little soubrette CONNECTION is of laven-
der China silk, and is indescribable,
being fluffy ruffies affair of ripping
ruffles. 1t is dainty and exquisitely
pretty, and with this are worn another
mass of silk colored ruffles and Iaven-

Finally the queen of the wardrobe
was presented and called forth my
deepest respect. It is an Indian garb,
not the one at present displayed in
? Gurrey's art shop window but an.
other, and prettier even than that.
It is made of buckskin. The skirt
is bordered by a double row of tan
leather strips, effectively combined
with cut steel beads. Above these is
another border composed of mother
!, of-pearl discs set in a framework of
,glistening beads. The center front of
the skirt depicts a sunburst, the body
of which is a solid orb of gold beads
with the rays alternately embroidered
in vermilion and green, pink and blue,
and solid silver The bodice is Dor
dered round the neck, sleeves and hem
with tan leather strips. In the center
front is also a starburst of red and
silver beads. The belt is fringed with
leather similar to the skirt and bodice
; with inserts of mother of pearl.
This gown was presented to Miss
Leota in North Yakima, Washington.
by an old squaw, at the time she was
playing in dramatic stock company.
It is supposed to be IS years old.
The gown now on exhibition at
Gurrey's was given to Miss Leota by
chief of the Flathead reservation in
Kalespell, Montana, and was made by
one of his squaws for his princess Pc
tahontas. 1t is valued at $3.50 and
the wig that accompanies it, made by
real Indian hair cost $50.
Miss Leota wears all these costumes
, in her one act sketch nightly, chang
ing from one to another during the
singing of one song by her partner on
I the stage.
