exceptions, away at the front, and
those who remain must make good the
deficiency. In this they have, however,
willing helpmates in the women. At
all times the women work in proper

added those of mothers and house

r T IS now nearly two years since
Italy took her place beside the
allies in the life and death Strug-
n gle that is holding the world in it's
grip, and yet the calm and quiet to be
met with here in North Italy and close
up to the firing line cannot fail to
'strike even the most casual observer,
writes a correspondent Of Country

wounded down from the front; day by
day motors and Red Cross cars dash
along the high road at breakneck
speed, giving the impression that mat
tiers of life and death hang on the pace
at which they can reach their desti-
nation; and yet the peasants work on
in steady adherence to their tasks
barely looking up to notice all this I'M
wonted movement, absorbed more than
usual at this moment in the land.
This, however, is not from indiffer-
'ence as to the war; far from it, for the
subject is one that all alike are keenly
interested in, and every family has sent
one and often two or more members
TO fight for their king and country.
But the Italian peasant also loves
the soil on which he and his fathers
before him have worked; his heart is

their homes. Narrow sticks, bound to-
gether by mountain vines, formed the
sides, and they were surmounted by
palm-thatched roofs. AS we drew near
the women and girls quickly concealed
their faces in bright mantles, but pierre
ing black eyes still spied at us in

would not even permit us to caress
their babies.
"Come" said our guide, and we en-
tered the first Of the long line Of dwell
ings. Each one, we were told, housed
from ten to twenty families. In the
dim light, furnished by two low door
ways, we distinguished a tremendous
room, with floors of hard packed clay.
There was little furniture, except few
hammocks strung about, while clothes
lines seemed to form division for the
family quarters. An occasional wooden
bench was occupied by groups of men
recovering from too much celebration.
Cleanliness seemed the rule. The
ocean serves as bath house, toilet and
medicine man to these primitive peO-
pie. The Indians stood about in groups,
ever watchful, apparently waiting for
our departure.
Long Hair Only for Young Girls.

over our clothing and asked many
questions, which our guide answered
to his own, and apparently their, satis-
faction. There were four women and
three men in our party. Sad to say,
the latter received slight attention.
One of our girls had very light hair.
This interested them. They removed
her hat and quickly loosened her hair,
and 10, it was spread before them pure

maiden long hair?' they questioned
"Chnrie." We found that only the
young girls of their tribe wore long
tresses. This discovery was made by

three little girls, daughters Of men,

woman. "Humph" she grunted; too
bad, all girls" Then slyly she slipped
the photograph inside her bodice, and
we saw it no more. Perhaps it will be
treasured by her grandchildren, GER
tainly she considered it q prize.
An unlooked-for bargaining spirit
was displayed when we endeavored to
purchase some Of their handiwork.
Three, four and five dollars was asked
for the waists. Paper money would
not be considered, only silver satisfy
