The couple, however, do not take the slightest notice of each other. On the following morning the boy's father has to submit to a torrent of abuse from the father of the girl, which is only brought to a close by a propitiatory gift of a killed dog. There is also a pillaging expedition by the girl's people against those of the boy, somew T hat similar to the Mekeo one already described. In the afternoon the girl is painted and decked out by the boy's relatives, and the couple are again placed to...gether on the verandah platform of the house of the boy's father, and again they absolutely ignore each other. On a repetition of the meet- ing on the third day, however, reconciliation between the couple is usually effected, and the girl hands betel to the boy, as in Mekeo. Finally the girl's mother, who has absented herself from all these meetings, comes to visit her daughter, over whom she weeps, until she is propitiated by the present of a killed pig.
The second part of the marriage ceremony takes place some three to eight weeks later, prior to which the bride is not allowed to visit her father's village, or to eat food brought from it.
