HAIR DRESSING A RITUAL

gauzy net may be used to. pro-
tect 1t from the ravages or the
elements.
The hair Of the women may
not be as important as their
chiefs, but they take the matter
of their dress with Just as much
seriousness. It is no light matter
for Fijian woman to change
the style of. her dress. For with
that change in style she indi-
Gates q radical change in her
life.
The Fijian women wear a broad
band of braided bark fiber. from
which there extends a fringe of
at least, three inches. The very
young girls wear a very. narrow
fringe. A few years later they
indicate the fact that they are
married by frightening the
fringe until 1t reaches half way
down to the knees. On becom-
ing a mother. the young wife ex-
tends the fringe to the knees or
even a little lower.
Men and women alike, in Fiji,
wear flowers for decorative pur-
poses. They love to weave them
into wreaths and belts. They
string them around their shout
ders and arms and waists and
wear the wreaths in their hair.
The love of decoration and

acteristic that our flapper shares
with the most primitive as well
as the most sophisticated people.
