that worn by natives of most OF the south
sea islands and the Indian archipelago, as
well as the southern countries of Asia. 1t is
called by the Malays the sarong.
But tie Samoan girl has been out in the
world more or less of late years The tour
lists from other countries have visited Samoa,
so the natural beauty of the Samoan girl is
being spoiled by her great vanity. She not
only spends great deal of her time in beau
tifying herself, but she adopts such incon-
gruous combinations as fine mat lava-lava
and ball gown waist or velvet basque cut
V-necked, her hair done up empire style and
wearing, to complete her toilet, a string OF
ferns around her waist and a necklace of
the inevitable sharks teeth about her bronze
throat.
Her arms and limbs are bare. She has
seen shoes, but she prefers to be comfortable.
She also refuses stockings, contrary to the
Samoan warrior, who, 1t Is told, marched
with his comrades in battle array wearing
pair of opera length silk hose, the soles of
which were worn completely off These had
no doubt been given to him by some Euro
pean travellers.
Although the Samoan girl does not wear
clothes, properly speaking, she is taught
while still very young to embroider and
eew.
The hairpins worn in her hair are beautiful
in their workmanship. They are made cut of
the wood of the cocoanut tree and are carved
with a dead cocoanut leaf. This is most
delicate work.
The girls are taught to swim when babies
They are graceful and readily learn TO dance
AS people the Samoans are great dancers
and during their holiday season they dance
day and night. They are also fond of music
and have native instruments which they beat
to strange rhythmic music, not altogether
beautiful, but harmonious,
The marriage OF the Samoan girl is ar
ranged by her parents. The girl never thinks
of having any opinion of her own on the sub
ject, but accepts the parents decision as in
evitable This does not prevent her from
having any number of admirers before or
after marriage which seems to be another
matter entirely. She Is far more interesting
in her native costumes, pursuing the Gus
tomary life Of her own people, than when she
tries to ape the foreigners who visit her
beautiful tropical country to admire her in
all her native simplicity and beauty

GIRL OF SAMOA A CoauErrE.
Shn rIs's Teeth Necklace shows Num-
kcr nf LOyNrs.

Sharks Teeth Necklace shows Num-
bcr Os Lovers.
Coquetry is not only the strong armor OF
the white woman, but belongs as well TO the
dueky daughters of less civilized tribes.
The girl of Samoa is a born coquette, full
OF romance and natural grace. Her usual
costume Is a necklace of sharks teeth, some
metal earrings and short skirt The num-
ber OF sharks teeth in her necklace is the
measure Of her popularity among her ad-
mirers. The mere teeth the greater the
belle.
From the time she is 10 years of age she
begins to make eyes from behind a beauti-
fully carved fan. AS usual with coquettes,
she is tickle in the extreme. as we'll as ro-
mantle. Her nature Is as fierce as that of the
warriors of her country, and she is thor
oughly trained athlete as we'll. She is skill
full in the use Of arms and Is cruel and re-
lentless in war. She is equal in strength to
many of the Samoan warriors.
For dress occasions the older Samoan girls
wear the same costume as man. This is a
kilt or piece of drapery wound about the
waist in manner which seems to foreigner
nothing short of miraculous. This is called
lava-lava a sort Of mat material. A mere
scrap of it wound about the waist of child
is considered dress sufficient. Ordinarily the
children wear no garments whatever. The
drapery is Of the same general character as

are the fastening.
There are new graceful models in both
1Ne and seven-gored skirts, the backs cut
to conform to the latest manner of adjust
ing certain amount of fulneSs at the back
in one very deep boX-plait, in two mar
rover ones, or In a number of long tuCkS
or French shirrings very closely massed.
Just about one woman in 500 appears to
have screwed her courage up to the point
of purchasing and wearing a long-tailed
made that the loveliest figure is utterly lost
and forgotten when swathed in one of these
bed gowned shaped affairs.
Apple green rich shade of reddish
plum color, rose color and jet black Velvcts
are much en- evidence as accessories on
evening toilets of cream or ivory-white
satin, crepe de chine or net over taffeta
silk. The velvet decorations are almost
covered with cut-work in satin point
applique lace.
Some of the more expensive woolen 1rcss
fabrics are so woven as to give an effect
of a surface alternately plain and corded
the heavy reps looking like a tiny tuck
taken in the cloth as narrow as it could
be stitched, although no stitching is visi-
ble This material is used for entire cos
tunes, jackets and Capes.
1t has already been discovered that the
pipings and applique designs arranged on
fancy capes and jackets cut and wear
badly and give the garment a worn appear
ance before it's time. This applies not alone
to the medium, but the higher-priced
wraps decorated But where roll of
silk braid outlines the applique designs
this trouble seems to be averted.

with rose brocade and point lace and her
toilet articles are all of gold, with diamond
monograms. The chairs are of white enamel,
upholstered in pink. Her boudoir is a darker
rose, with mahogany furniture. On the walls
are framed photographs of dear friends tho
majority being Americans, and cut flowers
abound Why not, with sixty-hve gardeners
working all the year around?

WOmIdn't Wenr a Dunknrh HOnnet.

Miss May oller, prominent young woman
OF Waynesboro, Pa, who lately returned
from a trip to the Holy Land, has been eX-
PEELED from the Antietam German Baptist
church of that place for disregarding the
conventional plain bonnet OF the Dunkards
for a pretty creation of the milliner's art
At IL meeting of the church authorities In
July Miss Oller was notified that she must
return to the wearing of the bonnet and that
she would be given until October to put away
her hat She wrote the church, asking an
extension OF time The congregation at q
meeting a few days ago took the matter up.
Although the defense was set forth that the
annual meeting Of the denomination had
made the wearing OF a hat or bonnet dis
cretionary Miss oilers expulsion was or
dered by large majority.
Rows, J, b. Ruthrauf and John oelg,
young minister's insisted that the church's
traditions must be upheld, while Miss Oh
ler's brothers stood out against expulsion
Miss oller and her friends will appeal to the
annual meeting. Miss oller is now visiting
In New York She is daughter Of the late
