All Quiet In Tahiti

From Our Own Correspondent

Papeete, Dec. 6.

LIFE in Tahiti is quiet and uneventful —so far as the masculine part of our population is concerned.

But the feminine part, on the contrary, is in a state of consternation. It has been discovered that supplies of Unstick, face-powder and enamel for the finger nails have become exhausted, and that the prospect of future supplies is very thin indeed. How our South Seas belles will solve their problem is not yet apparent—but solve it they will.

With this notable exception, we are not suffering any major novation. We have ample supplies of food, and the few luxuries we have to do without do not count in times like these.
