Fais-do-do near Crowley, Louisiana. These are gatherings of local country people usually of French origin who are clannish. Very few outsiders are present at these dances. Sections of the hall are reserved for the different sexes. They are usually attended by family groups, the smaller children and babies sleeping in their mother's arms and on a huge bed with a rice straw mattress
