solomon Islands is the curious
custom of "potlateh' feasts. says
a bulletin of the Smithsonian In

entirely on wealth, chiefly in pigs
and shell money. But the only
incentive for accommodating wealth
Is to give II away in as ostenta-

order to gain prestige. The fret
step of a young man beginning
to get ahead in the world is to
build a clubhouse in the village
and dedicate 1t with great feast.
