Then the villagers assembled in the
plaza and went in procession to the
cross -surmounted adobe church. The
image of the patron saint was taken
from its niche in the wall and carried
reverently to the cedar bough shrine
which had been set up the evening
before. In the gray dawn the dancing
and singing started. There were two
groups of dancers and two of singers.
One of each continued for an hour or
more, when they were ready to fall
from exhaustion. Then they dropped
out and the others took their places.
Thus the strange ceremony went on
from sunrise to sunset.

SANTO DOMINGO New Mexico,
August l8.-Blue and gold SAINT
Dominic's niche in the wall OF the
3Oo-vear-old pueblo church Is empty
today. :,
The plaster saint has been carried
forth on it's yearly pilgrimage into the
weird places of the old gods OF the
four winds and the golden harvest
A few yards below the ancient kiVa
wonder the statue rests in a green
shrine made of cedar boughs, 10
candles burning before it.
Gentle eyes of the medieval scholar
and preacher look from the open front
of this vernal temple over a dusty,
mud-brown oblong plaza lined on
three sides by continuous, one-story
adobe houses with blue doors. The
rooftops are crowded with red-skinned
women in scarlet and purple mantles
and men with broad, copperiSh faces
and high cheek bones wearing tunics
Of yellow. blue, carmine and white
with a considerable intermixture OF
white women in blue denim trousers
popular in the cow country this sum
mer, and white men in boots and
sombreroS.
Dance in Intricate Patterns.
On the sun baked floor Of the plaza
are the dancers-young men, bare and
pa ainted to their waists; bare-footed
women in black dresses, youths and
maidens, toddling little boys and little
girls. Each carries green cedar
bough In the hair of each is tuft
of corn husks. Weirdly, monoto-
nously, interminably they dance, fat
footed and in intricate, ever chang
ing patterns. They sing all the while
a wild, weird prayer, accompanied by
the endless beating of drum, gourd
rsttles, the tinkling of their belts OF
shells. A little to one side stands the
chorus, about so of the elders of the
Pueblo arrayed in tunics of all colors
of the rainbow, who sing as the
younger folks dance and keep the time
for their dancing.
