Where the High Cost of Living Is Unknown 



Above: There are 

 times when Nature 

 seems unduly prod- 

 igal. The ordinary- 

 coconut is meaty 

 enough and almost 

 too rich for food; 

 but these giant speci- 

 mens grew in pairs 

 like Siamese twins 



At left: The prob- 

 able reason why the 

 nutmej is among 

 the cheapest of 

 commodities is that 

 it grows in such 

 profusion. The 

 kernels are encased 

 in shells like chest- 

 nuts which oF>en 

 up when ripe 



At right: A vege- 

 table product of the 

 tropics which re- 

 sembles cannon 

 balls growing on 

 climbing vines but 

 which contain a lus- 

 cious pulp on which 

 the natives feast 



At left: A fungous 

 growth found on trees . 

 It resembles ruffles 

 of fine lace or stif- 

 fened netting as deli- 

 cate and beautiful as 

 any employed on 

 women's apparel 

 and has no known 

 excuse for being
