which makes her look like a walking bundle,
and in front Of her face she arranges a large
black scarf, embroidered with blue, red and
white flowers. 1t falls low in front, and
even by holding up the ends she cannot see
moro than a foot or two OF the road before

run over when she goes out alone, for l am
sure she needs a dog to guide her quite as
much as any blind man.
Servants and other women of the lower
classes wear pieces Of black crepon wound
tightly round their faces, leaving just a slit
for their eyes to peep through, and they
are equally mufled up in white draperies.
Seen from a distance they might be men,
with masks or thick black boards, as in
Arab countries 1t is by no means easy to tell
a man from a woman at first sight. The older
and uglier a woman is the more prudish she
seems to be about covering UP her face,
which, after all, is rather considerate on her
part. Even the greater number of negresses
wear the yashmak, but the Bedouin women
never do. Indeed, l am told that in the in

wear wells and whose women go about with

nary height, to find himself followed by an
admiring throng Of unobtrusively obtrusive
natives, worshipping in silence.
Neither sex is overburdened with clothes.
The common dress for both men and women
is the already mentioned lava-lava, a kind
of kilt or piece of drapery wound about the
waist in a manner whose adjustment seems
to foreigners nothing short OF miraculous.
The adults, however. seem to have no
difaculty in keeping the lava-lava in
place, but the children are less expert and
careful Of theirs and often lose the scant
scrap Of cotton stuff that serves as an out
of-door costume. Children of all ages in
doors, and babies in arms everywhere, wear
no clothing at all. This kind of garment
OF drapery, perhaps, would be a better word

OUT FOR FREEDOM AND FUN.

"Open window Club" Formed by Pro-
gressive Cuban Girls.
Cuban women have organized a little So
cial revolution of their own, relates a cor
respondent in Havana, and have taken a
stand against the rigid and absurd customs
which have held them down for generations.
A number of progressive Cuban girls, most
of whom suffered deeply before the war
and who have been political exiles and who
have known the terrors of persecution
these are the ones who have banded them
selves together and formed what they call
TT Open Window club and they are
enjoying for the first time in their lives
a taste of real freedom and an atmosphere
such as the American girl has been brought
up in and which has made her ideal. The
name 'Open Window has almost a pa
thetic significance. 1t means that the in
door and balcony life, which Cuban women
once led, will be radically changed. At
one time, not so far distant, the Cuban
girl never appeared on the street, even be-
fore noon, without a chaperon. The duenna
was absolutely necessary even on little
shopping expeditions. She rarely ever
went driving because it was conspicuous
and because driving is considered a great
luxury in this part Of the world. The Cuban
girl had no clubs for amusement or social
Improvement. She had no books to read.
Athletics We're considered unwomanly. She
remained constantly in her room, or in the
large family reception room, sewing or en-
bordering and spending a little time at
the piano with incompetent teachers. Those
who were fortunate enough to be sent to
a convent broadened out somewhat intel
l~ectually and learned to Speak French and
Italian and to read German and English II
not to speak 1t.
The Open Window club Is the outcome
of the rebellion among the women. 1t has
been organized on most progressive lines
and in time will be the Sorosis of this
island. 1T is broad in scope and will devote
itself to charity, to intellectual pursuits,
to athletics and to society. Its name is sig
nifcant. For once as they languished in
doors behind closed shutters, now their
lives are open to the sunshine and the real
activities of life.
1t is said that the membership of the
Open Window club Is now about 100. 1t
is growing, however. for the Cuban girl
yearns to be emancipated, and she feels
that the new order of things will bring it.
There are scores Of Cuban girls who come
out together and promenade at night with
out chaperons. There are always two to-
gether, and they promenade along the
Prado until 10 o'clock. This is freedom
which even an American girl of good So
ciety cannot practice without risk to her
good name. Two girls will promenade with
Omaha daily bee., 1899-07-09

two men Of their acquaintanceship, and
then all four will repair to a cafe and get
ices until a late hour. This is not consid-
cred indiscreet. nor improper, because the
cafes of the Prado are crowded until l
o'clock in the morning. Night is the play
time for Cubans because the heat of the
day forbids too great activity in any way.
Organized charitable work has been a
commendable outcome of the Open Window
club. The poorer districts are visited and
cases of restitution are reported to the
authorities. The sewing circle of the club
is kept constantly busy making clothes for
women and children. Several musical en-
tertainments haye been given recently to
raise funds for this work and to give their
charities a material value.
There is a musical group that devotes
itself to the study OF the classics and sew
eral of the members are fine pianists and
good vocalists. Their meetings are in the
form OF muslcales for their own advance
! ment.
The literary group studies English and
reads French masterpieces and discusses
the latest French novels. They are pro-
crossing excellently in English. and there
are only a few Cuban women in the capital
who DO not know some English and fewer
still who cannot understand the language
when spoken.

