PORTABLE RESTAURANT EQUIPPED EVEN TO THE FIRE |
NEW FASHIONS IN THE NEW HEBRIDES |
|
| This Javanese restaurateur has the advantage of his competitors in that he pays no rent. With his one-man travelling restaurant, fire, cooking utensils, and all complete, he moves from village to village until he finds a suitable spot where he may unfold his kitchen and display his skill. Then the rush begins, for he knows well the toothsome morsels that whet the appetite | Like all South Sea Islanders, the natives of the French New Hebrides wear a stick thrust through their nostrils. A gaudy loin-cloth is their only garment; bead necklets and armlets, and flowers and feathers in their hair, complete their toilet |
