Princess Redfeather to Sing at Charles Wakef d Cadman Tonight - Still Clings to Dress of Her Ancestors

Princess Tsianina Redfeather. the young Indian soprano. who will be | heard here soon with the composer pianist. Charles Wakefield Cadman. 1 in his American Indian Music Talk, al the Arizona School of Music to- night. is perhaps the only daughter | of her race among those who have l left the reservation life to mingle | with the whites. who still clings to 1 the traditional Indian dress. She in- i Variably wears a dress of beaded 1 leather. moccaSins and a beaded 1 band about her head with d red feath- l CT standing proudly upright at the back. In cold weather she adds beaded leggins and q blanket cape to her costume Her loyalty to the
 dress of her ancestry is due primar- 1 fly. to the expressed wish of her
 mother, now dead. This mother, not 1 ing the unusual beauty of her little 1 Tsianina (Wild FloWer), begged her 1 to always retain the individuality of
 her race in the matter of dress. New l CT, save for the few years when she attended the government Indian school and was obliged to adopt the | uniform there described has the Princess Tsianina abandoned her In-
 dian garb. She fashions her dresses
 from sheep skins with her own hands
 and works designs in colored beads 1 for their adOrnment The changing {, styles which her white sisters frantl- cally try to follow worry this beau | tiful Indian girl not a bit. Her frocks | of last season are less useful than l those of this only in the degree that i they are worn through service. And she has only to purchase a new red
 quill feather and stick it in her bead ed head dress. Far from envying her adornment, Princess Hsianina frankly says that she considers most of the fashions ridiculous, and thanks her lucky stars that she has no need to become one of the fashion mad crowd The dusky princess usually chooses skins of brown and dark red for her every day dresses, and
 her evening dresses are of pure white trimmed with multi i-coored beads
 Like all Indians, she is very fond If iewelry and she wears quantities of beads about her neck, bracelets of hammered silver and numerous rings Princess Tsianina Redfeather ar rived in Phoenix yesterday morning from the north, ready to give the concert with MT.
