repaid by the ad-
miring gances of the women. The g3uter SEX
are rarely tattooed. Sometimes delicate gar
ter is seen twinng around tho leg, sometimes
an armlct, or strawberry design in tho middle
of the back, but such instances are rare.
