The use of these Buildings is for the entertainment of the Women.

Who take great delight to come and see these Ceremonies, clad in their best and richest Apparel.

They employ themselves in seeing the Dancers, and the Juglers do their Tricks: who afterwards by their importunity will get Money of them, or a Ring off their Fingers, or some such matters.

Here also they spend their time in eating Betel, and in talking with their Consorts, and shewing their fine Cloths.

These Solemnities are always in the Night, the Booths all set round with Lamps; nor are they ended in one Night, but last three or four, until the Full Moon, which always puts a Period to them.
