  withheld 
  from 
  the 
  knowledge 
  of 
  women 
  of 
  the 
  better 
  class. 
  These 
  

   songs 
  were 
  called 
  wau'icaa 
  11 
  , 
  "woman 
  songs." 
  They 
  were 
  composed 
  

   by 
  men 
  yet 
  they 
  always 
  represent 
  the 
  woman 
  as 
  speaking, 
  betraying 
  

   her 
  fondness 
  for 
  some 
  one 
  and 
  thus 
  violating 
  social 
  etiquette 
  by 
  

   speaking 
  of 
  her 
  personal 
  liking 
  for 
  a 
  young 
  man. 
  They 
  sometimes 
  

   refer 
  to 
  uncongeniality 
  in 
  the 
  marriage 
  relation; 
  the 
  unhappy 
  wife 
  

   begs 
  her 
  lover 
  to 
  fly 
  with 
  her 
  to 
  another 
  tribe. 
  In 
  most 
  of 
  these 
  

   songs 
  the 
  act 
  of 
  the 
  man 
  is 
  made 
  to 
  originate 
  with 
  the 
  woman. 
  

   The 
  following 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  wau'ivaa 
  n 
  class 
  of 
  songs. 
  It 
  reveals 
  

   something 
  of 
  social 
  customs 
  and 
  also 
  fairly 
  well 
  portrays 
  the 
  char- 
  

   acter 
  of 
  this 
  class 
  of 
  songs, 
  of 
  which 
  few 
  if 
  any 
  are 
  what 
  might 
  be 
  

   termed 
  ribald.
