This young lady did not carry bou-
quet, but an ivory prayer-book held in
both hands. If she wore a bouquet al
all, it was suspended at her side by
ribbon or chain, which would be good

the flowers during the reception. Dress

Evolution in Indian Dress-A Funny Story

Indians who visit Washington almost
invariably come to have their pictures

most of this copper colored patronage to
q reporter. Hanging over there on the
wall you may see a rather interesting
series of portraits illustrating the evolu-
ton of the red man in the matter OF
habiliments from his primitive condition
to the likeness of the newest London
fashion plate. The first picture, as you
observe. represents him in aboriginal
togs complete. In the next he has on a
pair of pantaloons-always the first white
mans garment adopted by the Indian.
He wears the trousers with his ordinary
tribe costume in other particulars, in
Guiding beads, feathers, etc., until, as is
shown in the third photograph, it occurs
to him to add waistcOat and billed
shirt. The feathers and beads disappear
at this stage, and Mr.. Lo goes about in
his shirt sleeves, feeling very enlightened
for some time before the coat is put on.
Then, as you see in the fourth picture,
collar and cuffs and silk hat are assumed,
and Mr.. Lo sprouts out very likely into
a regular bowling swell on the Piccadilly

4 Now Avenue of Employment Opened to

The avenues Of employment for wom-

least dozen houses in Kansas City are
employing women in this capacity, and
their number seems to be constantly in

A woman may be book-keeper or .
typewriter and yet be the most feminine
creature Imaginable, despite her bust
ness relations, but the female dunner
would seem to be another kind of husi-

very promptly the question of how much
distinction must be made between .
woman and man in the same business.
One thing is certain, one can not kick .
lady collector out Of the Office.
The female collectors are for the most
part young women, and, according to
their employers, they are as persistent
and as successful in their business as
men. Their mode Of operation, how
ever, is somewhat peculiar, and they do
not seem to go about the collection of .
bill the same way as man. A reporter
happened in an Office yesterday where
fifteen or twenty young men were work.
Ing. While he was talking with the
manager well-dressed young woman
walked in and inquired for one of the
young men. He was pointed out to her,
and while the whole Office watched her
she walked over to his desk and began q
conversation with him in q tone so low
that no one could hear. After talking
for few moments she turned to 20, and,
raising her voice, said:
'sIf you don't come in and settle I'll be
around again on Saturday."
When she was gone the young man
came in for an unmerciful guying, and
It is safe to say he made desperate eff
