THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning.

TNHE pockets of the small boy
i are proverbial. They contain
everything under the sun, from
worms for fishing to rusty nails,
from string for kite to pennies.
from candy and chewing gum to
dog biscuit. Everything he lays
his hands on goes into those bot
tomless pits. But, although we
can easily understand and sympa.
thize with his rather unsanitary
habit of storing everything in his
pockets, we might not understand
so readily the custom of the
women of the Congo. For they
store everything in their coiffure
just al the small lad stores every
thing In his pockets.
