content: From card: "Worn around waist to hide private. "Worn thus: A string is tied around the body just above the hips. The end of the cloth into which a stick is fastened is passed up under this string in front and the string is given a turn or two around each end of the stick to keep the cloth from slipping down. This stick when in place is quite low down, just over the region of the pubis. The free end of the cloth is then passed between the legs and up under the string behind. A few bush cat skins suspended from the stick in front complete the "suit". I send one of these cloths which has been treated with red wood powder which is supposed to beautify it.""
