Tomahawks and Indian campfire constituted
one OF the principal features OF the cotion given
iast night at DelmOnico's by the organization
known as the Senior CotiIlon- During this par
tcular Indian figure all lights in the ballroom wer.
dimmed save those that glowed beneath the siz-
cling kettle. which. OF course. did contain ths
customary dog. but around which the braves
danced, brandishing their tonahawks to the tinkls
OF the Indian tambourines. beaten by the women
and young girls who only for this particular occa
sion could be described squaws. In another fig
ure the lights were entirely extingUished and the
sole illumination was furnished by tiny electric
bulbs in the interior OF the parasols beneath which
