Along with letter from Miss Grace
Howard, the daughter OF Mr.. Joe How
ard. Jr.. who has Just gone back TO her
work among the Indians at Grow Creek
Agency in South Dakota there arrived
a picture of the home she has volun-
tarily chosen. a little cottage on the
prairie with not a tree in sight, not so
much as bush 10 break the nonotouy
Her nearest neigh bOrs are some Indian
families who have built houses at tho
distance OF perh haps third of a mile.
II she wishes to see white faces she
must ride thirteen miles TO the agency.
and there Is no town within seventeen
miles Miss Howard mas a grant OF
eighty acres from the Government and
has ten Indian girls living in the house
with her. Her work is really an indus
trial project. rather than a missionary
or an educational one. She is making
a brave effort TO organize employments
which shall furnish work to the Indian
women. The girls who return from
Hampton Institute, she writes. have
learned some of the ways of civiliza-
ton, but there is absolutely no incen-
tive for them TO go on with the new
life they have begun. For the Indian
l., Il.
the girl there is nothing. Housekeep-
ing in Sioux cabin is too simple TO
furnish much occupation and II she
wishes to sew there is not rag or
scrap on which to employ the needle
Miss Howard is taking advantage of
the fact tha: the strongest desire OF ths
Indian who has come in contact ever sc
remotely with white people is to wear
white peoples clothes. The girls who
live in the house with her are taught to
cut and f and make buttonholes The
garments which are turned out at this
little home factory are put on sale al
moderate prices, and their teacher
hopes that the beginnings Of business
are being established which may in
time grow TO supply larger number OF
women who are sorely in need of it
with something TO do
Miss Howard SCOTS at the idea that
she is in her self-decreed banishment
in any need of sympathy. She bas
filled her home with the thousand and
one refnements that are necessaries OF
life TO the cultivated woman. and sends
East in triumph photographs OF her
pretty sitting room. She SAYS that the
heighth OF an Indians ambition is to

has achieved q mountainous Saratoga
and slowed away in il every srtirle Of
every description she possesses she sits
down in the middle Of her cabin and
smiles in serene Sioux satisfaction.
when the Woman's Press Club gave
its last order FOR stationery the clever
young women who compose IL and who
must be supposed "au fait'' In the re-
quirements OF polite correspondence
decided upon two varieties OF note
sheets. one fashionable standard. the
other novelty. For the standard they
chose white linen paper. without gloss.
