OF PRIMITIVE LOVE
Remarkable Story Secured
by Smithsonian Man.
Washington.—Childhood love and
death in a primitive soclety are ple-
tured in an intensely human document
Just issued by the Smithsonian insti-
tution.
It is the life story of a southern
Cheyenne woman, told by herself. The
narrative was secured by Dr. Truman
Michelson, Smithsonian ethnologist.
There are many common elements
in the life of this child of a nomadle
prairie people and little girls every-

“At first,” she says, “we girls played
what we called ‘tiny play.’ Our moth-
ers made rag dolls like men, women,
boys, girls and bables. We used forked
sticks for ponies and placed the tiny
people on the fork of the sticks, pre-
tending to move camp. Sometimes a
baby would be born or a marriage
would take place—in fact, anything we
knew about older people. We did not
allow any boys to play with us, We
had rag dolls to represent boys.
“As I grew a little older, we played
what we called ‘large play.' This play
consisted of real people, namely boys
and girls. The boys would go out
hunting and bring meat and other
food. We girls would pitch our tepees
and make ready everything as If it
were real camp life. Some of the
boys would go on the warpath and
always come home victorious. They
would relate théir war experiences,
telling how successful they were. We
girls would sing war songs to ac-
knowledge the bravery of our heroes.”
As she grew older various young
braves tried to force their attentions
upon her but, being an exceptionally
proper maiden according to the teach-
ings of her people, she repulsed ail
her suitors.
One evening she came home from
& visit to a girl chum to find that a
man whom she barely knew by
had been negotiating with her father
for her hand. She was told that her
parents were growing old and
make some provision for the future of
their children.
So, after she had her
relatives escorted her to a point near
the camp of her Intended husband,

It's an {ll trade wind that blows no
steamship line good iu these times of

A survey of the different lines termi-
nating here revealed that the number
of tourist passengers making the four
to sixteen-day vacation trips between
this port and such favorite piay-
grounds as Nassau, Havana and the
Canal Zone during the winter just
past will probably double those of the
previous winter.

“guesses” was that when the final re-

For instance, statistics show that only

popularity of the “ocean vacation”
