Ibu muda Sumatra (KARO) selalu mengenakan anting-anting perak.
Much significance attaches to the wearing of earrings in the island. Young girls wear them or not, as they choose. Upon marriage the bride must wear
the big silver buttons, much after the fashion of our wedding rings. After the
birth of the first child or when five years have elapsed, she must remove them.
The sagging, buttonless ears of the old women are among their ugliest features.

Berbeda dengan kebiasaan, lantai teras ini terbuat dari bambu. Lantai sebagian besar rumah menggelayut di tengah. Atap yang dari rumbia, terbuat dari atap daun kelapa.
Contrary to the custom, the
floor of this porch is made of whole bamboo poles rather than the split pieces.
The floors of most of the houses sag in the middle. The roofs are of thatch,
made of the leaves of atap palm.

The sumatran (KARO) mother is never
prevented from doing her daily stint of weaving by her latest born, who is
strapped across her back.
A native cloth factory. Evidently "industrial employment" does not tend to race suicide in Sumatera.
Sebagai pusat sosial, alat tenun tangan dan gulungan di Sumatera (KARO) mengambil tempat di dekat air pancuran di timur desa.
Banyak dari sarung yang
dibuat oleh penduduk asli yang rumit terjalin dengan benang emas. Mereka kurang
dalam keaslian pola. Tetapi pekerjaan perak dari laki-laki
jauh lebih artistik.
As a social center the hand
loom and the yearn reel in Sumatera take the place of the village fountain in
the near east.
Many of sarongs made by the
natives are elaborately interwoven with gold threads. They are lacking in
originality of pattern, how ever. The silver filigree-work of the men is much
more artistic.
