Nevertheless. the natives, a
brave and generous people, began
pouring gifts of food upon us as
soon as the hurricane had SUBJ
sided. They remained carefree and
confident even in the face of the
impending famine.
The native who had found us
was typical. With his home gone.
his gardens ruined, and no boat
coming until no one knew when. he
sat down and wove for me a beau
ltifuI coconut- hat. with a band of
beaded shells. He gathered some
where a basket of coconuts, an
other basket of taro, and two
chickens. one live and one cooked,
and presented them TO US.
Bria1 Gifts
When the other natives heard of
this, they all dropped their cares
and began streaming up 10 the
commissioners house with all sorts
of gifts. Among them were sew
eral intricate shellwork hatbands
and other trinkets. coconut mats,
and other articles of native handi-
craft. at which they are unequaled.
The commissioner, not to be out
done, made each of us a present OF
genuine South Sea pearls.
Many of the natives brought
gifts of food, usually a chicken
either alive or cooked, and in some
cases both. These chickens looked
like Plymouth Rocks. except that
their legs were considerably longer.
They are apparently good layers.
and their meat leaves no COM
plant.
One native brought US a quar-
ter Of q pig freshly killed. This
pork tasted different from any !
had ever eaten before. II tasted
more like chicken. The fat didn't
contain much grease, and the lean
meat was very tender.
/ learned that the island swine
after weaving. are allowed TO run
loose in the jungle. where i pre-
sumo they live mostly on coconuts
The newborn pigs are allowed To
suckle the sow only seven days;
then they are taken away and are
fed the same preparation of COCO
nut milk that the native mothers
give their babies.

The natives are curious, friendly
and entirely unspoiled by contact
with the ways of civilization. They
have no firearms. but have big
knives which the men handle with
extreme skill.
The men all smoke cigsrets,
which they make by cutting up
plug tobacco and rolling il into a
slip of dried pandanus leaf. We
were hungry for a smoke, of
course, and soon learned the art.
Smoking is their only civilized
vice. They have no liquors.
After the first three days, when
we were able to sit on the veranda
for our meals, the islanders gath
cred in great swarns to watch us
eat. When they could get near us.
they would stand about for hours

The commissioner then said that

almost a week on the island and

1t seemed that the government
had installed a small radio trans

. Marlene Dietrich, with her red
gold hair and her blue, blue eyes is a
well-known and much-loved person.
Along with the work which has won
her priced special-award pin from
the Red Cross. and the part she takes
in Defense Bonds sales, she carries on
a heavy entertainment program for
the armed forces.
But to most of her millions of
civilian admirers, Marlene, the wom-
an. is something Of a myth. They
know that she is beautiful and inde-
pendent creature. who likes to wear
just two types of clothes: evening
dresses, when they are called for;
otherwise, slacks - velvet ones, silk
ones. worsted ones, denim ones. What
they don't know is that Marlene Die
trich is the devoted, but sensible and
even strict mother OF a fifteen-year-
old daughter. Maria. That she is also
an efficient housekeeper, keeping
business-ike eye on the budget. and
planning menus with the skill of
chef. In fact, she sets famous table.
Truth is. Marlefie doesn't have to
founder around, and take somebody
else's say-so when it comes to food.
She knows her way around in the kitch-
en- for all her beauty and glamor.
