  About 
  the 
  door 
  were 
  gathered 
  the 
  poor 
  and 
  the 
  onlookers, 
  who 
  had 
  no 
  

   part 
  in 
  the 
  ceremony. 
  A 
  feast 
  had 
  been 
  prepared 
  by 
  the 
  Wa'wa" 
  

   party 
  but 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  served 
  until 
  near 
  midnight. 
  The 
  pipes 
  could 
  

   not 
  be 
  taken 
  up 
  until 
  some 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  host's 
  party 
  should 
  rise 
  and 
  

   say: 
  "Fathers, 
  you 
  have 
  come 
  to 
  sing; 
  we 
  desire 
  to 
  hear 
  you." 
  This 
  

   invitation 
  required 
  the 
  gift 
  of 
  a 
  horse. 
  Then 
  the 
  leader 
  of 
  the 
  Wa'wa 
  11 
  

   party 
  and 
  the 
  host 
  both 
  arose 
  and 
  advanced 
  to 
  the 
  man 
  who 
  had 
  

   spoken, 
  as 
  the 
  act 
  implied 
  a 
  gift. 
  The 
  host, 
  standing 
  before 
  him, 
  lifted 
  

   both 
  hands, 
  palms 
  outward, 
  and 
  then 
  dropped 
  them 
  slowly. 
  He

  passed 
  his 
  right 
  hand 
  over 
  the 
  left 
  arm 
  of 
  the. 
  giver 
  from 
  the 
  shoulder 
  

   to 
  the 
  wrist 
  and 
  repeated 
  the 
  movement 
  with 
  his 
  left 
  hand 
  on 
  the 
  

   man's 
  right 
  arm, 
  the 
  sign 
  of 
  thanks. 
  He 
  then 
  walked 
  slowly 
  in 
  front 
  

   of 
  his 
  kinsmen 
  and 
  friends, 
  speaking 
  to 
  each 
  man 
  by 
  a 
  term 
  of 
  rela- 
  

   tionship, 
  raising 
  his 
  right 
  hand 
  in 
  further 
  token 
  of 
  his 
  thanks. 
  The 
  

   leader 
  of 
  the 
  Wa'wa" 
  party 
  then 
  advanced 
  to 
  the 
  giver 
  and 
  repeated 
  

   the 
  same 
  movement 
  indicative 
  of 
  his 
  thanks. 
  Raising 
  his 
  right 
  

   hand, 
  palm 
  outward, 
  he 
  turned 
  toward 
  the 
  left 
  and 
  then 
  toward 
  the 
  

   right, 
  to 
  give 
  thanks 
  to 
  all 
  the 
  host's 
  relatives 
  and 
  friends 
  gathered 
  in
