Text Appearing Before Image:
r and around theirankles, and their dresses were loosely gathered in at the waist, wherethey were held by cords. The music was supplied by two men whostruck their hands upon large calabashes and sang or chanted a lowmonotonous air. A very little of the dance satisfied the curiosity ofthe visitors, and they returned to the hotel at an early hour. The Hawaiians have another dance, which can be seen at their fes-tivals ; it is performed by men and women, usually elderly people, andis accompanied by singing, in which all may join. Then there are THE HULA-HULA AND OTHER DANCES. 23 dances for the younger people, but they are not generally practised,owing to the opposition of the missionaries, and possibly to the unwill-ingness of the people to indulge in active exercise unless they are paidfor it. All the dances have descended from the days before the adventof the foreigners, and therefore have an interest for any one who de-sires to learn whatever he can about the history of the islanders.
