The Indians have made their party
calls. That is, after the studio tea, to
which the party Of nine Sioux gentle
men was invited by Mrs. Gertrude
Kasehier the other day, to have their
pictures taken. In fact. they have
made a great many calls. and the tea
was the beginning of a round OF festivi-

an invitation, or even call without
an invitation, is considered the equiya-
lent to a declaration of friendship for
life. and they do not neglect any of the
