acted as a guard TO keep back crowds.
The church, IF which Father Leo was
pastor, was filed all night with women
who prayed for the repose OF his soul

Eastern standards of beauty differ,
like the customs, from those of the
west. In Malacca, we are told, the
small waist and velvet eyes do not
count but instead the length of the
neck is the criterion of beauty. The

IS fitted with a metal collar, which
compels her to keep her head erect, and
as she grows the collar is increased ia
size, and by this means the neck is

fore the Introduction of typesetting
