Big Lips for Beauty
IL Idea Of African

The women Of the Lake Tchad re-
gion Of Central Africa vie with one
another as to who can possess the
longest lips.
When girls are about four or five
years old their future husbands pierce
q hole In the center Of the upper and
lower lips with big thorn or a knife.
Through these holes he places thick
straws or reeds.
In few weeks, when the girl has
become used to the punctures, wooden
pegs the size Of lead pencil are
pushed into the holes, says London
Tit-Bits. Three months later. when
the lips have become accustomed to
the distension, larger pegs are insert
ed. At twenty-five fashionable ma
tron of the Saras- Djinges tribe is like
ly to have disks seven inches wide in
the lower lip and five inches wide In
the upper. Up to this time the disks
stick straight out like birds bills, but
now they drop down from their
weight.
After this larger disks are inserted
about once year. It Is matter Of
social pride with woman to go on
increasing her lips as long as pos
sible.
