HE resorts still claim society undivided attention and outing parties are the only events of the moment. An occasional trip to town is always in order, but the stay in the city is brief, devoted either to shopping or the noble Red Cross work, and e >rtaining is not even thought of.

I had been urgently hurried home through the blaz- ing sunshine, and now, after | reaching the cool, airy house, I | was calmly requested to walk out afresh into the blaze. Of course I | wanted to see, but the lounge, the fresh draught and the chastened light were ¢ tempting, so I sighed again. “You mustn’t do that, Lossa,” says a mall Samoan, with a dirty bit of sack- je |ing knotted around her waist. What mustn't I do?” “Look cross. You can't see the lenga | if you look cross; it will go bad.” | “On!" I was exceedingly astcnished. I had heard of 'sour looks turning the milk in old-fashioned dalries, but the | sensitiveness of lenga, otherwise tur- | meric, was an altogether new idea. | *Cross logks and angry words burn | up the lenga the oven,” continued my mentor.

What else could be indicated by that enormous | | pile of carrots the old ladies were so busy scraping? ~| Then I remembered that I was in a land where the carrot groweth not and the donkey is a rare visitor. So I sat down on my mat and demanded infor- mation. A dozen voices hurled it at me. “Had I never seen the ango root?

SATINS AND FAILLE AND FANCY SILKS, worth 1+ song, the song of the turmeric worker. The dragon flies flash to and fro in pursuit of prey, a little lizard with sus- picious eye creeps cautiously down one of the houseposts, a butterfly flutters past, like a flying onyx, the black fuia utters his shrill whistle up in the pua tree, the cocks and hens show signs of roosting in its branches, and still' the voices of the graters rise and fall while I watch and dream. Suddenly I be- e and bears strong traces of Mosaic nd and body, is demanded of the |come aware of a lull, and looking up I | | ind antelope eyes gazing at me re- proachfull 1 had forgotten my man- | ners!

A coacoanut leaf plaited, is supported by border and lined with overlap- ping banana leaves; above this, on a rough framework protected by hanging banana leaves, is slung an- other mat, fresh and green, forming a basket sieve; in it are laid broad strips of fiber torn off the cocoanut trunk—na- | ture’'s own weaving, finer and closer than horsehair sieve—and in this the grated turmeric root Is laid. Then come the damsels, their cocoanuts brimful of water which they cast into the sieve, while their Sisili stirs up the ruddy mass and a stream of vivid orange splashes the hanging leaves and pours into the glistening green trough. No stinted labor or bungling work here. ‘When the trough is full the process be- gins afresh; again and again the muddy orange liquid is lifted in the shells and re-strained, till the hanging leaves turn golden, the sleve looks like a miniature claypit, the workers' hands and faces assume a brassy appearance and their dingy draperies are enlivened with dabs of yellow. At last the straining is pro- nounced sufficient, slight laths are laid across the trough, over them more leaves to shelter from the sun's rays, and the liquid lenga is left to settle. Then my garlanded Cinderellas re- treat into the cool hut to show Lossa their own special work at their own very particular trough. Along the floor lies a broken canoe, from it rise at reg- ular intervals peeled stems round which rough sennit had been tightly twisted; and from each stem depends a long banana leaf. Down squat the Cinderellas, cross-legged, each in front of her own leaf; another leaf she care- fully lays on her lap, for when your dress is particularly dirty it is desirable not to splash it. Up go the Cinderella hands in pairs, holding closely clasped a bit of scraped turmeric root which they bring down the sennit-circled stem with strong, slow motion; up and down, up and down, the lithe brown arms move evenly, dropping orange flakes agalnst the green background, and as they grate their voices rise and they sing, slowly and solemnly, a part AT THE DEN mat, stifly the husk superfluous. But when I wake up at night and watch the stars twinkling athwart the palm crests I hear the song of the turmeric rising and falling and | I know that the green and orange har- mony is still unwinding.

No worker, married or single, must eat with her own people or sleep under her own roof. Day after day, sometimes for weeks, the lenga makers form a little IS TS [oscson gy, You'll be a good little girl, and take the gas, won't you, Kitty?” 'Oh, mamma, mayn’'t I have electric light?"” It isa| community dedicated to harmony and turmeric; they sleep together, eat to- gether, work together, sing together | and ignore the existence of that disso- nt note, Man.

Next morning I am sent for to see the lenga oven. The inclosure is the same scene of activity as yesterday but the contents of some of the cradles are altered. A pale yellow scum has risen leaving a thick, greasy orange sedi- ment on the green leaves. This pre- cious sediment the girls are not allowed | to touch; witch-like dames crouch over oval wooden bowls and strain it again and again through palm fiber, till at last consistency is pronounced perfect and a small bowlful handed inside the hut, where one of the Cinderellas awaits it. She is rightfully placed now, bending over a circular fireplace enclosed cornerwise with mats, while her hand holds daintily a cocoanut shell like an inverted acorn with the cup struck off; a shell polished with much use, its inside oiled and stained with the red juice of the oa tree. Cinderella plugs the small hole at the tip, pours in some liquid lenga with the help of a leaf and tenderly deposits her brown acorn beside the glowing em- bers. When two or three cups are thus set on end she heaps over them several dozen leaves of the laupata, heart-shaped leaves with red veining, far too pretty to be shriveled and smoked in this lavish fashion. Then it is politely hinted to me that my pres- ence is no longer required, the lenga will take some hours to bake and I can see the results next day. | So I do. The Sisili in person comes to | call, and from the depths of a green | basket, out of manifold leaf wrappers, | she produces three of the acorns look- ing none the worse for their roasting. A clean leaf is laid on my unworthy hand, the acorn plug is removed, the | apex held to my mouth, and I am sol- emnly requested to blow hard. I pro- duce a whistling sound, and slowly there glides out an acorn shaped, slimy orange substance, a lenga jaune- mange which I am asked to admire as an artistic triumph. Isn’t it smooth and glossy and perfect in shape? Did Lossa | and night; ever in her life see the like? Well, no, on her honor, Lossa never did, so she i sits and admires the yellow acorn which, when hardened, will be inclosed in green wrapper and set aside for its important destiny aside to heal the sores of the sick child, to tint the face and hair of the belle, to enrich the trousseau of the bride. Meanwhile the grating and straining, the singing and smiling, continue day he female population seems to be qualifying for an attack of jaun- dice this evening, we shall eat valu- valu—grated yam baked with co- coanut cream—which has been colored with turmeric, and the Law of the Lenga shall prevail many days. “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” We Christians proudly hoist the motto once a year and leave it in ab ance for the remaining fifty-one weeks ‘Who was the heathen who introduced it among this brown-skinned race bid- ding them live in fraternal harmony for weeks at a time?

Miss Carrie de Mar at the Orpheum this week wears the latest agony in the mil- linery line. It is a glass hat, designed and manufactured in Paris and procured at a cost of ’steen dolla possibly more. The rim and crown are made of flexibla glass, and as a stage hat it Is a success, for the nodding plumes are ever in ful} view and from whatever point. Around the brim_and crown the trimming orange chiffon, neatly shirred. A wealth of tall ostrich plumes lend a swell effect. The style of the hat is of what is known in Paris as La Militaire, and a black vel- vet drops under the chin. which tends to set oft to good advantage Miss de Mar's retty face. That this style of hat should ver become popular with femininity in general is not likely, but for stage use it serves its purpose and lends a most charming effect. When Miss de Mar re- turns to New York she intends ordering several more glass hats, and they will be tinted to match the color of her gowns. is
