Indian Territory Fashions.

A letter from the Indian Territory to
the st. Louis Glove Democrat, says: 1t is
true these Usage, Kaw, Ponca and Otoc
Indians nearly all wear leggings, mecca
sins and blankets and eschew the clothes
of white men and women. They are
also addicted to high colors and paint
their faces as many white women do
Occasionally a woman is seen in full
dress, with a stripe of vermillion an inch
wide extending from the forehead past
the crown of the head to the nape of the
neck, the hair being specially parted for
that purpose. But such vanity falls far
below that which invcnts the towering
pomaded head-dresses of extra fashion
able white women. Both men and
women wear earrings and brooches.
The earrings are generally in the form
of bangles. Imagine lingering of
round silver wire, and on this loosely
strung by their smaller ends half dozen
little silver bangles about an inch long
and shaped precisely as tin dinner horn
with t1ange at the mouth, and you have
fair description of these bangled rings.
Those who can afford them wear gold
instead of silver sometimes, but the In
dams fondness for the latter metal or
naments is never wholly overcome. Holes
are punched in the boys ears, and as
they grow the holes enlarge. They are also
often torn larger by accidents, and many
old men have Sits in their ears an inch
in length. Some have the rings on the
tops of their ears instead of the lobes,
but this is a matter of fancy, you
know.
Frequently bracelets of imitation wan
pun are worn by both sexes. The i'm
portation of genuine wampum has near
" ceased. 1t is very expensive, costing
auout one dollar per inch at wholesale.
The imitation is made of bone, and costs
about ten cents per inch, three pieces in
length The genuine wampum is said to
be wholly from China. But some may
ask, "What is wampum" In appear
ance it looks like q piece of white mac.
aroni, an inch long. 1t is made of white
shells into sticks and then bored length
wise in some peculiar manner The GEN.
ter of each piece is a trihe larger in di-
ameter than at either end. 1t is worked
in with bead work and made up by itself,
and is more precious to an Indian than
any other commodity.
