TULAROSA, New Mexico, Feb.
With a thrill of anticipation
that sparkles in their dusky eyes
and deepens the copper of their
cheeks, the 1915 class of Mescal-
ero-Apache Indian debutantes are
awaiting the annual coming out
party" of their TRIBE on the res
ervation near here.
1t is the social event of the tri-
bal season, for 20 years forbidden
by the government, but again per-
mitted during the past three.
Combining religious ceremonial
with the graceful dancing of the
young girls and their admirers
during a four-day festival, the
event is one of the most fantastic
and brilliant Indian pageants
staged by the southwestern abort
gines.
Already the mothers and grand
mothers are busy making the won
derfully-adorned buckskin cos
tunes to be worn by the debutan-
ties, although the coming out
party" is not scheduled before
June. These dresses readily
command $50 each from white
visitors at the reservation, al
though most of them are held
priceless for sentimental reasons.
At the appointed time the
young buds" of the tribe gath
er in specially constructed
girls tepee, made of poles with
green leaves at the top and COW
cred with tarpaulin, the sides
being closed by felled trees.
Attired in their finery, trying
to appear innocent of the admir-
ing stares of the men, and imbued
with the religious significance
that attaches to the ceremonial,
the girls begin the festival by rum
ming toward the sun with a grac-
full dance step.
After they have again retired
to their sacred tepee. the young
males come out, decked in eagle
feathers and with painted bodies
begin dance about fire before
the girls cloister. Marching to-
ward the tepee from the four
points of the compass, they salute
the tepee gravely. After this the
old men and young. together with
priests and the little boys, encir-
Gle the fire for hours to the beat
of the tom-tom.
And then the girls come out,
timidly, joining in with slow, even
step. Throughout the entire night
the girls alternate between dane
ing and sitting about the glowing
fire in their own tent where the
priests are droning their incanta-
tons.
The girls are not allowed to

started a rapid advance.
The tracks are frequent thrown
out of alignment, and in a short
time. If the movement continues,
traffic will be an impossibilty, re-
pairs or construction trayesty.
On the east side of the stream
the choice of an alternative route
is made impossible by the, towering
eieht-mile face OF the Miles Gla-
eier. And 1t too is advancing.
The worlds great biologists ac-
eept what Is known as the Bruch-
ner theory of glacial retreat and
advance. Every 35 or 40 years eli
matte changes. so the theory goes,
start these great ice masses on an
advance or retreat. They are now
advancing. the pendulum having
swung only a few years ago, ma
jestically, irresistibly. The Alas
ka ice rivers are growing longer,
thicker, more terrible.
In few years the Childs and
the Mil S glaciers promise to be
debouching their swollen torrents
of Ice and rock In one great
grinding churn over the very
right-of-way where the Morgans
laid their rails.
No wonder j. Pierpont Morgan

suddenly been converted to gov
eminent ownership of railroads!

SEATTLE, Feb. 1.-The mighty
glaciers of Alaska have converted
j. Pierpont Morgan to acknow-
lodged belief in government oper-
alton of railways. Morgan, the
son OF Morgan, who looked upon
public ownership as anarchy.
The ice rivers have converted
him by threatening his properties
with humiliation. Before that
happens he'd like to dispose of his
Copper River & estern
road to the United States. -.
To this end he has already con-
ferred with President Wilson, lay
ing before him the many advan-
tages" of adding a railway al
ready built to the projected line
into the coal fields.
But the facts that have made
him, for the time being, such an
ardent champion of government
owned railroads, were not men,
toned to the President by Nor
gan.
Here they are:

the morning. They invite the
men. And should the invitation
be declined--respectfully - the

During the day the entire as

the golden mixture, the girls in
turn amounting the priests.

T0GS FOR TENNIS GROUND
Season Will Be Utilized and I'M
proved Upon.

The question of tennis attire will
soon be upon us and it seems likely
that the changes which made their
appearance toward the end of last
summer will be found to have estab-
lished themselves and that there may
be even more to come. The wider
skirts. too. will make for greater grace
and freedom. Cotton poplin, fiowered
voile and crepon, the new materials.
as well as the new soft piQues, will
come in for full share of patronage.
A distinct Rubicon has been crossed of
late with regard to dress for the game
since the passion for color invaded its
sacred domain, 30 long consecrated to
white. 1t is neither likely nor desir-
able. Of course, that this will be the
case to any great extent, but the little
touches of color that are now allow.
able on tennis court are q decided re.
lief to the monotony.
One of the latest Innovations is the
wearing of gray shoes and stockings
instead of the traditional white. with
perhaps a pale gray hat and tie. Deli
cate gray and white are, strangely
enough. a perfectly charming mixture
giving a wonderful effect of coolness
Another welcome diversity is provid
ed by the fiowered crepons that have
been so much the vogue.

.FRILL IS PROMINENT
REALLY THE CHIEF INNOVATION
OF THE YEAR.
FIuffiness Is Again on the Throne
Compromise Between Fashion and
Comfort in the Two-in-One Col
Iar-Colored Linens.

The most noticeable innovation this
year is the addition of frills. OF course
it is not an innovation really, but a
revival. The jabot blouse had its last
incarnation about six years ago or so.
We were wearing very high collars
with bones all around them then. In
struments of torture that they were!
Some women used to carry pads of
cotton wool in their purses, ready to
tuck bit under tips of supports which
were digging holes in their necks.
When the no-collar edict was extend
ed to blouses we were all thankful
Frills then left us for a while, and
the forerunner of the present two-in-
one collar, a turnover affair leaving a
pointed opening in front, was in vogue.
Last year the blouse was the waist
coat model of handkerchief linen and
pique, with flaring collar points. The
effect was very smart and a good quail
ity was sold at 25 francs in Paris and
SIS in New York! This year fluffiness
reigns again. For more strictly tai
lOred wear the ingenuity Of the two
in-one collar makes a compromise
between fashion and comfort in plain
blouse. Frills, however, invading all
our garments, even our shoes and
gloves, form veritable cascades down
the front of our blouses.
After several all-white seasons COL
ored linens appear again this year and
colored organdies-of transparency!
We have to be as careful how we
dress under them as we used in the
days of the rpeek-a-boo" waist, as vul-
gar as its name. AS soon as the coun-
try houses are occupied and the coun-
try season in full swing we shall know
whether the colored fabrics have been
extensively adopted or not. In town.

Frocks for Girls.

There is nothing newer in the line
of frocks for little girls than the coat
AID skirt combination carried out in
contrasting fabric. Sometimes the
coat is Of colored linen, over a skirt
Of white linen; again It may be of vel
vet over ruined lace skirt or q coat
of fiowered pussy willow silk may be
combined with a skirt of frilled and
shirred net. Children's skirts are very
short and flare from the belt. The lit
tie coat has straight lines in mandarin
effect, and Is usually sleeveless, with
a lower edge cut in scallops or square
tabs. Sometimes a sash of knotted
velvet falls from beneath this loose.
