THE sIAMEsE GIRL.
She Smokes Cigarettes from a Very
Tender Age.


Tender Age.
From the moment OF her birth a
Siamese girl is treated with less con.
sideration than a boy. For several
years after quitting the realms OF
"babyland" she dresses very slightly
indeed Il refer more particularly to the
lower classes, though the rule applies
more or less generality. Next she
adopts the sarong, or waist cloth, and
on top of this is placed a bright-col'
ored scarf of considerable length and
breadth, which is customarily crossed
and recrossed over the breast and un'
der the arms, says the Gentleman
Magazine. These two garments con-
stitute the whole of a Siamese girls
wearing apparel unless she chance 10
wear scanty vest of linen. Rings ana
bracelets are inevitable, provided she
be OF class enough to afford them and
in few cases the costume is finished
on with a flimsy pair of slippers, into
which the stockingless feet are thrust.
The average Siamese girl is an inyet-
crate smoker Of cigarettes from very
tender age. When quite a baby, too,
she. in common with the rest Of the
population, is taught to chew the lear
and nut" of the betel palm-at least
she does not require to be taught

the serious business OF either entering
the palace or getting married. But II
It be the latter, the marriage in Sia-
mese middle and upper class life is
the most elaborate function that an
English girl could imagine.
