Social Customs 

 the household 



Thongh some Zuili houses have as many as eight rooms, the ordinary 

 house has from four to six and a few have only two. Ledges built 

 with the house extend around the rooms, forming seats and shelves. 

 The largest is the general living room, where the entire household 

 works, eats, and sleeps, and where guests are entertained. When the 

 room is required for the use of some f raternit}", the family adjourns 

 to other quarters, moving all its belongings. In this room the famih' 

 wardrobe hangs on a pole suspended from the rafters. The more val- 

 uable things, especially the ceremonial paraphernalia, are carefully 

 wrapped and deposited in the storage rooms. As a rule the mills for 

 grinding meal are set up in the general living room. They consist of 

 three or more slabs of stone, of different degrees of fineness of grain, 

 set side by side at an angle of about 45° and separated by upright 

 slabs, the whole surrounded by other slabs, making an inclosure for 

 each mill. 



Most of the rooms are provided with fireplaces, of which there are 

 several varieties. One style is formed by a wall several feet high and
