The maids hand trembled visibIy as
she poured the wine. She placed

of his face as she did so. Her blue
eyes grew darker still as Sam arose
and said:

told the falsehood.

furiously under her stained cheeks.

heard the cab stop in front Of the

Evening came, and with it the new
maid. AS she entered the room where
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis sat Jessie said to
her husband:
"Oh, Jack. Alice was called home this
afternoon by the serious Hines of her
mother This is Mary, who takes her
place this evening" and Jack, looking
at the dark-skinned, black haired girl
before him, did not for a minute sus-
pect she was dainty Sue Emerson.
While waiting on the guests, the new
maid gave start at the turn the con-
versation had taken.

with a most disconsolate expression on
her face

is the matter?"

she answered. Jack gives stag party

bic barbaric realism, she not
only surprised the surrounding tribes
but save them a few valuable pointers
as well. An Indian tea was about as
far from their thoughts as the North
Pole.
IT wasn't from hers, however. She
sized up the situation with a critical
eye, weighed the pros and cons care
fully and saw no reason why it should
not be a huge success.
Therefore she promptly set TO work.
and when a determined woman really
gets at a thing it usually means that
something is UP and emphatically
doing. To be sure, she had many ad-
vantages. The great Smith home on
Jackson street boasted Of nearly 500
rare baskets. which in themselves gave
her big start to work on.
But that wasn't enough and she
issued a proclamation. Not from her
housetop, to be sure, but where her
friends and her friends friends heard
il. Baskets, blankets and all things
Indian were needed, and the great
double doors We're opened wide TO
receive the avalanche of barbaric
splendor that poured in.
The Persian rugs that graced the re-
ception hall were carried away with a
vandaI hand. and in place of the soft,
mellow colors Of the Far East the
gaudy mountain blanket with its clouds
and its downpour Of rain We're placed
next the one that the chief Of chiefs
alone is permitted to wear. The walls
were fairly lined with baskets, strung
together by a stout invisible thread,
and even the hosDitable looking fire.
place was literally hidden by a multi
tude Of big and little baskets, the prod
uct Of every tribe Of the American
Indian. The chairs, and there were a
few about, which was the only devia-
ton from true wigwam fashion, were
covered with bright scarfs with soft
buckskin coats, or with fur lined
blankets; in fact, nothing was per-
mitted TO bear the slightest sembIance
70 any people save the red men.
The dining and the drawing room
were the only ones that were not
stripped and refurnished and, forsooth,
this wasn't for lack Of material, but
because OF stern necessity.
Tea. punch and cakes were served
and no Indian Of the twentieth cen
tury, especially an invited brave and
lis scuaVy. dressed in their ceremonial
clothes. cared TO squat. with knees
doubled under, true Indian fashion, for
the edification Of the merry onlOokers
Neither did they care TO eat or drink
cut Of a common soup or head basket
so the sparkling cUtglass and silver
retained its place and felt greatly
hOnored in consequence.
Bfic-a-brac was carried out of the
drawing room and Indian relics substi-
tuted. but the baby grand pianos light
was too bright to be hidden under
bushel. and il was transformed into
miniature curiO shop.
Downstairs the big show room vas
the delight and wonderment Of all.
The walls and floors were literally lined
with Indian blankets Of all coIors and
descriptions They hung side by side,
each rivaiing the other and each
mutely striving TO tell its own story,

as readable as the Egyptian HERO

barrie artistic. She pounces upon the
bits of handsome metal which orna-
ment the harness of the broncho or
lean pony of the Mexican Indian. These
ornaments are called "conchos." and
they come in various shapes. Some OF
them are circular. These make hand
some cloak buckles when clasps are
added by a civilized jeweIer Ali
are artistically decorated with de-
signs of the Swastika cross and other
fanciful carvings. In the center OF
each one is a turquoise. which looks
beautiful when set in the silver.
All these popular things will never
become common. because they are ex-
pensive. nor will they go entirely out
of fashion.
The fair barbarian" knows this, so
when she has an opportunity to pick
up these things in her travels she does
so at wholesale. She often pays fabu-
lous prices for genuine antiques OF mill
tary origin and returns home laden
with her sDoils for belt buckles. cloak
fasteners. hair ornaments, dog collars,
rings or bracelets. Thrice fortunate is
she if she can watch the silversmith
deftly hammer the snail design on her
bracelet and belt, and see him insert the
opal perodate, turquoise or Arizona
ruby.
If she desires Swastika cross on her
ring of necklace she signifies this fact
by pantomime, whereupon the Indian
proceeds to carry out her orders. He
whips out his jackknife, a crude affair.
and with his hammer Of stone, shaped
like an egg, and about the size of a
mans fist, he skillfully "engraves" the
quaint cross which represents the four
quarters of the earth. When his task is
completed he says to his Datroness as
he presents the ornament, May the
four winds from the four corners of
the earth blow gently upon you for
ever
Perhaps he hammers and chisels the

ancient Franciscan monks, represent
