Here is a smart summer shoe,
light and graceful as a canvas

shoe that holds its shape, easy to
clean, wears well and is unusually
comfortable. For afternoon or

expensive leather shoes, too.

Only one tribe in the South Pacific
islands ever rose to the height of in

islanders. turned out only few suits,
owing to the work eHtailed in the
manufacture. Francis Dickie says. in
the Scientific American. that the suits
we're limited In number, and that
every village was the proud possessor
of one. At the outbreak of n conflict
between villages. not all the inhabi
tants went to war. but the most
doughty warrior was dressed in the
village armor and sent against the
champion of the rival place.
