Hospitality may be considered as one
Of the characteristics of not only the
Feis. but of the whole African race. 1t
is considered the duty of every citizen
to entertain strangers without the
smallest compensation. Places of rest
stand always open. and when these
are found occupied by strangers man
goes and tells his wife, who will send
her servants with water for the stran-
gers to wash their feet, for, as they
wear no shoes, they naturally need
such an accommodation. Afterward
rooms and cloth wrappers are given
them, food Is brought from all quar-:
ters or they are invited to eat with
the people. They continue to he so

Their. garments are also washed and
returned to them. On leaving they
generally make a small gift to the
wife Of the host, though not more than
two or three cola nuts or two or three
