An explorer in Congoland--{for he who ventures into nis wild place must be an explorer, not merely a traveler--will find the most unus- ual customs. A stranger going through the country is at liberty to stop at any hut and spend the night or remain as long as he feels 'inclined. This is erpected, and no conversation is sven required to negotiate the ar- rangements. But if the stranger is tired, he Is "out of luck," because hospitality in Congoland is expressed in a strange fashion. To give their guests a real welcome the host and hostess gather all of their neighbors and friends around their home and plan for the | evening's entertainment. They are bent on giving their guest what they consider a good time. They dance for him, and are so anxious to give him a pleasant visit that they keep the dance up all night. He is expected to appreciate it, and, naturally, should not show any signs of fatigue. After a perfectly sleepless night he is surprised to find that his host- ess is out in the fields, bright and early, with her cigar in her mouth-- vecause in Congoland only the wom- en smoke, the men prefer to take snuff. They consider smoking effe- minate. The women not only do all the heavy work in the fields, but sell the produce as well. They are resl- ly "~the men of the house." They are the "bread winners," wile the men take over the domestic duties. It is no. strange sight to see the man of the house engaged in doing the family washing, and then hang- ing the elothes out to dry on the branches of the trees around the home.
