the Navajo blanket is ahead of any Of
the handiwork of the other tribes.
They are clever enough to weave blan-
kets with the different designs on the
opposite sides, but of late years their
work has deteriorated somewhat be-
cause of the substitution of inferior
aniline dyes bought from the traders
for permanent native dyes formerly
used, aud also on account of the yarn
got from the same source, instead Of
that laboriously twilled by the hands
OF the Indians They are great at
weaving belts, sashes, carriers, and
saddle girths. The Navajo woman
finds her greatest diversion In this oc-
cupation, and the acquisition of money
is by no means the chief motive that
actuates her in producing a blanket
Il at is really a work of art, for after
wearing it a little while, till the charm
of newness is gone, she will sell it at
a price that doesn't at all compensate

sidiously as their poorest neighbors,

It as more in the light OF pastime than
