THRESHING WHEAT IN
BASUTOLAND, SOUTH AFRICA
by Ms. Charlottne Crogman Wright
(Calvin Service)
The early morning Bun is spread
ing its golden glow over the ma
jestic mountains and rolling hills
of beautiful Basutoland, and cover
ing with warmth Che verdant val
leys lying in their embrace. All is
still but for the chirping of the
birds, the occasional barking of
dogs or the lowing of cattle; for
the people aro scarely beginning
to stir from their straw mats on
the dung-smeai-ed floors of their
cut stone rondavels.
Suddenly as we lie is bed gazing
up at the lovely thatched roof of
our rondavel we hear a commotion,
excited voices near the court of the
king’s wives We hurriedly dress
and go outside. On the hard soil
tho wheat is spread in circular ar
rangement. There are four horses
and three men. The men glad in
their colorful native blankets drive
their Bfesuto steeds rou<nd and
round over the wheat, vociferously
shouting their commands to the
faithful boasts.
By this thorough trampling the
grain pods are separated from the
stalks. Then it is all gathered up
and laid aside till a windy day when
it is tossed up and down over a
container till the chaft and dirt are
blown away.
The grain is then taken and
soaked in water until the hull peals
off, when it is dried in the sun; or
the hull may be removed by a pro
cess of poundinig for which a
stamp of huge pestle is used.
Next the housewife kneeling up
on the hard dirt floor of her hut
spreads before her one of her close
ly and beautifully woven food
mats, places a large flat grinding
stono just behind the mat puts
the hulled wheat upon the stone
and with both hands rubs a smaller
stone back and forth over the ker
nels tills they are found to flour
which is brushed off upon the mat
and is gathered up and stored in
skillfully fashioned clay pot9 and
jars until baking time.
No less primitive was the har
vesting of the golden grain which
is not usually of a luxuriant
growth because of primitive fann
ing methods. It was cut by gaily
attired native men agd women,
boys and girls with hand scythes
and sickles—strongly reminiscent
of the days of Ruth and Boaz!

tfca results of this research available te the public.
There is no tingle article in ml
tally's make-up hit which gives her
*noh a lift os lipstick. It brightens
her H»sMe tad «st. You have oil
had the experience of looking at
yeuraelvee la the mirror and think
ing. “Mr, how drub I look,” and
feeling drab as a result. Then, au
tomatically, yoa reach for your lip
stick and yon look olive again, and
feel better too. That dash of red
across your face colors your spirit
ns well as your mouth.
But don't take the word “dash"
too literally. Unfortunately, too
many of you do. You slap a line
of lipstick across your face while
mentally planning the grocery list,
deciding what you will wear today,
or wondering If you will be late for
work. And as a consequence you
look more like a clown in n three
ring circus than a well-groomed
lady of fashion.
8ize of Mouth Important
The application of lipstick, and of
all other cosmetics for that matter,
requires time and attention. Study
your lips carefully before you put
on your lipstick. Figure out for
yourself whether they are too small
or too large and act accordingly.
Fortunately for most of us, the day
of the rosebud mouth is gone. No
one wants a mouth that looks like
a china doll. But neither do we want
a mouth that dwarfs the rest of the
fnce by comparison. If your mouth
Is too small, start your lipstick well
out towards the edges of the mouth
and put it on ns heavily at the oater
edges as you do In the center. lie
sure to put it on with your mouth
open ho that there will be no un
attractive urn-cloved line when you
apeak. If your mouth is too targe,
hewever, the reverse rules are true.
Hear down more heavily with your
lipstick in the center of your mouth,
gradually tapering off towards the
edges. A large mouth needs less
lipstick than a small one if you
wunt 10 nuike the else less con
spicuous.
Lipstick Should Blend With
Color Scheme
And when buying lipstick, please
exercise n little care In the selec
tion of the proper shade. Your lip
stick should blend with your com
plexion ns well as harmonise with
the color scheme of your outfit. It
Is wise to have several lipsticks so
that you can vary It according to
your wnrdrobe. Some shndes are
more becoming at night, others give
you the proper lift by day. Shop
around and study all the sliudes
until you find at least one that does
things for you inside and out.

lems? Write Marie Downing,
