20 MANY different gowns are re-
- auired for the summer outfit that
it would seem at first glance as
though it were impossible to have
much of a variety, as the materials
used in the construction of one and all
must needs be the same. But the in
yentive power of the modern couturiere
is apparently unlimited, and week after
week-indeed, almost day after day
are new designs given to the public.
Most attractive Of all this seasons
fashions are the gowns intended for
indoor wear in summer. There is nat
urally not so much distinction between
the indoor and outdoor gowns for sum-
mer as for winter, for the same at
tractive costume that is suitable for a
garden party is appropriate in the
house as we'll, and, indeed, 1T requires
the eye of an expert to tell which is in
tended for indoor or outdoor wear. The
rather over-elaborate styles are espe-
cially in demand, and if the material
has not a lot of patterns and designs
in it, then it must needs be given by
embroidery or lace that is inserted or
appliqued on it, so that either a great
deal of money or a great deal of time
generally both-must be employed in
gaining the desired result.
Black and White Popular
Black and white effects are seen in
these gowns much more than in any
~d ,tyI,if 1on ;-
bined. Black lace is made up over
white Innings and then has heavy white
applique work upon 1t, either lace or
heavy embroidery, put on in ara
besques or circles or In some figured
design, and an immense amount of in
pattern.
The new skirts are extremely smart
and show off this style of work to per-
fection. The straight lines and breadths
that were so ugly in the early part Of
the season are rapidly being done away
with, and the skirt that is almost cir
cular in shape. with some fullness di-
rectly in the back and tremendous
flare around the foot is the smartest
one imaginable.
This is the skirt that has given rise
to so much talk about crinoline. I'm
less well cut it would not look we'll
without being held out by some artifi-
cial contrivance-not necessarily erin
oline, but wires, cords or stiffening
When well cut it hangs out of itself,
whether it is circular or many gored,
with a circular effect-that is, the lin
ing may be gored or circular while
the upper part can be entirely circular
and unbroken by seams. If there are
seams they must be cleVerly hidden
where they are put together or by the
pattern of embroidery or lace appliques
The conventional house gown is in
reality a tea gown, or rather has many
of the tea gowR's features. Long and
graceful flowing lines are it's marked
characteristic. and of all the gowns in
a woman's wardrobe this is certainly
by far the most attractive. The fash
ion this year is to have it made of lace

slip of any pale color that is becom-
ing. A net with a round dot in 1t is
a favorite model, and then on this is

are graceful, although they are cut

STRUGGLES WITH SAVAGERY

were II number Of tcpees which shell
tered the parents of children who had
journey from the reservation to visit
their offspring. Many of the boys went
to visit the tepees and here at Il glance
could be seen the great problem which
the government is facing when it tries
to bring the Indian out OF his rut.
When the boy MAS in the school
house grounds his bearing was hat OF
a soldier His we'll fitting cadet coat,
showed plainly the effect of the school
training upon him. But as he passed
through the gates and wendell his way
to the tepees, every step made him
more indian and less white man. When
he reached the dirt and squalor of his
parents roof he was all Indian and he
bumped himself on the ground just as
his father and mother did and in a
trice all the soldierly training was
lost. and he was nothing more than a
slouching Indian contented with he
dirt and the lazy life of his forebears.
This is one of the greatest difficulties
OF the authorities in the education Of
the young Indian. They may keep him
| at school as long as they like. may put
him in Il cadets uniform and instil
into him all the virtues of the white
man, but no sooner does he go back
TO the reservation than all vanishes
and in a few short months he becomes
like his fellows. Now and again one
rises above his stratum n through
| sheer force of will keeps to the higher
standard, but these are very few. The
fact that they are required to work
drives all the ambition out of their ma
lures, and then they go back to the te-
pee and the wigwam. to the filth and
bestiality, contented so long as they
have something to eat and. IL the gods
are willing, something to drink.
AhOlf n mile from the SchDO some
enterprising white a la started an
Indian show. He had gathered to-
gether about a dozen decrepit old men
and women who all day long delighted
eNcursionists With war dances. The
children from the school peeped over
the canvas at the exhibition and jeered
at the dancers. 1t seems that the cos
tunes Worn by some of the braves and
squaws We're not wha they should have

vas tops were extraordinarily keen. and
