  Explanation. 
  

  

  This 
  formula, 
  from 
  Gatigwanasti, 
  immediately 
  follows 
  the 
  one 
  

   last 
  given, 
  in 
  the 
  manuscript 
  book, 
  and 
  evidently 
  comes 
  immediately 
  

   after 
  it 
  also 
  in 
  practical 
  use. 
  The 
  expressions 
  used 
  have 
  been 
  already 
  

   explained. 
  The 
  one 
  using 
  the 
  formula 
  first 
  bathes 
  in 
  the 
  running 
  

   stream, 
  reciting 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  the 
  previous 
  formula 
  "Ama'yi 
  

   A'tawasti'yl." 
  He 
  then 
  repairs 
  to 
  some 
  convenient 
  spot 
  with 
  his 
  

   paint, 
  beads, 
  and 
  other 
  paraphernalia 
  and 
  proceeds 
  to 
  adorn 
  himself 
  

   for 
  the 
  dance, 
  which 
  usually 
  begins 
  about 
  an 
  hour 
  after 
  dark, 
  but 
  is 
  

   not 
  fairly 
  under 
  way 
  until 
  nearly 
  midnight. 
  The 
  refrain, 
  yu'"wehl, 
  

   is 
  probably 
  sung 
  while 
  mixing 
  the 
  paint, 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  portion 
  is 
  

   recited 
  while 
  applying 
  the 
  pigment, 
  or 
  vice 
  versa. 
  Although 
  these 
  

   formula 
  are 
  still 
  in 
  use, 
  the 
  painting 
  is 
  now 
  obsolete, 
  beyond 
  an 
  

   occasional 
  daubing 
  of 
  the 
  face, 
  without, 
  any 
  plan 
  or 
  pattern, 
  on 
  the 
  

   occasion 
  of 
  a 
  dance 
  or 
  ball 
  play.
