al Beauty and AdOrnment.
Like the Siamcse. the Karen wo-
men are not good 10 look upon and
do not improve their appearance any
by the style OF ornaments they affect.
When very young their ears are
pierced 10 admit n small round stick.
which is gradually lacerated in diam
etcr until by the time the little girls
have become women their ears easily
accommodate two inch disk OF
blackened bamboo. This stretches the
ears hfleously. as may be imagined.
and when the ornament is laid aside
temporarily picture the thin
strip OF pendent ear lobe, AS a rule.
the Karen women wear their hair
long, but. like the Siamese, some cut
IL short and others again keep in crop
ped close. except on top OF the head,
where It is allowed TO grow TO its nat
ural length, which does not add TO
their 10y no means Overabundance OF
good looks. Sometimes the unmarried
woman wears a breast cloth. but for
the most part men and women wear
loln girdle, and sometimes even that

To thoroughly appreciate Japanese
women one should begin the far east

girl 10 the alleged Japanese beauty.
Bracelets and necklaces OF bamboo
are the other usual ornaments, except
when they can afford narrow neck
band Of silver, which protects. so Il IS
believed. against many evils that lurk
along LIES wayside. even IN the Jun
gle. The men also wear this neck
band and bamboo an inch in diameter
and about four inches long stuck
through their ear lobes. Some Of the
boys are rather good looking They
wear their hair In knot like a horn
on the forehead or at one side or the
other OF the head or on top. and usual

deal from the SiameSe in physiognomy.

False Faces

''What becomes Of all the false
faces?" asked the city salesman. WHO
wears them? There are lots Of them
made. \ trip on the elevated roads
gives peeps into many doors where doz-
ems Of workmen do nothing year in
and year out but make false faces.
The output must be sufficient TO en-
able the entire population 10 so about
dressed for continuous carnival on
Thanksgiving and few other fete
days masks are In demand. but the
rest of the time most of us are CON
tent to show our natural cOuntenances.
That comparatively light local trade,
even when swelled 10y the year round
trade Of small shops In populous dis
tricts. leaves a tremendous quantity OF
false faces to be accounted for

hot chase. Near the outskirts of the
city an automobile happened along
