When the land is suffering from long droughts the Roumanians ascribe it to the gypsies,who by occult means make dry weather in order to favour their own trade of brickmaking.When the necessary rain cannot be obtained by beating the guilty Tziganes, the peasantsresort to the Papaluga, or Rain-maiden. For this they strip a young gypsy girl stark-naked,and then cover her up in flowers and leaves, leaving only [134]the head visible. Thus adorned the Papaluga, or Miss Jack-in-the-Green, is conductedwith music round the village, every person pouring water on her as she passes. Whena gypsy girl cannot be had, or the Tziganes are supposed to be innocent, a Roumanianmaiden may be taken. This custom is very widely spread.
