GOLF EUCHRE PARTY

A fair golf enthusiast, who Wal
forced to return to town earlier than
was her wont, sighed fer her favorite
links. She therefore sent out invita-
ions for a golf eucher. and decorated
them in the Cpper corner with a girl in
scarlet coat out on the golf links
swinging her club.
The card tables. covered with green
felt, were the holes and bunkers and.
were indicated by scarlet flags, num-
bered.
The partners matched sticks, passed
by caddies. Scores were kept by drop
ping white marbles into tiny plaid golf
bags, and the prizes were a book on
Golf and Il box Of bonbons. This box
was covered with plaid with crossed
sticks on top.
The players passed from hole to hole
In regular order. The dining room was
decrateG with the hostess collection Of
golf posters, and only ferns and other
green foliage plants
In the center OF the room was a
group OF trees In tubs, the base covered
with green moss. Rustic seats were
placed around the base OF the trees
also In groups through the rooms.

REAL ART EXISTS
AMONG INDIANS
Some Of Their Bead Work
Shows a Most Remarkable
Skill in Designing.

IGvide ace of the existence of some real
art among the Indians is in the posses
sion of q West Side man who spent
five yea 5 as a tribal agent. He Is w.
r. Honlell, of 600 Fremont avenue,
who. until three years ago was III
charge OF the Indian I.gency at Potta-
wattomie Kas. Under his care were
the PottaW1ttomieS, C~hippeWas, Mum
cies, Kick ipoos, Iowas n Sacs and
Foxes. Mr.. Honnell has been a close
student Of Indian history n Indian
character.
There is no doubt of an artistic side
to the indian nature said Mr.. Hon
nell recently. Indians are especially
good in designing, in work that calls
for sureneSs of eye and Steadiness OF
hand. Then they have a good sense
Of proportion and of color. Some bead
work | have seen Is beautiful. l re-
membe some attempts at painting
among The children in our schools.
They used the native Colors made from
the roots of trees in attempts at max
ing pictures"
Although Indian art is rare, the
legends tell of its beginnings. Longfel-
low has written how Hiawatha, prophet
and teacher Of his people, while lament
ing over the absence Of any means of
communication except by spoken lam
guage, wandered
In the solitary forest
Pondering, musing I'm the forest,
On the welfare of his people.
From HE pouch he took his colors:
Took his paints of different colors.
ON the smooth bark of a birch tree
Painted many shapes and figures;
Wonderful and mystic figures.
In Mr.. Honnell's collection of curios
is . pair OF buckskin gloves which hi
prizes very highly. He put on one of
n gloves to show that 1t fitted per-
fectly. On the back of each glove.
carefully worked in beads. are the fig
ures OF a horse and some flowers.
h gloves were made entirely by
hand by a Shoshone woman" said Mr..
Honnell. They were given to me by
her son, who was an industrial teacher
at Pottawattomie. The Shoshone IN
dams live in Montana and Idaho"
Mr.. Honnell exhibited a woman's belt,
three inches vida II three feet long,
made of thousands of many colored
beads, worked in an exquisite design
with an almost perfect blending Of the
COlors.
There are about $4,000 beads i'm this
piece he said. Imagine how long II
must have taken TO string them by
hand. 1t was made by a Chippewa
woman and was given to me while 7
was In wisconsin looking after an out

was and PottaWattomieA.
Bead work is now becoming q LOST
art. Only a few tribes keep it up. The
government, recognizing it's artistic
merit, has tried to preserve it by bav-
ing 1t taught in the government and
reservation schools. But the work Is
tedious n of no practical yalua 20
there is little market for the goods as-
pecially the school made brand. For
that reason it is doomed to disappear"

SCHOOL TEACHERS

"For many years l have used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad

a veteran school teacher.
Ten years ago I was obliged to give
up my much loved work in the public
schools after years of continuous labor.
I had developed a well defined case of
clronic coffee poisoning.
The troubles were constipation,
gatherings of the heart, a humping in
the top of my head and various parts
OF my body, twitching of my limbs,
'aking OF my head and, at times after
exertion, a general gone feeling with
a toper's desire for very strong coffee.
/ was a nervous wreck for years.
"a short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought a package or
Postum with them, and urged me to try
it. | was prejudiced because some
years g | had drunk a cup of weak,
tasteless stuff called Postum which l
did not like at all.
This time. however, my friend
made the Postum according to direc-
tions ON the package. and 1t won me.
Suddenly I found myself Improving In
a most decided fashion.
