ton there are practically no full blood
Indians. With that aptitude which has
always characterized them where their
own interests are concerned the red
skins have been quick to see that it is
those, Indians in whose veins flows a
strain of Caucasian blood or who have
allied themselves with the white race
that succeed best in the struggle for
place and prosperity.
One of the most notable examples of
this is the famous Quanah Parker,
whose mother, Cynthia Parker, was
white woman and whose father was
full blooded Comanche chief. If not
millionaire, Parker is very near to the
mark. He lives in a handsome two
and a half story house on his big ranch
at the foot of the Wichita mountains
near Fort Sill, Tex, and the remain
ing one of his seven wives is most
strictly up to date in everything re-
lating to dress and housekeeping His
daughters are sent to a fashionable
boarding school, and their father is
most particular that they shall have
all educational trimmings in the way
of music, dancing, painting, etc. The
Misses Parker are good looking young
women and it is safe to say that if
they choose to ally themselves with
any of the young braves of the tribes
they may look for a distinctly I'M
pleasant quarter of an hour when the
fact is announced to their induIgent
parent. Parker is the governor of the
Comanches, and it is suspected that
it is his ambition to occupy a seat
in the United States senate. He has
all his races aptitude for politics, and

absolutely the belle of a dance she
went to. She made herself a little
low necked frock of red dotted swiss
trimmed with a dollars worth of very
narrow ribbon, and she created a
furore.
Other girls rustling by in silks and
chiffonS had to be content with such
partners as she chose to leave them.
The same girl makes a black tailor
made do for two or three seasons, and
she looks stunning in it too. Her hair
is always neatly waved (she does it up
overnight), and it is crowned with a
big black hat bent at a most fetching
angle. The fact that a big black bow
constitutes the only trimming is ap-
parent only after you have looked
twice. The whole costume is kept SO
spicl< and span and is in such excel
lent taste you don't bother going into
details. When / see a girl of limited
means parading around in a soiled

third time she wears it, pale pink or

who will marry her and be forced to
supply the money for her faded.
trashy frippery.
Pale pinl<s and pale blues are all
very well, but they are not for lean
purses or to wear in the boiling sun
and summer dust.
Next to self respect vanity is the
most important asset a woman can
have but a vanity which wants to
make her look spick and span and
lovely on all occasions, not only in the
evening, but on the street, shopping
and in her own home with no one to
see her but her husband and the chill
dren.
Speaking of vain women, have 1 ever
told you the story of friend who
quite worshiped her appearance and
was taken SO i'll every one thought she
was dying?
One day as her weeping relatives
were gathered around her, and she lay
burning with fever, her dull eyes gaz-
ing off into space, she suddenly show
ed signs of intense irritation and be-
gan showing the covering away from
her 1t was a pretty affair, pink, all
Powered over with roses, and no one
could understand her actions. But
finally thinking it was some delirious
working of her brain they took it
away, and then to their surprise she
began to make violent motions in the
direction of the closet. They opened
it and found another quilt there, which
they placed on the bed, as she seemed
very much pleased at the sight of it.
Afterward when she was well again
they asked her what on earth she
meant.

she crawled out to the bathroom,
brushed her teeth, bathed. powdered
her face and curled her hair, tying it
with two long pale blue ribbons; then,
crawling painfully to the bureau
drawer, she extracted therefrom her
newest nightgown and put that on.
When the doctor came in at
o'clock he found a most immaculate,

sirl is becoming weary of
marrying the ilnpecunious
noble of foreign blood and is
going to turn over new leaf and wed
the real American nobleman-noble
red man-who need never be impecu-
NOUS and who is not much darker in
tint than the average Spanish or Ital-

Hilario Willowbird heir to the chief
tainship of the Moqui Indians, Miss
Marion Lush of Brooklyn has follow
ed the example of many other Ameri-
can girls who have found their ideals
in the dusky skinned natives Of this
continent.
Miss Lush is a trained nurse a
graduate of the New York State
Training school. Among her hospital
acquaintance was Fed Eagle, Il
young Indian who was preparing for
a career as a nurse. Red Eagle often
talked of his picturesque life at home
and frequently mentioned his school
chum, Rilario Willowbird
When, after graduation, Miss Lush
went TO Arizona with a patient, one of
the first persons she met was this
same young Willowbird. He had the
good fortune TO rescue her under
rather romantic circumstances from
band of drunken Apaches, and a !
friendship sprang up between the two. +
Miss Lush is slender delicate looking
and girlish, While young Willowbird is
a fine type of physical development.
His eyes are deep gray, and he has a
sunny smile and q ready wit He
dresses in American fashion and looks /
not unlike a very tanned and athletic {
