The season Ct the Shoshone empo-
rum, Notwithstanding the backward
ness OF spring, opens up with many
charming novelties In dre>s. Leaders
In the fAehi0n are not combining them
selves In any way to previous styles,
but are aiming ut startling changes
and entirely original designs. The
Louis Nv costumes In buckskin, with
nuskrnt edgings. will be q fav0lite
among the older and more sedste
squaws and the loose travelling suits
made Of wagon covers, with q dash Of
axle grease and seal brown tar will be
much worn before Il l. discarded. A
redingote Of antiquated logcabin bed
quilt and dIaped ut the back with
loops of foulard horse hair or faille
loops Of rawhije Iariat, will be In
favor with the 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
gew gaws rs their fancy may suggest
Middle-aged ShOshOue matrons will
also wear, during the coming season
for morning, q bunAlO robe draped
from the shoulders aud held in place
by iron picket pin. Afternoon COS
tunes will be more dazzling, and will
consist of fiour-sack bodice, fastened
with metallic pants buttons OF the
time Of Henry VIII, and festoOned
with spatter work Of alkali mud and
such other bric-a-brac as Indian taste
may suggest. Ball costumes will be
n heretofore, very atteDuated and
very spare. The infantry pants. 30
commonly worn through the day will
he exchanged for cavalry pants, for
kettle drums and artillery pants for
Shoshone hops. The trail will not he
in vogue this year. the nearest ap-
proach to IL being the tablecloth Coz
tune, held i'm place with embossed
safety pin.
The more frolicsome bellies, however
will wear blue mosquito bar sash ut
the waist, and gents British half
hose. This will be the favOrite even
ing costume. Novelties i'm jeweiry
and ornaments Of all kinds will be
i'm great favor. Necklaces of tin to-
baccO tags strung on copper wire will
be quite common, and bears claws
alternating with the black teeth of
amateur stockmen, and strung ON the
T. string of q violin, will be worn a.
midday costume Crinoline is once
more recognized among the ton of the
ShoshOne society, and the hOOpskirt
will be adopted there as q crOquet
suit IA soon rs the weather mOderates
"a little SO there will be no risks i'm
wearing II. Old matrons will wear
the hustle, and when worn outside of
a pair Of artillery pants it makes a
unique and attractive promenade COS
tune. A daughter Of SOre-eyed Pei
lean is making. a large number Of
mashes this spring with . striped
corset, which she wears at all recep-
tons and dress parties. A new caprice
for morning wrap will be an imita-
ton army Overcoat, with dOOr-mat
drapery. This will be worn, too, on
picnic excursions, IL search of pitch
pine logs for the morning fire. The
hair vii! be worn plain In most cases,
with bandoline Of buffalo tallow and
Oriental tar. The time-hOnored hair
ornament OF the tribe, consisting of
specimens Of the time
of Queen Elizabeth, will he shown on
all occasions. Prudish old maids,
with no special attractions i'm form or
features, have recently severely criti-
cised the costume adopted during the
present month, by bevy Of ShOshone
bellies, which consists of an alpaca
and dash Of red paint
While the suit Is. Of course. open to
adverse criticism. II displays the fig
ure better, and is far less expensive
than the Jersey or pull-back of the
pale face.-BW Nye.
