Only the children used to make a vizor, weaving the flowers with string, shooting stars, and white lilies, and bluebells, and they put it around their foreheads.

(The stems of the flowers are twined with a single twining of string, just as the feather vizor used in the flower dance is made.)

Flowers also girls wore as their hair-club wrapping, wearing them as wrapping all day, and some of them wore a vizor on the forehead.

(These clubs come from above the ear at each side of the head and are worn on the front of the shoulders.)
