Japanese women never wear gloves
Thousands upon thousands of Nippon
natives have never seen pair Of
gloves. One day as an American girl
and ! were walking through a small
village some distance from Tokyo we
were at loss to understand why such
large crowd gathered around us on
the street.
In small town an American always
gathers a crowd. but this crowd was
particularly thick and excited, and
when the japanese do any looking they
want to do it up close. The natives kept
looking ut my partner. pointing and
jabbering away, wildly excited. The
crowd kept getting tighter and tighter,
while with our hands on our noses we
kept trying to push out. They kept
pointing ut her hands, then at her face,
and not until one Of them reached
over and felt of her hands did we un-
derstani what was the matter.
The girl with me had on a pair of
black gloves with the ends under her
sleeves. 30 that the excited villagers
were trying TO solve the mystery of
how a person could have black hands
and white face. When she drew of!

color as her face. they disappointedly

gloves the legend of the woman with
the black hands and the white face
that once visited the town would have
been handed down for years.-Homel
