Miss observation-disclosures
Colorow wore a fine pair of agency
suspenders and a hectic flush. She
was the only lady at the Colorow te-
pee in full evening dress. Refresh
ments were served here, consisting of
cottonwood sandwiches and Mumm's
Extra Dry Rat and Roach destroyer.
Mrs. ShayanO and several others
received at the magnificent Shaavno
dugout, on Fine Cut avenue.
Mrs. Shavano wore a cavalry blouse
and ear ornaments.
Mrs. Sighing- Mountain Pine wore a
plug hat and Queen Elizabeth bed
quilt, held in place with Roman Safety
pin, rescued from the White River
agency.
Refreshments were served here,
consisting of prairie-dog pie with va
riations and symphony in sage hen
salad, with dressing a la Chinaman.
No liquor was served here, the ladies
in an unguarded moment having sur
rounded the supply.
At the parental buffalo wallow of
Chief Antelope the ladies were not
receiving, but the gentlemen callers
were cordially invited to stop at the
front door and kick the large and
hospitable aggregation of yaller dogs
in honor of the day.
Colorow, in spike-tail coat and :.
pair of high-cut gum boots, led the
list of callers.
The Son-in-Law of-the- Nebraska-
Blizzard was with him, and wore a
cotton umbrella and a headache. He
was very sociable, being on the bor-
ders of delirium tremens, so that his
old fancies and facetious attempts &c
scalp his hostess several times made
him welcome guest wherever hG
went.
Towards evening the gentlemen
callers became very frolicsOmc ant
mirth provoking, pulling over sevcra
roval c,litices where the ladies were
receiving calls. and i'll one instanc,
tipping over bed room in which tn,
Daughter of the Wailing Wind wa
pairing favorite corn.
Everything passed off pleasant,
until young chief who had become
excited by contact with the flowing
bowl attacked an old Ute on Fine Gu
avenue with II three-year-old club an'
killed him because he was making
calls in state of beastly sobricty.
OF course the young man saw Oh
the following day that perhaps he hat
been too hasty, and said that if h
had it to do over again he thought h'
would do quite different, but in TIN
hurry and confusion he did not hav'
time to consider what the result NIGH
be.
The most attractive street costume
was that worn bv Il son of COl0rOw
who was dressed in gray army shir
held in place hy a broad band o
Wamsutta muslin. He wore heade,
moccasins without socks and hair or
namcnts of tar roofing and selection
from feather bed. He also wore
necklace made of the back teeth O
friendly whites, strung on the f strin
Of violin.
The most gorgeous costume nc
ticed among the ladies was that O
Mrs. Brazos DeSoto- -Nom-de-P Plume
a half-breed squaw, whose pedigre
runs back into some of the best Ut
and Spanish families. She had dis
guised herself by washing her fac
unbeknown to even her most int
mate friends. Still a few recognize
hef, she being the only Ute lady re
ceiving calls who weighed over 80
pounds.
She wore two soldier overcoats, on
buttoned in front and one laced dow
the back with a clothes line. Sh
wore her hair negGgently in the forr
, of rats nest, the deception bein
, very much heightened by the use Q
maple syrup as a bandoline.
The following day was character
lied by the usual amount of unriva
, ing remorse and several post-mortel
. examinations.
