BROUGHT FROM THE ORIENT
Practice Of Tattoolng Originated In
the East, Probably as a Means Of
Characterization.

! The practice of tattooing the human
skin is most widely in vogue among
the Japanese, the Burmans and the
Maoris. In India, too. the practice ia
widespread.
The art" If so it may be called is
Of Polynesian origin. the root of the
word being .'ta," meaning ito strike /"
suggested by the primitive method of
tattooing, which was by beating into
the flesh a finely-pointed bone dipped
in some mixture that left an indelibie
mark.
Generally speaking, among the peo-
pies by whom it is most employed, tat
tooing is held to be significant of man
hood, although it is practiced by wom-
en- as a means of ornamentation. II
seems to be the unanimous opinion OF
the writer's on the subject that the pri-
mary object of tattooing was a desire
to attract the opposite sex, although
this does not exclude motives related
to ceremonies and religion
In India tattooing is supported by
divine sanction, for the god Visbnu
tattooed the arm of Lakshmi with the
figure OF his weapons and the sun. tho
moon and the tulsi plants as a protac.
ton for her while he was engaged In
distant wars with troublesome de-
mons. He also promised that all the
faithful who wore these same marks
on their arms should be protected
from all evil influences.
Since the operation is most pain
full enc, 1t is not usual In countries
where the practice obtains to a great
extent to tattoo any but the parts
where the skin is tough, the order of
preference appearing to be. first. the
forehead, then the junction OF the eve
brows. then the cheeks. chin and
shoulders, and then the arms and
back of the hands.

windy days. smoke from q stove set
against the chimney on either side
would issue down the fiue into the
stove In the adjacent room. And
sometimes. too. II any one listened at
the sheet iron. one could hear words
spoken upon the other side.
When Frank Barton and Ida Norris
were children they had played at this
game; but that was long ago. The
intimacies Of the old house were not
evoked by childish play any more.
Both were immeasurably old-each
was twenty.
The double house stood in a small
town. just such a town as may be seen
almost anywhere in New England,
neither rich nor poor, and proud Of
its history. Greenfield folks prided
themselves on being ordinary Ameri-
cans. Immigration had hardly
touched them, for there was only one
factory. and the French Canadian
hands had something of the colonial
tradition about them.
The Bartons and the Norrises had
lived there for fifteen years, and had
known each other for fifty. Sometimes
the elders looked at each other from
their opposite sides of the double pi-
azza and smiled. when the boy came
home. carrying the girls schoolbooks
for her. while she stepped at his side
with all the assurant ownership that
= small girl feels for her childish
sweetheart.
But that was years before. The
change of adolescence had set a bar
rier between the young peoples lives.
Frank was In the local bank now. Per-
haps he earned $12 q week. Ida stayed
home and helped her mother.
The thing that happened came all
In moment. The girl had pictured

but 1t was just as surprising to each.
One moment they we're friends, chat

Ing whether the rain would kill the
gypsy moths that devastated the shade
trees; and the next they we're looking
1t each other In amazed wonder.
What is more inarticulate than love

began sprinkling the plants. There
was wise smile on her lips, and her

that night to her husband, when the
old couple were alone.
Outside. at the Barton end of the
piazza, Frank was waiting. He had
meant to go to the picture show alone.
He had wished that he had some other
girl to take with him. They would
stroll past the double house together,
their voices slightly raised, and Frank !

Anthony Comstock at a luncheon In
New York said of certain tabooed

The motive of these works was per-
