One Of the queercst customs OF the
gentle Samoans was the cause Of a
great deal Of embarrassment 70 party
OF San Franclscoans a short time ago
while the tourists were sojournlng IN
the sunny land made famous by the
pen OF Robert Louis Stevenson. When
a person OF moro than ordinary i'm
portance Is entertained by Samoan
chief II Il the lnvarlable custom TO per-
form the sacred ceremony of chewing
the kava and Offering the liquid to the
guest OF honor. When the party Ia
seated in the chiefs abode three or
four Of the prettiest girls In the VIII
lage are called into the room and seat
ed tailor-fashion IN a half-circle facing
the one who Is being entertained. All
belng ready the chief hands each OF
the girls a quantity Of kava nuts. a
product Of the island much resembling
the betel nut. and they fall TO chewing
them with all the energy OF strong
jaws and perfect teeth. This operation
ls repeated again and again. until a
sufficient quantity Of the kaya has
been accumulated. Then water Is
brought In and the juice diluted until
Il suits the fancy OF the chief.
Only unmarried women are permit
ted TO chew the kava nut. the Samoan
belief being that unless mastlcated by
virgins the nut loses its best proper
ties. Al last the brew-lf such Il may
be called-ls ready. and the chief takes
mp a quantity In a cocoanut-shell cup
and hands q to the guest Of the oc-
casion.
Wee hetlde him n be refuses Il. for
this Is the most serious breach Of eil-
quette that can happen In a Samoan
household. and should the cup not be
drained 10 the last drop the taboo is
put upon him from that moment The
guest must drink with as much de-
corum as the chief employs IN passing
the cup. The effect Of kava Is a. queer

iirst drink produces no effect beyond,
