Navajo baskets, and those made by
the sixty odd tribes of Indians of the
Southwest, are immensely popular,
even when their cost runs over 800.
The old ones are practically indie

One New York matron who secured
several rare water baskets and jars
from California planned to give her
friends a great surprise at an after

legends woven in rich shades of brown,
were ostentatiously displayed and
greatly admired. When the punch was
brought forth and poured into them it
Immediately distributed itself upon
everything within reach, greatly to tie
chagrin of the disappointed hostess.
She had not considered that her bas-
kets had not been put to their natural
uses for many years, and required
special trea tment to make them water
tight once more.
Flat, bright-hued Alaskan mats and
large, shallow, richly wrought grain
bowls of the Pueblos and Navajos, to-

colors.
Less decorative, but perhaps more
interesting, are the implements Of
warfare-tomahawk and hatchets;
heavy, uneven balls of stone held firm

arrows, and strangely wrought and
carved sticks whose former uses were
as implements of death. These grim
reminders of frontier massacres afford
