begin in earnest.

celebration. however, 1t must be under
stood that the work is not so strenu-
Gus, and the monotonous buzz of the

In Chippewa county there are many
camps or settlements, each controlled
by a recognized leader, and long before
the holidays the point of celebration Is
decided upon. By Christmas eve the
men, women and children have alsas-
sembled at the chosen camp, where
elaborate preparations have been made
for their comfort, and at 10 o'clock in
the morning of that day the duly elect
ed master of ceremonies addresses the
multitude of people assembled and out
lines the program of the week to fol
low, for these celebrations continue to
the 31st day of December.
After his speech the oldest daughter
of the oldest resident is elected queen
Vt the holidays. Her corps of as
sistants is quickly chosen from the ed
ucated classes. and from their decis-
ions pertaining to the weeks celebra-
ton there can be no appeal. During
the remainder Of the day many
speeches are given. refreshments Of
many kinds are served, and family
groups flock together and relate their
own folklore. while the queen. assisted
by her advisers. examines and selects
the various fowls to be served on the
following and subsequent days.
