selected to officiate in the ceremonies.
These have charge each OF squad Of
dancers. ranging in number from four
to fifteen. The medicine man holds
communion with the sun deity for days
before the dance. and by means OF
visions secures directions as to how he
shall conduct those under his spiritual
tutelage. Matters Of appearance and
dress for the occasion come in for chief
consideration here. All the dancers are
stripped as IN their most primitive
state. except that they wear an abbre-
waited breechcloth. Their bodies and
faces are painted in the most brilliant
cOlors. rendering their appearance IN
some cases hideous, in others demonia-
cal.
Some squads carry emblems of va
rious kinds. such as pastebOard figures
of animals and men. All carry a sprig
OF sage brush. the plant evidently being
sacred to them. Most of them have a
small wooden whistle which they blow,
footing Justify at the same time that
toms-toms are beaten. Lined up in a
row IN the early dawn or late In the
evening, the beating of the drums,
blowing Of whistles and writhing of the
bodies one way and then another is in
deed. weird spectacle. Last Sunday
night the final penance to the sun deity
was performed just before a heavy rain
storm reached the camp, and while it
was approaching. II was supposed to be
sunset The bucks and squaws were
arranged in long line on the open
prairie.
Suddenly White Eagle. after much ges-
ticulating and mumbling in the Ponca
tongue, began the beating OF the TOM
toms. The dancers all took up the
spirit. blowing their whistles for several
minutes. Then the medicine man hav-
ing the squad at one end OF the line
marched the dancers forward about 100
yards. where they faced the west and
stood. Immediately the medicine man,
followed by those in his charge, stretched
forth his right hand as a benediction.
Then followed the cries of the dancers,
the wild wailing OF the squaws for their
dead. and moaning and groaning as Of
wild beasts. The Indians appeared 10 be
imploring. from the very depths of their
souls filled with anguish. protection and
care upon themselves and their dead
relatives. One after another OF these
squads marched out over the prairie just
as day was darkening. mingling their
wild cries with the thunder OF the ap-
preaching storm. Whenever the spirit
moves them the dancers rise from their
places and begin the dance. keeping it
up until there is some kind of signal
given them TO stop. Then they seek the
shelter Of the boughs set up as a sort
OF palsade around a cross. in which
inclosure the dancers spend all the time
performing this annual religious obli-
cation.

over the reservation, some of them re-
turning 10 their civilian clothes. others
to the costumes OF their forefathers.

circle of Indian tents were the tepees

BEAUTY REDUCED TO FIGURES

From the top Of the head TO the chin
should be Just the length Of the foot,
and there should be the same distance
between the chin and the armpits.
A woman Of this stature should meas
ure twenty-four inches about the bust II
measured under the arms, and forty
three inches If over them. The upper
arm should be thirteen inches round, and
the wrist six inches. The calf Of the leg
should be fourteen and one-half inches
round. the thigh twenty-five inches. and
the ankle eight inches.
There is another system OF measure
ments, according to which the distance
twice around the thumb should go once
around the wrist; twice around the wrist
once around the throat; twice around the
throat once around the waist.
The normal woman should reach the
full flower Of her beauty at the age Of
twenty-five, after which it Will gradual
ly decline: while if she reaches her best
development before that age its decline
will be proportionately swift, and she
may have completely lost her beauty at
thirty years Of age.
Unfortunately, the artists who have
reduced the question OF beauty to a
matter Of figures give US no suggestions
for cuItivating the figure which they SO
much admire Nevertheless. the follow
ing rules have always proved Of much
Falue in the past and cannot be too
highly recommended 10 the girl who
wishes 10 acquire a well-proportioned
figure:
A growing girl should always wear
loose clothing. thus rendering herself
absolutely free in her movements. Fresh
air nouri5hing food and plenty Of sleep
are absolutely Indispensable. A daily
bath with soap and water will render
The use of cosmetics quite unnecessary.
Nature will keep the skin soft and beau
tiful If It Is not abused with artificial
preparations.
