notwithstanding the backwardness of the
spring, opens up with many charming
novelties in dress. Leaders in fashion
are not confning themselves in any way
to previous styles, but are aiming at
startling changes and entirely original
designs, The Louis XIV. costume in
buckskin, with muskrat edgings, will be
a favorite among the older and more
sedate squaws, and the loose travelling
suits made Of wagon covers, with dash
of axle grease and seal brown tar, will be
much worn before it is discarded. A
redingote of antiquated log-cabin bed
quilt and draped at the back with loops
of foulard horse hair or faille loops of
rawhide lariat, will be in favor with old
and swayback squaws, who are in half
mourning
The blue cavalry Overcoat cape will be
worn during the cooler evenings by giddy
young squaws, with such other gewgaws
as their fancy may suggest. Middle
aged Shoshone matrons will also wear
during the coming season, for mourning,
a buffalo robe draped from the shoulders
and held in place with iron picket pin.
Afternoon costumes will be more daz-
cling, and will consist of -four sacks
bodice, fastened with metallic pants but
tons of the time of Henry VIII. and
festooned with spatter work of alkali
mud and such other bric.a. brac as In.
dian tastes may suggest.
Ball costumes will be as heretofore,
very attenuated and very sparse. The
infantry pants so commonly worn through
the day will be exchanged for cavalry
pants for kettle drums and artillery pants
for Shoshone hops. The trail will not be
in vogue this year, the nearest approach
to it being the tablecloth costume, held
in place with embossed safety pin The
more frolicsome bellies, however, will wear
blue mosquito bar sash at the waist and
gents British half hose. This will be the
favorite evening costume.
Crinoline is once more recognized
among the ton Of the Shoshone society,
and the hoopskirt will be adopted there
as q croquet suit as soon as the weather
moderates little, so that there will b.
no risk in wearing it. The older matron:
still wear the hustle, and when worn out
side a pair OF artillery pants it makes ;
unique and attractive promenade cos
tune.
A daughter OF Sore-Eyed- Pelican il
making large number of mashes thi
spring with striped corset which sh
wears at all receptions and dress parties
A new caprice for morning wrap will
be an imitation army overcoat with door
mat drapery. This will be worn, too, o.
picnic excursions, in search of pitch pin
logs for the morning fire.
The hair will be worn plain in mos
cases, with bandoline Of buffalo tallo,
and Oriental tar. The time.honore
hair ornament of the tribe, consisting {
chronological specimens of the time {
Queen Elizabeth, will be shown on a
occasions.
Prudish old maids, with no special a
fractions in form or feature, have recen
ly severely criticised the costume adopte
during the present month by bevy
Shoshone bellies, which consists of q
alpaca umbrella and dash of red pain
While the suit is, of course, open to az
verse criticisms, it displays the figu
better, and is far less expensive than Il
Jersey Or the pull-back Of the pale-face
