fad that Miss 1903 will adopt. Indian
basket weaving is already taking up

the enthusiasm displayed for things
Indian. the line is drawn at scalps-
but she will have the moral support
that comes from the consciousness that
scalps are hers, even if good form pre-

st. Paul jewelry shops belts and neck
laces of wampum are now displayed.
The real Wariipum is made from the
interior parts of shells, strung on
threads and colored to suit the fancy,

number OF classes in Indian basket
weaving have been formed in st. Paul,
the members of which are taught by
