@ Marshall selected q
~ Il Navajo Indian blan-
~ ~ ket as a wedding pres
mV " ent to Mrs. Woodrow
IVA Wilson, he unwilling
ly started a novel
vogue in hymeneal
fashions. The gor-
geous products of Navajo looms
promise to figure extensively among
the wedding gifts of many of this sea-
sons brides. The war has almost
stopped the importation Of Turkish
and Persian rugs, and it is predicted
that Navajo Indian blankets, which are
used for rugs and couch covers, will
become a fad with cOnnoisseurs who,
heretofore, only had eyes for oriental
floor coverings.
The particular kind of blanket
which the vice president secured Is
known only to himself, but it is said
to be one of the rarest of it's kind.
The gift was unique in its genuine
Americanism, for it was woven by an
original American, on an original
American loom, from wool sheared
from Navajo sheep, bred and reared
on the Navajo reservation, and colored
with the vegetable dyes which only
Navajo squaws know how to make-a
singularly appropriate gift for the
bride of an American president.
Navajo blankets range in value from
a few dollars for the common kind
usually purchased from traders, to
$500 and upwards for the stunning
fabrics woven by expert and famous
weavers only for head chiefs. The
latter are hard to find, and their value
is constantly on the increase.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Cato
Sells is bending his energies to the
development and encouragement of in
come-producing industries among his
Indian wards, and in his last annual
report he lays strong emphasis upon
the Navajo blanket industry, which, he
shows, continues to be the most i'm
portant and remunerative of the native
Indian industries, giving the Navajos
an annual revenue of over 100000.
Nearly seven hundred blankets were
displayed; many of them were packed
overland for a distance of 125 miles,
through the rough, arid country which
is characteristic of the Navajo reserva-
ton. Mrs. Yabbiny Begay, an unedu-
Gated squaw, but famous for her fine
weaves, captured the first prize of
$500; the second prize of $50 went to
Miss Susie cambridge of Crozier,
N. M, an Indian school graduate. No
no-bah German, a seventeen-year miss
of Fort Defiance, N. M, and Annie
Klade of the same place, also were
prize winners. Over $4,000 worth Of
blankets were sold at this fair, and
the exhibit, selected from blankets
displayed at Shiprock. which was sent
to the Panama-Pacific exposition at
San Francisco. attracted much atten-
ton and gave a decided impetus to
the Navajo blanket vogue.
The Navajos, the largest tribe OF
Indians in the United States, are a
pastoral people, tending their numerous
