THO us, OF the civilized Western
world. the customs Of greet
ing our friends and relatives with
a kiss or cordial hand-shake
seems Tar from barbarous or even
strange. But in the Andaman
Islands, a group OF tropical Isl.
anCis In the Bay of Bengal. the
natives would observe with mucn
amazement our methods Of saiu-
tation. For kissing and hand
shaking are quite anknoWn
among the Andamanese. the Ne
critic tribes inhabiting these islands.
When two friends meet. they
stop and gaze long and silently
into each others faces. How
ever, when relatives meet
quite another matter. For then :
the whole world is taken into
their confidence. They throw
their arms around each otner
necks, hurl themselves on the
ground and weep az 1t their
hearts would break. Those "a:
miliar with them, though, win
tell you that their tears are
equivalent to our whole-hearted
joy. Indeed. there seems to be
no way of telling the difference
between the joy and sorrow. They
weep when they are happy, ana
they wall when they are sad.
But when beloved member of
the tribe dies, all those who are
not already in mourntng, dance
until they are ready to tall xrcm
fatigue.

by the singer instead OF the JAZZ
