SPRINGTIME IN THE
WILDWOOD
(By John Milton Samples.)
In springtime in the wildwood,
I hear the merry notes
Of Nature’s feathered songsters *
As on the air it floats.
The forest buds are swelling
• On leafless limbs that show
Their eatwhile bending burden
Of Winter’s ice and snow.
There hosts of white faced daisies
Peep out from lifeless leaves;
Sweet violets upspringing
A web of color weaves.
Soft southern winds are stirring
From off the Gulf’s expanse,
Shifting Springtides northward
With waxing sun’s advance.
The world again is waking
Athrill with newer life;
The earth casts off her burden
The spell of joy is rife.
Immortal signs are showing
That death is but a dream
That ends in joyous waking
Beyond life’s mystic stream.
Macon, Ga.

Bathing Beauties of U. S. Would
Shock Modesty of the Unclothed
Aborigines of Pacific Islands
Washington, Dec. 1,—"A Chi
nese woman would not think of
exposing to the public gaze her
bound foot, a lady in Yap would
never be seen promenading down
the mud-hut boulevard of her
native village without her woven
necklace of hibiscus leaves though
her grass skirt was her only gar

man of a few years ago would not
be seen without her veil.
« Modesty has a georgraphy all
its own,” says a bulletin from the
Washington headquarters of the
National Georgraphic Society, in
connection with the winter fash
ion decrees from Paris.
Cover Finger Tips.
“Alexander von Humboldt, who
traveled extensively over the

century, recorded in his travels
that some of the Central Asian
peoples are reluctant to let any
one see their finger tips.

found that native women, after he

For Ornament.
II It seems paradoxical that
clothes originated out of the de
sire for ornamentations rather
than for warmth. Arabs of the
hot deserts of Africa are fully
swathed in flowing garments
which only in part serve as pro
tection from the heat while the
Patagonians, from the coldest por
tion of the South American conti
nent wear only the skin of one an
imal as a kind of wind-shield.
Our word, modesty, came from
the Latin modus, meaning meas
ure of standard, and the clothing
which was customarily worn
therefore became our first con
ception of what the proper or
modest thing to wear. Each of
the world’s peoples consequently
has its own standards.
Paint Served Indians.
<< The explorers who first same
to American shores found that
the Carib Indian women, who
simply wore embroidered girdles,
often appeared without this single
garment, but they were never so
remiss as to forget to paint their
bodies with annatto, a red or yel
lowish-red dye. This constituted
their idea of womanly modesty.
One explore!- reported in his
journals that a woman of a tribe
in Brazil, whose custom it was
to go unclothed, had in some mys
terious manner acquired a petti
coat which she put on for special
occasions, but it seemed to have
the effect of making her thorough
ly ill at ease.
Shock Sensitive Savage.
- The Chinese women are among
the demure and»modest of the
world, but they wear trousers.
And, furthermore, some of them
would be horrified at the immod
esty of a skirt.
The beaches of American sea
side resorts would pain the fine
sensibilities of the Sumatra and
Celebes savages who consider it
highly improper to expose the
knees.
In one of the New Hebridos Is
lands of the Pacific a married wo
man can be modest only by being
snaggle-toothed. Part of the wed
ding ceremony consists of reliev
ing the lady of her two middle in
cisors by smashing them with a
rock.

maiden wears a cunning little
close cap because it would be
dreadfully unmodest to uncover
her hair.
M Sturdy German peasant women
paddle around their homes and

shocked at the idea of wearing a
dress which was open at the neck.
