SHILLUK TOWN BELLE ADORNED WITH FANCY'S BIJOUTERIE |
|
| The ancient town of Timbuktu is a converging point for the chief races of Central Africa; and Moor and Tuareg are not infrequently seen walking arm-in-arm in warm-hearted fraternity within and without its walls | She differs but little from her country sister of the Sudan, save in the number of her necklets and ornaments. She is an industrious wife and a good mother, but the education of her children consists practically of the phrase: "Do just the same as you see me do." The nose-ornament is connected by beads with the attractive headdress, and is particularly in vogue among Sudanese women |
