STYLE CRAZE REACHES WOMEN
IN PAPEE-TE, ISLAND OF TAHITI

Papeete, Island of Tahiti, Jan. "a
The Chinese women OF Papeete
have, with one accord, discarded their
national dress OF oilcloth pantaloons
and tunic and adopted the semi
European dress Of the Tahitian bellies
of the town. This includes the high
est of high heeled French shoes.
The result has been the infection of
much torture which the women are
enduring with the greatest fortitude.
For centuries they have trod the
bosom of mother earth barefooted,
but today they parade the length of
the beach road proud in their new &C
question: AS soon as they are out of
the public eye off come the shoes and
they return to their dwelling, after
the fashion of their ancestors-car-
rying their shoes.
