FASHION IN FIJI
1t Gives as Much Concern to the Ladies' There
as Elsewhere

as Elsewhere
St. Paul's: Fijian women have most
| affectionate disposition, although like
all semi-civilized people, they are ex-
tremely sensitive and ready to take offense
at the veriest trite. Their skins are usual
ly of dark brown color. sm Doth and glossy
as polished marble and many, while
young possess handsome features and
most symmetrical forms; but, unfortu-
nately. their natural grace speedily dis
appears after marriage-at least, among
the common people. who have no attend
ants to relieve them in the heavier duties
of the household. While unmarried, their
hair. plcturesquely adorned with hibiscus
and other flowers, is permitted to fall in
thin plaits dc wn the back of the neck.
This is regarded as sign of maidenhood.
After marriage the plaits are cut off, and
not allowed to be worn again.
In Suva and Levuka the women gen.
orally wear a blouse-shaped pinafore OF
thin white cotton. but in their homes or
the interior districts they are content
from the bark of the native mulberry
tree. and wrapped two or three time s
around the body. The manufacture Of
this cloth. called tarpa. is one of the
leading industries in Fiji. the bark beng
| beaten with wooden mallets into thin
SneFts, Which are loiHeu toeetncT as re-
quired. When taking part in the mckee
meke. or native dance, the girls wear a
short. thick petticoat of dried grass,
adorned with black and yellow tappa
streamers, the bodies remaining bare
from tt waist upward. The hair is dec
grated with flowers, and frequently frizzed
and plated in a fashion somewhat re.
sem bling that depicted in Assyrian sculp-
lures.
Most of the chiefs and their wives are
extremely particular concerning the cloth
ing of their offspring. the girls usually
wearing white cotton pinafores. or blouses,
over colored cotton petticoat. The
families OF the higher class OF chiefs pos
sess a somewhat aristocratic cast OF fea-
lures. This is especially noticeable in the
descendants of King Thakombau.
Among these is his granddaue hter the
Princess Ada. who possesses many of the
intellectual characteristics of the deceased
monarch. Her attire, as becomes mem
ber of the Fijian royal family. is some
what more elaborate than that generally
| worn. and consists of thin silk bodice
of some light C, lof, edged with ment-
al ribbon. and a calico pettcoat over
a pair of loose calico trousers-a costume
admirably adapted to the FIjian climate.

thing to sell. and the debts would be
mostly collected. But why talk of coni-
pulsion ii their assertions are correct?
The fact is they know better. They are
working in the interest of a bi-slvcr stan
darl; that is all the "b" there is to H.
We are the bimetallists. In addition
to our gold we have rs much silver as
gold, and more silver than all of the fol-
lowing countries combined: Great Brit-
am, Ireland, Germany. Italy. Austria.
Hungary, Russia. Egypt, Scandinavia,
Australia, South America. Central Am
erica, Mexico. Canada. Cuba and the West
Indies. We are keeping this S624 900. 600
OF silver at par with gold which many OF
the bsilver countries are not doing
having nothing but silver and paper
based on silver.
There is great cry among the silver
ties about the fraud as they term it OF
1873. Now silver free Coinage was prac-
tically stopped in 1868. There had been
coined in the sixty years OF 1793 to 1893
about ~, 800. 900 silver dollars, but they
had nearly all lett the country. Since
1853 there has not been as much silver
coined for private account during the
forty-two years as was purchased in one
month uder the Sherman act. namely
4500. 900 ounces. Although from 1858 to
1878 there was mined in this United
States $4,000. 600 ounces. they would not
take twenty ifth part of their silver to
the mint and let the government coin it
for them. Why? Because it was worth
more money as bullion. and it was sold
to private parties. They want it so ar
ranged that the government shall coin it
for them when the price is below the
coinage ratio, but when it is above the
coinage ratio they can sell it in the best
market. An arrangement OF that kind
would be good for cotton, wheat. corn,
why give is exclusively to silver?
Under free coinage, goods of all descrip-
tions. labor. rents, taxes, ETC.. will no
doubt advance in price. If SO cents
worth of silver is made legal tender for
dollar, after one or two years the prin-
cipal sufferers will be old people, widows
and children who have fixed incomes
from investments. pensions. and others
receiving stated amount which cannot
be easily advanced. The private debts
owing to capitalists Will pc collected in
good season; but those who have their
small savings in savings banks will find
the value of their savings sadly dimin-

Beginning with 1160 we find the price
OF silver steadily declining on account of
the production of silver. as COM
pared with gold until 1s4S-notwiths tand
ing the fact that India was helping to
sustain the price by taking hundreds
of millions of silver. The price fell Is
cents per ounce. Then came the Califor-
mia and Australia gold fields, the proper
tions were changed and silver in eleven
years went up 10 cents per ounce. Again
gold fell off and the supply OF silver in
creased, with the inevitable result of de-
cline in silver, being in 1892 81 cents less
per ounce than in 1859, and 50 cents per
ounce less than in 1860.

In q few minutes he reappeared deter mi

lack hesitation. He stared about him
Until he espIed line of persons making
deposits at the receiving teller's window,
and at the foot OF the line he took his
place. AS one after another of the custo-
mers made his deposits and departed the
little old fellow drew nearer and nearer
to the window. and at each advance his
uneasness increased and his courage de-
parted. When almost to the goal he
turned abruptly. wagging his head in a
deprecatory sort of way. and again took q
place at the tail end of the line he had
climbed so patiently. A second time he
approached the window by slow degrees
and second time he turned away when
his hopes were about to be realized. The
third time he toiled up that ever varying
line and it was apparent that this time
he would do or uie.
Only two men stood between him and
the teller, and he shifted restlessy from
one foot to the other. Only one man
now kept him from the counter and his
agitation increased. That one man
turned away.
