A QUESTION OF MODESTY
TO TUB EDITOR OK TUB I'KKSS. Sir, —Just another point ol' view. The native girls were all provided with white frocks and told to wear them for the confirmation service, and always on Sunday for the church service. The next Sunday the missionary noticed one girl in her usual grass fringe, so after the service he called her. "Mary, why didn't you wear your white frock?" "Massa, I'se too shy." A true story.—Yours, etc. F.P. February 15, 1935.
