Another lnstalIment OF Charles Henry
Wissner's Articles.
MALAYS ARE OF SHORT STATURE
Women as a Rule are OF an Attractive Ap.
pearance. Peculiar Dress OF Natives.
Their Food, Habits, &c.

We have neglected to describe
the general appearance of the
Malays. They areof short stature
and while not very stout muscular
and well developed. The women
are as rule very attractive IN ap-
pearance, neat in dress and what
the traveller would class as beau
tiful. Their motions are very
graceful and as has been well said
every mOvem ent Of their bodies
is "the very poetry of motion. "
The women of all the tribes
wear the same loose flowing
skirts, either of black, red or
white. The bodice is separate
from the skirt and has long puff
ed sleeves. The material used in
the manufacture Of the skirt and
bodice is generally jose or pima
cloth. The former is com bina
tion Of silk and the finer tibers of
the hemp plant while the latter
Is composed of the delicate fibers
of the pine apple plant.
The men wear their hair cut
short a la pompadour while the
women wear theirs flowing long
and loose down their backs.
The holiday attire of the men
is a kind of white cotton goods
stif1iy starched, and consists of
trousers, coat, and straw hat.
Sometimes a shirt is worn, but
in that case the shirt is worn cut
side of the trousers, and the coat
is left off. Shoes are the signs
of wealth, and are made OF can.
vas tops with leather soles and
low heels. Shoes are so much
the sign of wealth in the Islands
that of at least one steamship
company it is said that the fare
is conditioned upon the fact OF
the passengers wearing shoes or
not. The ladies wear a loose slip
per about the house, consisting
of piece of cloth reaching from
the instep to the toe, with thin
piece of leather for the SOLE
