FROM OTHER PENS
SAVING THE RED REMNANT.


There are said to be about $500
North American Indians now living
within the confines of the United
States. 1t has been estimated that at
the time Columbus landed there were
in the same area about 100000 of the
aborigines. If the figures are right
considerably more than half of the
Indians have been cut off b disease.
firewater and bullets. The reds did
some things to the whites, but the
whites did more than some things to
the reds.
1t is declared that the Indians now
are holding their own in numbers, and
that if they disappear it will be by as
similation with the conquering race.
Possibly amalgamation is not for pres
ent discussion, here at any rate, but it
is a good thing to know that the white
man who did his best to kill off the
red man is today trying to show him
how to live SO that his race may con-
tinue to be represented in a land which
once it owned, forest plain, mountain,
lake and river.
Once on time the American Indian
lived the kind of an outdoor life which
kept disease away from the wigwam
and the open campfire. When civiliza-
ton crept on him he got liking for
stuffed crevices and oxygen-consuming
stoves. The whites brought disease in
many kinds to the reds. but in recent
years they have been teaching the
wards how to get rid of them and, bet
ter, how not to contract them
The Indian schools have done much,
the plain philanthropist with real
methods and no fads has done more.
If the Indian can hold his present
numbers it will be said by the his
torian of the far future that here was
one aboriginal race which the intruder
thought worth saving and did save

EVENING CHIT
When Tolerance Becomes a Vice.
BY RUTA CAMERON.

i
| Tolerance is one of the finest quail
tiles in the world, that is. when it is
the right kind of tolerance. For there
| are two kinds. One is fathered by
| broad mindedness and mothered by
charity. The other is fathered by use
| kind that Pope described when he
wrote:
''Vice is a monster of such frightful
mien
AS to be hated needs but to be seen,
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her
face
We first endure, then pity, then en-
brace"
All of which is a rather more
grandiloquent and severe introduce
ton than l meant to write for some
very simple remarks.
Some two or three years ago a
young girl in our neighborhood had
new evening gown made quite scant
and with small slit down the right
side. The slit was not more than
three or four inches in width and was
filled with accordian plated chiffon.
But my. what lot of talk that gown
did create! For two or three DAYS
after the dance at which it made it's
! debut, we talked of little else than
sheath and split gowns. The conser-
vatives raved about their immodesty
and vowed never to countenance the
fashion; the radicals engaged dress
makers and sent for patterns.
Today how much attention would
such a gown excite?
None whatever.
p The conservatives who raved about
its immodesty are wearing gowns in
finitely more immodest themselves.
and thinking nothing of it. Why?
Simply because they have seen so
much of this sort of thing that they
have grown tolerant" of it.
A gown split up to the knees is a
commonplace in our streets today II
takes a gown split even further up to
shock us now. One wonders-or yath-
er one scarcely dares to wonder
what it will take to shock us two or
three years from now.
Doubtless you remember what a
fuss was made about peek-a-boo
waists when they first came in: and
a few little eyelets through which one
could not see the lingerie beneath
unless one deliberately tried to- To-
day perfectly nice girls go about in
waists of which the whole fabric lie
so thin that their lingerie is entireIv
visible to the most casual eye.
Really. when you come to think Of
it. it's quite remarkable how usage
can blunt our feelings, isn't itp
In so far as usage teaches us to
consent to that which was obtection-
able only because it was new. This is
a good tendency. But when II nar0
suades us to tolerate things which arc
intrinsically wrong, it's a very na5
tendency.
