A TYPICAL KALINGA COUPLE These people are the Peacocks of the Philippines. They revel in the brightest colors, and bedeck themselves in large figured, gaudily colored cotton fabrics. The women have skirts reaching well below the knees and are often loaded with necklaces of agate beads which they greatly prize. On state occasions the men ornament their hair with tufts of scarlet feathers and bunches of hibiscus flowers or marigolds. Note the small waist of the man. 1192
