The ceremonies were most elaborate
and were not only filed with a true
religious sentiment, but with a spirit
of poetry. Thanks were offered for
the crops which sustained the Indians
life, for the herbs and roots that cured
him or warded off disease, for the
game, for the birds that apparently
had the favor of the Great Spirit in
that they could do what man could
not. for the fishes, who had the same
power in water that the birds had in
air, and for all the blessings that ma
ture lavished on her children The In
dian, like all primitive people, had a

upon as a matter of course, and tan shoes,

ModeIs d. wiver.

modeiS as wives
Models of dressmakers are not always
models of wives, argued a lawyer when
pleading in the Paris divorce court for a
Paris costumier. This person had a par
ticular fancy for models. He married one
long ago, whereupon she ruined his bust
ness and drove him to seek and obtain n
divorce. But. not content with this expert
ence. the fashionable dressmaker married
a second model after he had recovered a
part of HIS lost fortune. She turned out
no better than the first, and did even worse
by running away with an "amant." The
lawyer concluded as follows: do not re-
fuse my client the divorce he asks for.
There are still plenty of models in the Rue
de la Paix and the Place Vendome. and
perhaps The court very generously
granted the dressmaker the divorce he
asked for, leaving him at fun liberty to
choose a third "mannequin'' for his wife.

There are some writer's who do not
