COURTING IN STANDARDIZATION nee
the young beau among the KOraks be-
comes infatuated, he makes known his
passion to the father of his "affinity,"
and expresses his desire to strive for her
hand. Akind of contract is Immediately
entered into, by which the young man
binds himself to the father as IL servant
for years, at the expiration of which time
she can have him or not. Tn this manner
if the father be'the happy p0ssessOr of a
beautiful daughter, he may have Il half
dozen of men ready to do his bidding at
one time. When the term OF servitude
expires, One of the largest youths is Sc
lcctcd, and the old women of the PLACE,
armed with sticks and pieces of seal
thongs, are stationed in the prOlOgs sus-
pended around the room The daughter
then appears, thickly clad in skin gar
ments, followed by her lover, when n
race ensues around the enclosure, the
contestants lodging about among the
prologs. To winhis bride, he must over
take her, and leave the print of his nails
upon her person before she can he res
cued by the old women, who, during the
race, impedes the lover as much as pos
Sible by beating him with sticks, and
tripping him by Selling his legs as he
rusIles by them. The advantage is all
with the girl, and if she does not wish
to become the wife of her pursuer, she
can avoid him without difficulty. On
the contrary, If she likes him, she man
ages to Stumble. or makes known her
wishes to the old women, who then only
make a show of impeding her pursuer.
Sometimes the lover is so desperately
smitten that, just after being foiled, he
returns to the father, and binds himself
for another period of years for the priv
ilege of making another trial.
