Latest Things in ShOsiionc Clothes at 4,
Laramie Empnriuni

The season at the Shoshone Emporium, not
withstanding the backwardness of springs, opens
up with many charming novelties in dress. Lead
ers in fashion are not confining 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 flvorite 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 1t is dis
carded. redingote of antiquated logcnbn bed
guilt and daped at the back with loops of foulard
horse hair faille loops of rawhide larat will be
in favor with old and swayback squaws who are
in half morning.
THE BLUE CAVALRY ovERCoAT CAPE
will be worn during the cooler evenings by giddy
young squaws, with such other gew gaws as their
fancy may suggest. Middle.aged Shoshone ma
irons will also wear, during the coming season for
morning, buffalo robe draped from the shoulders
and held in place with iron picket pin. Afternoon
costumes will be more dazzling, and will consist
of hour-sack bodice fastened with metallic pants
buttons of the time of Henry VIII, and festooned
with spatter work of alkali mud and such other
brio IA brac as Indian taste may suggest. Ball
costumes will be as heretofore, very attenuated
and very sparse.
THE INFANTRY PANTS
so commonly worn through the day will be ex-
changed for cavalry pants for kettle drums, and
| artillery pants for Shoshone hops. The trail will
not be in vogue this year the nearest spproach to
it being the tablecoth costume held in place with
embossed safety pin. The more frolicsome bellies
however, Will wear DluD mosquito par sash at the
waist, and gents British half hose. This will be
the iavorite evening costume Novelties in jewelry
and ornaments of all kinds Will be in great favor.

Gently severely criticised the costume adopted
during the present month, by bevy of Shoshone
bellies, which consists of an alpaca umbrella and a
dash of rcd paint. While the suit is, of course
open to adverse criticism, it displays the figure
better and is far less expensive than the Jersey
pull of the pale -iule.-BW Nye.
