STUDY CLUB MEETS
WITH MRS, HICKEY.

The Tuesday Literary club met
this week with Mrs. NJ. E. Hickey,
the first paper of the afternoon be-
ing "Amusements of South Amer
ica," by Mrs. Laurence Lee. Mrs,
Lee touched upon the passion of
the South American for horse rae
ing and gambling, his love of music
and the opera, the separation Of
the sexes and the lack of tompan-
ionship between girls and boys,
such as is enjoyed in America. In
discussing the South American
woman and her clothes, the speak
er ventured the opinion that her
love of Partisan modes, and her
aversion to English and American
tailored and sports clothes, seemed
to result in a style which suits her
far better than any Sother could.
Mrs. George valiant gave a re-
markably interesting talk on the
Where, How and Why of Buds"
Current Events were discussed by
the club. and a discussion of the
course of study for next year was
held, to be continued and decided
upon next week at Mrs. Bolts
where the meeting will be held.

TEN DONS HEAR
INTERESTING PAPER.

X. IL. Putney was most TUESDAY
night to the Ten Dons, who dined
at the Alvarado and later repaired
to the home of their host for the
usual interesting and instructive
evening. The paper of the occasion
was given by Reuben Perry, of the
Indian school. on Indian Life and
Customs of the Southwest" Among
the facts brought out in Mr.
Perry's article was that during the
last decade the population had in
creased ten per cent. The Sioux
have treaties with the United
States government requiring it to
contribute largely to their support
until they become civilized; one of
their chiefs advising his people a
number of years ago that they
would be fools to become civilized.
Mr.. Perry showed that the super
stitions and customs of the In
dians, although highly poetic and
endowing nature with a personality
for each of her forms. retards their
progress greatly. An instance of
this was shown in the case of the
old Hopi snake chief who in a
quarrel between two clans had
been forced from the village, but
was allowed to return through the
efforts of the agency. When the
snake dance to insure rain was held,
however, the dancers did not visit
the kiva of the old man, who came
in great distress to the agency be-
cause he would not be able to raise
corn to support his family He was

and give 1t the best of care, but
refused to do so, as he knew it
would be quite useless and the seed
would only be wasted. The medi-
cine men and the ceremonies for
the sick are highly picturesque,
and while the symbolism of draw
ing out sickness through various
acts is very artistically dramatic
and imaginative, it is very hard on
the patient to have to suffer addi-
tional discomfort as well as his
sickness. The following prayer is
one that is said by the Navajo
shaman or medicine man and re-
peated by the patient
an the house of Horizontal White,
He who rises with the morning
light,
He who moves with the morning
light;
oh Talking God!
have prepared your sacrifice,
have made a smoke for you.
His feet restore for him.
His limbs restore for him.
His body restored for him.
His mind restored for him.
His voice restored for him.
Today your spell take out for him.
This very day your spell is taken
out
Away from him you took it.
Far away from him you have done
it.
Far away from him it has been
taken.
Happily he will recover.
Happily he has recovered.
Happily his interior will become
cool.
Happily, feeling cold may he walk

1t is finished again in beauty.

of the day. Literary Productions

field completely, enumerating the
authors of verse and prose which
the Sunshine State has produced,

the first time since her residence
in albuquerque, and charged her
hearers with her Interpretation of
the songs of Alice Corbin Hender-
son, of Santa Fe. Mrs. George
Valliant's review of 1.-THE Path of
the Rainbow" was interesting and
well written. Mrs. Stroup read a
number of the poems of Mrs. Flor

peared in print. We are copying a

MODERN POETRY.
The latest number of Poetry in
cludes some verse which might be
termed impressionistic 1--WE do not
know that it isl, at any rate it is
of the order of Greenwich village
productions, an example of which
follows, together with an effusion
of home talent, which we think
compares fayorably with the work
of the other poets. The editor
was strongly moved to record the
profound emotions of an amoeba,
that beginner of all cellular life,
in a drop of water sparkling on n
drinking glass, but was restrained
by lack of space. The connoisseur
may identify the origin of the fol-
lowing:
/ am an oyster, living in the blue
depths of the sea.
/ am an oyster living next to a
piece of coral.
Next to a piece of coral
Between a sponge
And an abalone.
Oh, happy oyster!
To live next to a piece of coral
Between abalone and sponges.
