"The girl's dance" is one of the interesting customs of the Washoe Indlans_of Nevada, and fortunate is the "traveller who witnesses tnis ceremoay. A party is given by a family who invite all of their {riends to partake In the festivities with them. Danc- ing is the chief feature of the even- ing's entertainment and _starts promptly at 8 o'clock. There is not much variety in the dancing, for these Indians simply A Washoe Coming-Out Dance. join hands in a large circle and move around step by step, chanting a weird, monotonous air seemingly without any words or significance, This dance seems to take the form of an endurance test rather than an amusement. Even commerclansm enters into it, because as the early morning bours wear on--for the dancing lasts until daylight -- the dancers are pald by the family giv- lng the party for their energy and ability to "stick it out.""' Twining in and out and weaving their way aniQng the dancers wt such a fete is always seen a young girl accompanied by an older wo- mau, » The girl appears worn and tired and leans wearily on a long staff. This seems strange at first, because it is for her that the party is given, For this is a debutante dance. The girl Is being presented to socrery with the clear understanding that she is now on the marriage market. 0 wonder the poor girl is list- less--she has been starved for four days, This 1s the' proper thing in fashionable Washoe circles. But after midnight she cheers up, for it ls then that an elaborate feast is offered, when everybody is served to full capacity by the hospitable host and hostess. When the sun creeps over the hills, the 'ceremony draws to a close. But it does mot end until the de- butante retires into her teepee, {is bedecked with branches, and ro- appears. X Then, from the branches decorat- ing her person, she draws money and throws it to her gwesis, who sgramble for it with loud shouts. The final event on the programme fs the dousing of the debutante by throwing a large bucket of water over her. When this has taken place, -our young Indian maid fs launched fin soclety--she 18 "out" and from that day Is prepared for, Lut is waiting, a proposal of marriage. ---------------- GROWS SEEDLESS AND CORELESS APPLES A. W. Buzzell, of Abbotsford, Que., awoke one morning to find himself unexpectedly the origin- ator of a seedless and coreles vari. ety of apples. Ea This accidental Luthur Burbaah #2hibited a large basket of his freak apples at the recemt exhibi- tion of the Promological and Fruit Growing Society of Quebec, where they created 3 sensation. Seedless and coreless apples, it 1s sald, were never produced before by science or accident in the world's history. The apples are of the Fameuse and shape of their family, except that at either end they nave a slight mark instead of the usual depressions that indicate the core. "I had been cropping a block ot one hundred Fameuse trees in my orchard," sail Mr. Bussell. "All the trees had been topgrafted on Rabke seedlings. In grading the apples I noticed thet a large number were peculiarly marked, and .out of curl- osity I set them aside. I found ah of them without a core or seeds. "Unfortunately, my apples had been placed in piles, and I was un. able to 'determine which particular trees had produced the abnormal fruit. I shall now have to wait un. til mext year to learn trees. Then by grafting I shall un- S--------e So much advice has .been given to | fathers about bow to treat their | children that perhaps 'a little advice | would be in order to childrem about | how to manage father. : | Let us indulge in no prelude and | get to business. vi} First of all, study your fatner. Look him over and. think him over. | Do not assume that you know all | BRINGING UP FATHER | about him and do not make 1t a. business to keep away from him. | Be patient with him. He is prob- | ably doing the best he com accord- ing to his lights. He may not un- | derstand you, but thén again, on the ! othér hand, perhaps you ' do not | understand bim.~ It takes two to do a job of understanding. Remember that not leng ago you were a baby and it Is a little diffi- | cuit for father to realize that you! are not one yet. He haq to tell you everything to do and when one gets into that habit it's very hard to | quit. : i Sympathize with him. He is growing old, and some day, as you will find out, growing old is no joke. You are full of illusions and hopes. He is full of disillusions and his | stock of hope is not as large as it | was. Also remember that he has to | get out every day aad find some- | thing wherewith to purchase bread ' and butter, which is some different ' from merely coming to the table when the bell rings. [ Respect your father. He is en- | titled "to that in any case. Never seem to disregard his opinion. When he speaks, listen. You may not | always be able to obey, but at least | you can listen. | You object to his being impat- | lent and intolerant with you and | therefore you should not be impat- | fent or intolerant with him. Be polite to him. There is no | place where courtesy 'counts for | more than toward your father. Flatter him, Say things that you think will please him. He may | not let on that he cares about this, | but he does care. Between you and me there is no one whose good | opinion a father values so much as | his son's. | Be affectionate with him. If he makes, it difficult for you to do this, then be as affectionate as you can. Do not argue with him. He may think that you ought to accept any- thing he says withoyt question. Let bim think it. it pleases &im and it doesn't hurt you. We ail have our little vanities, anq father should be allowed to have his. He may not know as much as you do, but some day you will be forty yourself, and then you will not kmow as much as you do now, Do not contradict him. Well-bred people do not contradict each other fatly. Help him. Yeu know him perhaps bs well as anyone knows him ana know of many little ways in which you could make things easier for him. Remember that while you are the colt and frisking in the pas- ture, father is the pack horse and the load: sometimes becomes, burd- ensoms. : - Most of all, and most important of all, never show that he hurts your feelings. He probably will hurt them, but do not let him see it. Get a grip on yourself. Finally, remember that yau are playing for high stakes--to win a father. You will never have but one father and when you lose him you can not find «nother in ex- change. News of Westbrook. .
