NATIVE CUSTOMS
REVIVED DURING
WELCOME TO VETS
PAPEETE, Tahiti.—Age-old Poly
nesian customs and arts of sons
and dance, half forgotten by the na
tives in their swing toward Europe
an customs, were revived during the
great festival which during the past
few weeks welcomed home Tahitian
veterans of the great war.
Maran, formerly queen, came
from semi-retirement and gave a pic
turesque feast of royal proportions
in the old king's palace.
The otea. or dancing company,
presenting evolutions not unlike the
Hawaiian hula-hula, was seen again,
and the himene. said by musical ex
perts to be unique in all the world,
i was sung. In the himene. lately
abandoned for hymns and European
songs taught by missionaries, short
phrases of great originality and
| often of great beauty are woven to
gether in four or five parts without
dissonance. Some liken it to Wag
nerian choruses.
One feature of the celebration
was the lantern parade, when young
;and old. carrying torches, danced
through the highways and byways
of the town. The square, lighted all
about with paper lanterns while
flower-crowned women promenaded
with husbands or sweethearts, pre
sented a romantic picture of old
Tahiti.
When the battalion of Tahitian
soldiers arrived they were greeted
by great crowds of brilliantly-attired
natives crowding piers and beach.
They marched through triumphal
arches of palms, and after being
officially welcomed by Governor Rob
erts. were taken over by the crowds.
The festival continued more than
two weeks. Other settlements of
the island have made preparations
for other celebrations to follow.
Casuistry of 1919.
“The ancients disputed how many
angels could dance on the point of
a needle.”
“That’s nothing. How many could
dance on the Fourteen Points?”—
Denver Post.
