Pretzel By the shores of Gitchie Gumee, By the shining Big-Sea-Water, Stood the wigwam of Nokomis, Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis, Dark behind it rose the forest, Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees, Rose the firs with cones upon them; Bright before it beat the water, Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water. There the wrinkled, old Nokomis Nursed the little Hiawatha. Something of the sweep and solemn- ity of Longfellow's great poem crept into the hearts of the poor, thin little children and the tired mothers, out at Arden Shore camp on Wednesday af- ternoon, August 10, as they played their parts in the pageant of Hiawatha's life under the tall trees, in such a setting described above. All of the very tiny tots, the bigger boys and girls, and the mothers, took part in the pageant, which was whipped into shape in hard- lv more than a week's time. Miss Reba Rosenthal, camp theatrical direc- tor, arranced the pageant, and Miss Pauline Houck, camp pianist, arranged music for it from some of our greatest composers. Several members of the Great Lakes band assisted Miss Houck. Miss D. V. Smith, who assists the camp stnerintendent., Miss Anna Belle Fer- rier, also took an active part in super- vising the production of the pageant. Campers Prepare Pageant Those who tonk part, and who did most of the work on the pageant and the makine of costumes, are the camp- ers themselves, who took this opportun- itv of showing publicly their apprecia- tion for the week of sunshine and good food given them. Everyone knew his nort nerfectlv. and all was done with a slow, sober manner that matched the red man's own majesty. It was very effective. because the spirit of the thing had been caught. Two Indian braves opened the pageant bv lichting a huge fire in the center of the clearing on the bluff. Tt seemed the natural thing to watch a lene line of lovely Indian maidens and sng an Indian lullaby. There stood old Nokomis fnlaved hv Mrs. Reuter) holding the infant Hiawatha in her arms, singine in a remarkably sweet voice a special lullabv, while on the hacks of their mothers real Arden Shore "panooses" nodded and blinked sleenilv.

Hiawatha, now a boy full of questions and fun, ran out to play with them and to learn their secrets. William Hunt played Hiawatha in the succeeding episodes.

After the council was adiourned, and all the members had disnersed in bic- turesaue snake-dance fashion, old Nok- amis watrhed Hiawatha set off to the land of the Dakotahs, for a bride. "Ctridine over moor and meadow," Hiawatha arrived at the wigwam of the arrow-maker. and asked the hand of Minnehaha.
