AMONG THE LAST CHIPPEWAS.
HOW THIS OLD INDIAN RACE is LIVING IN
UPPER MICHIGAN.

UPPER MICHIGAN.
Far up in the forests OF Michigan near the
swamps of Saginaw. there is settlement OF the
tribe of Indians commonly called Chippewas, but
more properly known Ojibways Women mis-
slonaries live among them. yet the manner OF life
is at best but primitive.
The industry followed is the fashioning OF axe
handles. stocks for whips and barrel-hoops The
women are basket-weavers. although they make
chiefly the useful kinds the absence OF fancy Will
low articles that are merely curios Is remarked by
visitors.
berry picking is another occupation followed In
its season. and farming. both for themselves and
as laborers for others is one or the regular en-
ploymcnts OF the men. Hunting. trapping and hsh-
ING seem TO have as much fascination for these
neople as when they were savages OF the wilds.
Their canoes are hollowed-out logs. really dug
outs OF the same kind used by the squaws when
they used to paddle these primitive boats through
the marshes OF Wild rice and pull the grain down
over the blanket spread out on the canoe then

zion lives out OF doors In summer, some under the

There is no prettier material for the spring than

light and hangs as gracefully gauze. Gray

lace makes ideal toilet. On the bodice the poplin
crepe is tucked 10 form yoke and narrow vest
this is bordered with lace and strapped over by
fla, bows OF black velvet and steel buckles. The
upper part of the skirt is trimmed with clusters OF
tucks separating three rows Of entredeux, and a
velvet bow with steel buckle is placed each
line Of Insertion This forms band of these
quaint bows, beginning at the throat and extending
halfway down the skirt.
A model gown is a red poplin deliberately adorned
with trimming devised of guipure lace. white
cloth and red silk braid. The gown is cut with a
tunic double breasted the bust. the trimming
starting from the shoulders and bordering the en-
tire garment.
Another gown that is certainly effective Is of a
