management of the Golden Gate
International Exposition in San

the 18th century from the Caro-
linas. Kentucky and Virginia were
the Wades and the Barrows. Each
family became wealthy and promi-
nent in the new Feliciana COM
munity and built beautiful homes
which still exist today.
In 1885 scions of these families,
Judge w. C. Wade and Ruffln G.
Barrow, each a successful planter,
fell in love with the same girl.
Her name has been lost in the years,
but she was a belle of the day.
She could not decide between her
two lovers, who were equal in posi-
ton and goods to offer. Friends
dissuaued the two men from settling
their "affaire d'honneur" by swords,
SO Judge Wade and Mr.. Barrow
settled their rivalry by building, in
stead OF fighting. He whose home
was the more lavish would win the
girl.
They chose two hills, close to-
gether, as sites for their mansions,
each man convinced that his home
would have as its mistress the
beautiful, gracious girl. Armies of
slaves labored with timbers heWn
from the woods of Feliciana. with
bricks nodded by hand from its
clays and with rare imported stones
and marbles Thousands of dollars
were spent for lavish details-solid
silver doorknobs, Italian marble
mantels, hand-carved holdings.
After four years the mansions
were finished. The story does not
tell which house the girl chose-if
either-or whether in the mean
time she had married some one
else. But if she did make a choice,
1t was hard choice to make, for
the mansions were almost identical

capped line of Caribbean breakers
foaming out at sea over the coral
reefs.
For miles the reef stretched
along the coast and between reef
and shore lay small islands and
peaceful lagoons. The pilot nosed
down along the fringe of a long
island, Tiger Island, turned and
came back into the wind.
We had no sooner come to rest
on the lagoon than many canoes
were pushed down the beach into
the water. The water echoed
laughter. Tiger Island girls, dressed
in many-colored moellars and be-
decked with much gold jewelry
came padding toward us. At
o'clock we stepped from the plane
into their canoes.
How Could 1t Happen?
Its as though the world turned
under us while we were in the
plane" the debutante explained,
examining the nose rings and large
gold earrings of the paddlers, "and
dropped us in the South Seas in
stead of the Atlantic!" The bank
er had his movie camera out, taking
pictures Of many siren faces. The
lawyers logical mind made him
wonder aloud how it happened that
here, and here alone in the West
ern Hemisphere, every woman had
gold ring in her nose.
Legend has it that centuries ago
some San Bias men sailed away on
a square-rigger and saw India be-
fore returning home. When they
came back they made their wives
adorn themselves with nose rings,
They said that every woman in
Calcutta wore a ring in her nose
The banker was numismatist. He
began examining with his lens the
silver and gold coins that hung from
neck cord of bobbed haired girl
The other girls crowded around him
offering their coin necklaces for his
examination. "Say!" he exclaimed
These women have a fortune
around their necks! The coins are
collectors pieces!" I took him into
matched house, persuaded the
woman to open a large iron chest
rusty with age. 1t was full of gold
and silver jewelry.
Share of Morgan's loot ex-
planned. "The San Bias Indians
helped Morgan during his raids on
the Spanish Main. While he stood
offshore and pounded a settlement
with his guns, the Indians attacked
from the rear-from the jungle. His
success was mainly due to their help
and they shared in his booty"
Coins Worth Thousands.
There are coins here" said the
banker, that are worth many thou
sands of dollars. I'd like to buy
them-cheap!" But the owner slam
med the lid shut, fastened it, and re-
fused to discuss selling anything.

South Sea Isle
But an Hour Away
From Cristoba|
Realm of Sun BIus
!ndiuns Fortified
Against Civilization
BY WILLIAM LA VARRE.

The ship warped into the Cristobal
dock, allowing full day and night
for sightseeing along the Panama
Canal before journeying down the
west coast of South America First
trip passengers planned to stay on
deck and watch the eight hour
transit of the canal and locks.
Passengers who had seen the canal
on previous trips were getting ready
to go ashore. They would shop in
the bazaars of Colon and go across
the Isthmus during the afternoon
by train.
But around our breakfast table sat
six people who had been through
the canal, seen all there was to see
IN Colon and Panama City on pre-
vious trips, and had no enthusiastic
plans for the day. 1t was, they sug-
gested, too early to begin drinking
rum punches.
did you ever hear of the San
Bias Islands?" I asked. Four of
the passengers, school teacher,
debutante, banker and an artist,
had never heard of them The fifth,
a college professor, said he had:
They're the fortified islands, he
said but the Government won't
permit any one to visit them!"
Islands of Lonely Women.
They're fortified islands," I ad-
mltted, but not the way you mean
1t. They're islands that have been
fortified by nature for four CEN
turies to keep out civilization. DAN
gerous reefs and shoals protect them
by sea and dense jungles by land.
They're owned by the San Bias
Indians, descendants of the Caribs.
People who have seen them call
them "the Islands of Lonely
Women"
mo husbands?" the debutante
asked.
San Bias men are wanderers"
said. They don't spend much time
at home. Lately they've been get
ting jobs in the Army posts, re-
placing the Japanese houseboys.
They also take jobs on tramp steam
ers. Sometimes they are away from
their island homes for two years
But no San Bias woman is allowed
to leave. On some islands you won't
nnd any men at all-only thou
sands OF women and children. call
them the Lonely Women of Coconut
Paradise. If you want to see Utopia
IN America, Tahiti in the Carib-
bean, I'll take you there"
That sounds intereStipcn tho
banker said. I've always wanted
to 60 to Tahiti. But I've a date in
Santiago and can't stop over for
the next ship"
Less Than an Hour Away.
I'VE can visit them in less than
an hour" I interrupted him. ITS
7:3O. Ill telephone out to the fly
ing field. arrange for a plane. Well
be at Tiger Island by o'clock.
Well take picnic lunch and bath
ing suits and get back in time for
the afternoon train. You'll see the
most exotic native women of the
Caribbean"
AT $3.50 we zoomed up over the
iStf1mian jungles. At 8:45 we were
flying over the coast toward Colom-
bla. In another 10 minutes we could
look down and see palm plumed
islands stretching like stepping
stone keys beneath us, between the
