furnish the fluid. Behind the guests sat

/ eagerly watched each disappearing
mouthful. As occasion offered the guests
| surreputiously handed behind them pieces
| Of pig, chicken, quarters Of oranges and
halves Of cOcoanuts which were put in
baskets quickly.
After eating for an hour all rose at
a signal and then, at another signal,
there was a grand rush forward. and
those who had sat behind now took their
places at the feast. There was less ccre-
mony with them and they eagerly at

the bounteOus feast which adorned the
table u few minutes before. Even the
bones disappeared, carried away by dosa.
Meanwhile immense sourd3 mad been

Of eating.
After the feast came the native dance
which is called Mau.ulu silva TINS Is

ing frOm the hips to the knees. The
IaVa-IaNa is made from the bark OF the
mulberry tree. The bark Is mauutac-
tured into tappa. or a crude cloth from
which the laya-laya is cut and made.
Women are specially trained TO dance
the national dance and when properly
performed IL is a very interesting cere.

Next a chant IS commenced which

breasts. and as the chant Is continued.
which lasts for twenty minutes, IL Il

spectators in the background. as inter-

iii dead silence reigns over the entire
assemblage. Suddenly the dancers epring
to their feet a general handshaNng en-
sues, and the Maululu silva. or national
dance, IS at an end.
The tail dance IS another native
dance. This is performed entirely by the
men who twist frayed-Out rome around
their bodies and dance in the smoke
made by burning leaves. This follows
the national dance and is almost as IN
