INDIAN girl in the first cut. Crude as is her
costume, she is not without the attribute Of
vanity. She wears the bright fringes, CAV
beads and feathers SO popular among her race,
and she Is the most stylish girl in her camp.
But in spite of all this she is not happy. She
has vision of her pale-faced sister who is to
supplant her-a vision of Priscilla, the Puritan
maiden. whose portrait forms the subject of

long moss that grows on trees in the south

damp soil in order to rot off the soft, gray
outer covering, and this leaves a hairlike
core for each thread Of moss that is said to
be when dry both soft and elastic, making
an excellent substitute for curled hair. If
the company is successful it will have many
rivals, for this moss exists in unlimited
quantities from Virginia southwark to the
