Y + THERE is one place on earth
more conservative than all the
rest, that place is the little Dutch
L island of Marken, in the Zuyder
Zee
There are only five hundred inhabi-
tants on the island, and all are, in
measure, related. For centuries no
stranger has ever been permitted to
settle and live there So unfriendly
lists that an inn or hotel is not per-
mitted on the island To stay all night
you must bribe an unscrupulous Mar
kenite to let you sleep in his flood
attic.
The people have an indescribable
even Dutchman.
Although they can reach Amster-
dam in less than two hours by gaso-
line launch, the women never leave
the island, and the men leave only on
business.
Their attitude toward the people of
Holland and the inhabitants of any
other country is one of antipathy and
strict isolation.
In addition to being the cleanest
full. No alien power has ever had
any perceptibIe influence on them.
Fashions Don't Change.
Fashions of men and women do not
change in Marken. They are wearing
the same styles today that their great
grandmothers and great-grandfathers
wore. From infants to old women, all
dress alike. Women never wear mourn
ing, but add piece of black material
either to the left or the right side of
the sleeve, or to some part of the skirt
to designate the relationship to the
member of the family deceased.
Boys and girls are dressed alike un->
til they are six years old, and can be
distinguished only by button on the
cap of the boy, and rose on the cap
of the girl. The sixth birthday is a
great event in the life of every boy,
for it is at this time that he doffs his
corset and dress and puts on male
garb. The only change that girls
make in the mode of dress is that on
the day of marriage corsets are laid
aside never to be worn again, and 1t
becomes stylish to wear many under
skirts. This gives a hoop-skirt effect.
The men and the boys over six years
old habitually wear what Americans
would cali bloomers, and loose plain
jacket with couple of gold or silver
buttons on the collar.
The Markenites are tall, heavy of
frame, have eyes of blush gray. sand
colored hair. conspicuously poor teeth
and large lips, which they seldom
close. This description applies to both
men and women who, according to our
standards, would be called stupid look
ing
Women's Ages Uncertain.
1t is difficult to tell the age of the
women. One little woman, her face
network of wrinkles and most of her
teeth gone. proudly held up a three
weeks-old baby for inspection. 1t was
dressed exactly like her. To one who
did not know, she would have been
taken for the grandmother, but as mat
ter of fact. she was only twenty eight |
years old. and this was her first child. |
Their houses are all pretty much |
alike. There is never more than two |
rooms downstairs, a dining room which |
is also kitchen, and a living room and |
bedroom combined There is always |
a fireplace of old blue tiles. From the
rafters hang jugs, dried fish and hams.
The Markenites are not meat eaters.

Except along the Caspian coast, Per,
