PAPUAN WOMEN 



The women of Dorey are well dressed, mainly through the efforts of Mr van Hasselt, for 

 43 years a missionary in Papua. No converts are made, except where a few slaves are pur- 

 chased and adopted. The only effects are seen in the help which modern medicine has been 

 to them; though it must be said that none of these races are ever as healthy as before they 

 submitted to clothing.
