V * Y Í ¥ Both the men and the women are striking in appearance. On gala oc casions, they present a most pictur esque sight, the women with bright colored silk shawls folded crosswise over their shoulders and bosoms, wearing large white, stiffly starched caps with a fluted border, which stands up in front like an opened fan, and their ears adorned with solid gold eurrings about four inches in length. These are heirlooms and are religiously handed down from mother to daughter.

The fisherwomen who do the selling, are often chosen for their good looks, so that here, may be seen at the stalls, the belles of the tlsher- town. They know very well how to take care of themselves, and while perfectly willing to indulge in. light badinage and chaff, promptly check ¥ It will help you to k e:p your home spotlessly clean without any labor.
