Thtse people have conspicuous brown patches on their white skin. As they wear a full costume these patches are enly visible on the^ace r ?pd hands, so that the people are notr so unsightly as they woukl 6th erwise be. i? ______________ A Doubting Day.

"Indade ye did, Patrick, an ye have the money in yer pocket to buy ?ne the dhriss the day. "That I have, Nora; but I dpn't boy ye the dhriss." "An why not, sure?"
