An article in The Times yesterday after
noon on the coal famine in Europe is
worthy of most careful consideration. The

roads.

SAMOAN BELLIES GOWNS.
They Grow on Trees aud Are Almost
Ready for Use when
Gathered.

Party gowns for Samoan girls grow
on the tropical trees and almost ready
for wear, says the indianapolis News.
When a native beauty Of Samoa decides
TO go TO a special entertainment she
enters the forest to look for her gala
attire. The native kili, or kilt. is the
only addition to her ordinary costume
that the Samoan girl provides for spe-
cial parties. The material for the XIII
grows on the tree. 1t consists of a rib
bon Of bark a few inches wide that is
stripped from the tree easily. While
damp the bark, which is very thin. is
crinkled so as to form wavy outlines.
and the ribbons are colored all sorts
Of bright hues. The Samoan girl then
pIaits a waistband from the same kind
Of bark and hangs the ribbons on H.
Handmade flowers of the same material
are often added also.
When the kiki is completed the dusIrv
belle puts it on over her scauty laval
ava, or waist cloth. and goes to the
dance or other entertainment. The
girls thus make their own marty
dresses, and some Of them show great
taste and skill in fashioninr the old
garments, although the captious might
allege that they might. without being
oYercressed, have Samoa on.
