INDIAN GIRLS
FAST PRIOR

<I"HE GIRLS DANCE" Is
one of the interesting
customs OF the Washoe
Indians of Nevada, and fortunate
Is the traveller who witnesses this
ceremony.
A party is given by a family
who invite all Of their friends
to partake in the festivities with
them. Dancing is the chief fea-
ture Of the evenings entertain

o'clock.

nous air seemingly without any
words or significance.
This dance seems to take the
form of an endurance test rather
than an amusement. Even COM
mercialism enters into 1t, because
as the early morning hours wear
On-for the dancing lasts until
dayiight-the dancers are paid
by the family giving the party for
their energy and ability to stick
1t OUT
Twining in and out and weav-
at such a fete is always seen q
young girl accomplished by an
4. older woman.
The girl appears worn and tired
and leans YEARLY on a long
staff. This seems strange at
first, because 1t IL for her that
the party Is given. For this is
a debutante dance. The girl is
being presented to society with
the clear understanding that she
Is now en- the marriage market.
No Wonder the poor girl is
listless-she has been starved for
four days. This is the proper
thing in fashionable Washoe
circles. But after midnight she
cheers up, for 1t is then that an
elaborate feast is offered, when
everybody Is served to full ca
pacity by the hespitable host and
hostess.
When the sun ereeps over the
hills, the ceremony draws to d
close. But it does not end until
the debutante fetires into her
tepee, is bedecked with branches
and reappears:
The final event On the pro-
gram is the dousing of the de-
butante by throwing a large buc-
ket of water over her.
When this has taken place, our
young Indian maid Is launched
in society-she is out" and from
that day is prepared for, but Is
waiting, a proposal of marriage.
