SAMOAN DANCING.
II lsHot AIwaIs Discreet, Though Generally Lively
and Long Lasting.

A favorite amusement for old and
young is the silva, the word meaning 10
dance. 1t is not properly speaking,
dancing, says the National Geographic
Magazine, but is more like an acting
charade, FOR, although accompanied
with music. singing and slapping of
hands, the silva has no steps or regular
figures, its motions consisting of slow
pacings, bodily and facial contortions.
and what may be called descriptive
acting. The actual silva is performed
by girls. The dancers are prepared for
the silva by copious smearings of cocoa
nut oil applied by some female relative
followed by a careful adorning of the
glistening body with the lava-lava. or
loin cloth. and flowers for the hair and
neck.
The subjects represented all relate TO
the life of the islands and are frequent
ly given with verisimilitude which
leaves nothing TO the imagina ton.
Courtship, marriage and the care OF
children find leading place in the rep
resentation, while making poi. spearing

fruit. and also some Of the Giving pic

and often. as the excitement grows,
subjects OF a grosser nature are given,
and frequently before the conclusion OF
first-class silva the girls will divest
themselves OF even the pretense OF
clothing, the lava-lavas following the
flower garlands until the space In the
hut devoted to the performers Is filled
with a swaying mass OF, glistening
bodies. and the odor OF the cocoanut
oil becomes simply overpowering to the
few civilized onlookers who are permit
