sHAMANs KEEP THEIR POWER
Alaskan Natives Still Believe Implicit
Iy in the Words and Actions
of medicine Men,"

Shamanism, or superstition and sor-
Gerry, always has played an important
part in the life of the Alaskan native.
So implicitly does the Alaskan believe
in the words and actions of the sha-
man that whole tribe go hungry rath-
err than incur his displeasure by eat
ing foods he has tabooed.
The shaman attained his position
and power by unusual methods. BY
fasting and prayer amid the solitudes
of the woods or mountains, where he
fed only on grasses and roots, he
prepared himself to become shaman.
By this method it was believed the
candidates body became sufficiently
purified to become the abiGing place
of spirits.
Usually the spirit, willing to abide
with the shaman, sent the nOvitiate a
land otter which the candidate killed,
the otters tongue to be preserved as
a talisman away from human view,
for should it be seen it was believed
the shaman would go insane or be
turned into the animal from which
the tongue was taken.
Thus the land otter was regarded
as too sacred to be killed by other
than shamans.

wv HEN the talk is of bridesmaids
w frocks there is no telling the
wide ranges it will travel, for here is
where the bride may give range to her
fancy, especially if she is to have a
bevy of maids. She may choose to
lead them back a few centuries in
choosing styles or she is more than
likely to pick out some period not so
remote and revive it's charm of quaint
dress or she may decide to be very
modern and frankly frivolous. But if
she hopes to please everybody let her
decide that her maids shall look de-
mure and beautiful. They can do this
in clothes with either an ancient or
a modern ilavor.
Taffeta, georgette and fine net, all
make lovely frocks for bridesmaids
and each of them amounts to an in
surance of success; yet they are as
different as can be. All are beautiful
in light colors, and net, in white, used
to veil color makes practical frock
that will give great deal of service
after it has played its part at we'd
ding. Georgette is astonishingly dur
able in spite of its fragile looks, and
everyone knows the virtues of taffeta.

* EORGETTE holds its own as the
NJ superlative in elegant fabrics for
afternoon gowns, and will until some
genius comes along who is able to ex-
eel it. 1t seems improbable that any

it so great fayorite with designers
that they use it for many things and
for all ages. But where the advan-

the bride who has decided to draw
upon 1920 to supply the style her
maids shall wear, is pictured here.
Tucks and frills, all at their pretty
best in net, are used for trimming.
An underskirt of net has two groups
of narrow tucks about the bottom and
over it q long and full tunic, wired
about the hips. A frill over the wired
line proclaims it's allegiance to the
old hoop skirt effect, which is the in
SEPARATION of this frock. Below the
frll two groups of narrow tucks give
an embroidered band of net the proper
setting. The short sleeves are very
frilly, with three narrow flounces as
a finish, headed with group of tucks.
The bodice is slightly low, giving
line across the bust and shoulders that
is in keeping with the hoped skirt.
A frill at the neck opening has tucks
and embroidered band below and at
each side plain net gathered In and
extending to the waist, gives an added
fullness. The sash of narrow satin
ribbon with hanging loops and long
ends set on at each side is q charming
accessory, the loops falling from clus-
tiers Of little chiffon roses.

Gordon plating and georgette were
made for each other, and at the sides
of the skirt there are three tiers of
plating, followed by gathered panel
at the back like that in front. The
bodice, with elbow sleeves is deco
rated to correspond with the front pam

satin-striped crepe is especially in

at the ends with tiny silk balls.
