of-pcarl and lavender the sun set be-
side the palms. On the lagoon bench
MAS kindled Il great fire. Presently
the mellow moon and huge stars. ris.

black shadows OF the trees athwart

the palm frondS. the soft fall VI feet
in the dust of the dim pathways, and
the murmur OF flower-crOwncd: men
and women. on their way to the dance,
came the voice Of the surf on the
outer reef.
A chant and a clapping arose from
30 to 40 persons, men and women
not one stunding-who sat cross
legged on the coral, writes Andrew
Farrell in Asia Magazine. Members OF
the ballet. four and five deep. mnde
three sides Of a rectangle; on the
open side were the spectators. All OF
the men. and some OF the women,
were nude to the waist. Necklaces Of
white coconut leaf, long and many
pointed. hung down upon the breasts;
greeneries were twisted In the pierced
lobes Of their ears. and from under
white cOconut and chaplets of flowers
cleaned their white eyeballs and
whittier teeth.
In the forefront Of the ballet sat
weman-a Micronesian AphrOdite-
covered from her waist down with a
fine dancing mat. She was the prin-
cipal. and only she and two men did
not beat hand against hand and
against breast One OF these--a
great. bearded. Arablike fellow-was
the leader OF the chorus. He gave
calls accompanied by a sweep Of the
raised arm. At the second or third
call the second man. brOad-bodied

and the others Joined. chanting and
beating. the women's voices high and

The chants were altogether monot-

fire. Hands, feet. arms and trunks Of
the three principals kept exquisite

My ears were filled with the tumult,
my eyelids were heavy with .drowsi-

awoke with a start, to find the singers
silent and their bodies languid. A
brief pause-a settling back Of the
wearied sinyerS--and again the leader
gave the call and the sweep Of the

pitch. The large ones are rs much as
six feet across and four or five feet
