vail and where the young, hght colored
women are Of fascinating amiability. the
gestures Of the dance are never so unob-
JectiOnable as Is the case with the Span
sh creOles; from which II is to be seen
that the dance. consciously or uncon-
sciously, has different purpose among

classes OF the Haytian population. Here
every motion is obscene; and l am not at
all considering the popular merrymakings
or dance festivals secretly held partly In
the open. partly in the forests. which are
more Ike orgies. I'm which the African
savagery. which has outlived centuries,
has unbridled expression.
