THE DUTCHMAN, HIS WIFE AND HIS BABIES
OUT FOR A STROLL.

This Saturday afternoon the fisherman comes
home and puts his Sunday best His wife
and babies are already spruced up, and presently
they stroll out hand IN hand, in troops and
groups past these tempting displays, RECALLING
themselves on smoked eel and giving the chill
dren a "Christmas-y' feeling by buying and
presenting to them dolls, toys, cakes, etc.
Everybody begins to be happy.
SO goes the week. The daytime is spent more
or less quietly about daily affairs, but the even
ings are full of music, laughter and madcsp dane
ing. As the last nights of the Kermess approach
it seems TO dawn upon the Nolendamer that the
humdrum length of another year is approaching,
and accordingly he raises his heels and lmbers
up his knees Whole bands of boys and men clasp
hands or embrace lovingly, and pound the floor in
rhythmic thuds and thumps until the entire build
ing sways and trembles. rocks and echoes TO
ton and sound. They dance and dance the last
Saturday night away. Still they dance when Mon
day morning dswns, and only upon the stroke Of
noon on Monday does bedam die away and all
Volendam go first TO bed to sleep II Off and then
back to work till the kermess comes again.

SATURDAY EVE IN SEPTEMBER-THE
BOOTHS ALONG THE Dixie.

It is easy to understand that when a man and
a maid who can dance, and at that well, and can
take glass and with Lncton, will do it with a
vim when the moment arrives for there is but
one genuine diversion during the year. There
fore. before a certain Saturday eve in the month
of September it is the custom each year for ali
available men and boys TO begin putting up
booths along the dixie, or on the seward side of
the main street. In these booths are bestowed
dried fish, smoked cells, toys, candles, bakery etc.
One booth IS prepared FOR the cake cutting.
This means that each customer is given
Ratchet. If he can cut the strip of cake in two
with three strokes sometimes four-the cake
is his If he fails he pays for it. Usually he
pays.
Another booth is for the housewife who makes
and sells some sort of fried cake. These
bought eagerly for and by the children. An
other booth is arranged for ring throwing.
Clocks watches, dishes, lamps, and on through
a long list are won or lost by the payment Of
ten cents two cents of American money and
the skill of the thrower
