said Happy Jack, ''has ever gone in
there before to ask for secrets. You
must be very careful, sir, very careful
indeed, for sometimes even money won't
save mans scalp if these savages get
the idea into their heads that you are
going to betray them"
Here Happy jack drew off his
horse to the right and l followed him.
A few steps through the trees and we
halted at the door of the medicine
lodge.

There was no response to this saluta-

secret society than that of Clio Hall at
old Princeton.
The Indian in question was dressed
in a long, brilliantly colored blanket,
girdled with a silver belt around his
waist, fillet of beadworx about his
hair, pair Of leggined moccasins and
stringed necklaces of varicolored beads
about his neck. He wore look of gro
tesque gravity on his funereal face, and
as we entered the door of the medicine
lodge behind him a casual observer
might easily have supposed that
funeral cortege was descending the
steps of n family vault. And in very
sooth it was vault of secrets. mys-
terious aspect lay on everything. The
interior of the room was strewn with
cabalistic curios. Painted sand pictures
on the floor, to'yens and watteaux on
the walls, which were succeed with all
sorts of weird sketches; loose tangles
of leathern strings, shod at the ends
with deer or buffalo horn; plumed ar
rows, sacred painted cigarettes, sweat
house sheepskins, the notched wands,
the "whizzer," the sacrifcial sticks,
mysterious Masonic charts and little
glass mirrors.
The lodge itself was simple conical
structure of large. partially hewn pin
ion logs, set on end and inclined at an
angle of about forty-lve degrees, 50 as
to join one another on top, where they
formed the apex of the lodge. The cir

and the smoke hole were. passage
or entry about Ave feet high and
three feet wide led from the
body of the lodge to the outer door
way, where some blankets hung as por~

with sods and earth TO keep out the
wind and rain. The lodge was eight
feet in height and twenty-five feet in
diameter at the base

shopping Bags.

The favorite shopping-bag for both
young and elderly women who like
some receptacle for handkerchief, men,
oranda and the trifes accumulated in
shopping is one of rich black brocade
or heavy corded silk, lined and drawn
up on shirr-string. Often such bags
of black satin are entirely covered by a
second bag made from joining many
brass rings that have first been covered
with black twist in double crochet
stitch. Sometimes n band or wide
border of these rings Joined together
covers the upper part of the bag only.
Out of this style of decoration has
grown one of the decorative novelties
of the day, which is very popular in
Europe, and which is just coming into
use here. 1t consists of cardboard
molds that are slightly raised, covered
with silk or linen thread in simple
crochet stitch. The molds come in the
shape of circles, ovals, squares and
hearts, in leaf and in convention flower
form. Often the crochet work is made
more elaborate by cdging each form
with purled border, like the lacy
loops seen in tatting. The centers OF
the forms may be filled out with a
crocheted chain of stitches, or with
fancy embroidery and lace stitches
done in silk or in gold thread.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

And Everybody Was Happier Except the

The pretty, plump, demure young
