solo demonstrated the steps and gestures
which make up the pattern of the dances.
The appearance of Boracrak, the Unicorn,.

dance as well as endear himself to all and
sundry by fluttering his eyelashes. Spec-

vited to join in, and among those seen to be
tripping the light fantastic were two
reverend gentlemen!
As a further token of their goodwill, the
