SQUAW CLUB IN MAINE.
Wives of Tarratine Indians Organize
the Wa-bn-na-ki.

TIC "a.UNenO.k1s
Waba-na-ki is the name of a wom-
ans club in Maine. All the members
of this organization are squaws and
belong to the Tarratine tribe, the rem
nant of which lives on Indian island,
in the Penobscot river, opposite Ban
gor. The members are nearly all pure
Indians, but not the kind of greasy
cid women, with red shawls over their
stout shoulders, and odors more numer-
Gus than pleasant emanating from their
bodies. A picture of the Tarratine type
hangs in the reception room of the Tar
ratine club in Bangor, and is dedicated
to the red and unwrinkled dame who
posed for it-Molly Molasses-who died
at the modest age of 100 years, accord
ing to the tradition on Indian island.
There are other squaws as dark of
skin, eyes and hair, but graceful, self
possessed, agile in movement, fluent in
speech, and who speak pure English.
Prominent among this class is Mrs.
Martha Nicolar, of Old Town or, more
properly speaking, of Indian island.
She is the wife of one of the leading
men of his tribe, Horace Nicolar, and is
the first president of the Wa-ba-na-ki
club, of which dozen of her Tarratine
sisters form the membership.
Mrs. Nicolar, the clubs first presi-
dent, is a descendant of high Indian
blood. while her husband comes from
equally pure Tarratine stock. The Soc
cabasins came straight down from old
Peter SOCIALISM,, who, at the age of
106, wandered away from the island and
persisted in the great north woods be-
fore he could be found. 10 Nicolar, an
other father of club women, was the
historian of his tribe, and constant
opponent of marriages between girls
pot the tribe and white men. In spite
of him the young folks have welded
where they would, and some of the
white blood is in the Wa-ba-na-ki club
to-day. This club will do great work
for its tribe. Its first purpose is the
establishment of an industrial school
on Indian island, and they will hold
sale soon in which their own handi-
work will go to swell the fund which is
to be put into the new institution. The
club members have deep appreciation
of their mission. They are fully awake
to the need of reforms in the social
conditions of their people. Besides set
ting the club work a-going in the tribe
these women will apply themselves to
the collection OF the history of the Tar
ratines.

LORRAINE RIBBON WORK.
Fancy for This Sort of Thing IL on
the IncreaRe

Fancy for This Sort of Thing IL ON
the Increase.
Though the ribbon work known as
Lorraine work" has been in fashion
for some time the craze for it seems to
be on the increase. It is now used for
gowns as well as for small fancy arti-
Giles, as sachets, note books, cushions or
screens. One of Chicagos leading
drcssmakers has prepared white satin
skirt embroidered up each seam with
suitable desi gn, which is to be worn at
ball near at hand. The effect of the
embroidery is much improved by the
addition of spangles and sequins. The
bodice is embroidered to correspond.
Such work must be done most care
fully, or the beauty of the whole dress
would be spoiled. The method of work
ing is really very simple, as each petal
and leaf is formed by the ribbon, which
is threaded into the needle and passed
through the material and only occa-
sionally stitch or two needs to be
added in fine sewing silk. Small French
knots are introduced as centers to
small flowers, and raised flowers are
worked by just gathering small por-
ton of the ribbon into shape before
placing it where required.
Dinner table centers and dovlies
worked to match are the smartest and
newest idea, and just at this season
decorative needlework comes in most
OPPORTUNITY. En- PEASANT, it may be
suggested that on a large table broad
ribbons can be most effectively intro
duced, and these must be arranged ac-
cording to individual taste, and also
with regard to the silver or other orna-
ments in hand for decoration. Much
depends upon the arrangements for
lighting, whether candles, lamps, or
electric light be used. Two broad rib
bons twisting in and out of the base of
lamps, fowerpots or dessert dishes are
most effective in two colors. Starting
from the center and ending in bows
at each corner, this is much admired.
and if candles are used or shaded lamps
their shades should match the ribbon.

A Music Box That Knew What Air

81 am fond of music, and, as do not play

nearly score of melodies, from the sacred

recesses. There were bells and cymbals,

only one way to cure deafness, and TINT is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu.

this tube gets inhamed you have rumbling

entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;

A Very Comfortable Garment to Slip

woman thinks twice before putting one

To save these silk waists all sorts of

many of them are really a success. They
are so comfortable and becoming that
one becomes attached to them.
Perhaps the most comfortable, and
yet the dressiest of all of them, was

exactly like the box coats that are SO