f%essional diver, who is well known along
the Long Island Sound coast. Miss Hattie
Smith has pondered long upon the problem
how to gain her education in music. At last
1t came upon her like a flaeh. AT 10 she had
gone to the bottom of the sound, having
leased her father into consent.
The idea struck her so forcibly that she
ran to her father and preached her plan Of
giving diving exhibitions at the summer re-
sorts. So 1t happened that one day recently
Captain Smith, his daughter and a reporter
boarded the sloop Whistler for a run out Of
Bridgeport harbor to a point a mile
south of Bridgeport lighthouse. The water
there is from thirty to forty feet deep.
At the point of diving Miss Smith pre-
pared for her visit to Neptune's basement.
She dressed especially for the occasion,
thereby robbing Neptune of the pleasure
Of seeing a girl with a shapely head covered
by black hair, set upon a beautiful neck and
shoulders. Her dark eyes flashed determine

nucleus OF an armored mermaid was made

in the cabin. In a few minutes Miss Smith
reappeared, dressed in a black waist, black
silk boomers and low shoes. Her father
had her armor ready and the girl was soon
clad in iron with leaden shoes.
A seventy-five pound helmet was dropped
over the girls head and screwed fast to the
neckband of her rubber suit. An eighty
pound leaden belt was hung from the lower
part of the helmet and strapped around her
waist. The top of the helmet was screwed
fast and the young diver was ready for her
dry bath.
For a time the girl stood on the ladder
fastened to the side of the boat while her
father attached the window through which
she was to see the fish and the flora OF the
sea. The rubber tube was fastened to the
top of the helmet and the man at the pump
began his supply Of oxygen. Slowly the girl
sank from sight, her course being marked
by air bubbles.
The signal line gave a slight twitch when
the girl reached the bottom of the sound.
1t was a sign that she was all right. Five
minutes passed and then three pulls on the
rope gave the signal that the girl wanted to
return to the surface. When Miss Smith
stood on the deck again and the big helmet
was taken from her head her face was as
red as a peony. She was told Of her bushes
and replied:
'As long as I do not get black in the face
it's all right"
Then she retired to the cabin and ten min
utes later she stood again on deck in her
| street clothes.
This is my first dive this summer" she
said. at took a good deal of teasing to get
papa to consent, but l intend to get my
musical education from the sea shells"
Captain Smith will accompany his daugh-
ter when she gives her exhibitions. She will
be the first woman to add this entertainment
to the summer resorts. She has natural
musical talents, but her parents have not
the financial ability to crafty her ambition.
In future years the audiences which listen
TO Mics Smith-1who will then have a stage
name-will not suspect that the diva was
once a diver.

Her work consists of taking pictures of Grim

to appreciate the possibilities of changing
this appearance by a different arrangement
of the hair or another style of hirsute deco
ration, photographs have fallen somewhat in

In spite Of tho simplicity Of national attire

worn by all. both sexes alike-the Samoans
spend a great deal Of their time in beautify-
mig themselves, relates the San Francisco
Chronicle. The body is creased with cocoa
nut oil and the hair is often plastered with
white lime and reached up pompadour style,
giving 1t when dry the effect Of the judicial
wig worn by English barristers. This m
is washed off at night and renewed from day
to day. The result is a gradual change in
the color of the hair, which, in undergoing
the bleaching process, passes from a coarse
coal black, through brick red to a bright
yellow. The effect of this brilliant con-
trast with their shiny copper skins is gro
tesque in the extreme, but in their eyes
surprising by beautiful.
No Samoan belle of my circle of acquaint-
ance would use such a torture and unnatural
d~eformity as stays and corsets to make her
sylphlike and willowy, though she Is quite
ready to puncture her nose to wear a Jew

their pride, and a mass OF yellow, sponge
like stuff carefully tied up on top OF their
heads Is the envy OF every one for miles
around-"a thing OF beauty and a Joy for

there is the same attention to neatness OF
appearance as in the rest of the factory,
the girls being scrupulously clean and
tastefully dressed. Neatness is taken as an
evidence of intelligence, and no slovenly
girl could find a place in the flature. The

superseded by a record of measurements,
thumb marks and such things. 1t will prob
ably not happen in Mrs. Morrison's day,
however, and she has little fear on that score
Of losing her job.
She has a studio specially fitted up for her
work at the top of the headquarters build
ing and the prisoners are brought. to her
under guard. She has been particularly sue
cessful in getting them to sit quietly and al
low her to photograph them with no
more trouble than any ordinary sitter would
give. Men who have hitherto done this work
have nearly always had great difficulty in
getting good pictures because the sitters
would twist and turn and screw their faces
up. Sometimes 1t was only after the guard
had dubbed them into a proper frame of
mind that they could be persuaded to allow
the photographer to get a proper focus at
all. 1t may be Mrs. Morrison's personality
or that whatever good is left in the most har-
dened criminals responds to the polite femi-
nine variation of the request to look pleas
ant.
After such a pleasant account of her sue
cess with her pictures it seems a pity not
to be able to say that the financial end of
the business is equally successful. There is
no danger that Mrs. Morrison will grow rich
as a result of her official labors. To be sure,
SO or 81 a day in addition to your income

Mrs. Morrison feels very happy over her new
post. She fitted up the studio at headquar-
tiers at her own expense and she is paid az
the rate Of 81 a dozen for all the photographs
she takes. She makes a dozen copies from
each negative. One of these is regularly
posted in the rogues' gallery with the record
of the original written on the back. The
others are kept for use in identifying sus-
picious persons. For instance, IL the police
