In ginghams the big demand has
been for checks, most of them small,
showing color end white. They
have been made up with white or
gandie in so many different ways that
we hardly think of one without the
other. A green and white checked
gingham, with bands of white or
candle, shown at the left of the two
wash dresses pictured, is very neatly
made and is as pretty as can be. A
very open green and white braid over
lays the narrow inserted bands of or.

into four panels. The collar and cuffs

at the top of the overskirt, are cut

pearl buckles and a tie of narrow

When you are stricken with the per-

all sorts of compensation, for there
are beautiful things to be had In that

The Color Problem.

black or color or whether to leave 1t

THE LOGIC OF TWO STRIKE, a
BRULE CHIEF
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

| 4 BOUT thirty years ago COM
mission was sent from Washing
ton to arrange for the cession of Sioux
lands on the Rosebud reservation in
South Dakota. One night a Brule
chief named Two Strike agreed to sign
the treaty but the next morning when
1t came time for him to make his mark
on the treaty rolls, he held back.
II will not sign" he announced.
One of the commissioners was great
ly concerned at this refusal for Two
Strike controlled more than 800 war
riors and his signature was very Inn
portant.
"Why potT asked the commission
er. ''You promised last night to sign
this morning"
81 have thought 1t over and will
not sign" replied Two Strike, firmly.
II notice that every time touch that
thing pointing to the pen-'T lose
somethlng~ His logic was unmistak-
able ana the name Of Nom-pa-a-pa
or 1.-THE Man Who Knocks OFF Two"
did not appear on that treaty.
Two Strike was a deed name" re-
ceived In a sharp skirmish with the
Utes in Colorado Finally the Utes
were defeated. Two of them tried to
escape on one horse. Two Strike
urged his war pony alongside the
horse bearing the double burden,
raised his war club and knocked both
enemies off with one blow.
Although Nom-pa-a-pa fought in
some of the most important battles
of the Sioux wars Of 1S66-67 and 1876
II, he did not become well-known
among the whites as a leading chief
until the Ghost Dance troubles Of 1890
81 when he cast his lot with the hos
tile element of the Sioux. On the day
of the Wounded Knee fight he led the
attack on the troops at Pine Ridge
Agency, an attack that was repulsed.
The next day he attacked a wagon
train near the st. Francis mission and
the Seventh Cavalry was sent out to
beat off Two Strikes warriors. The
Brule chief drew the soldiers into a
trap. Only the timely arrival of the
Ninth prevented the mission Fight"
from being a repetition of the disaster
Of Little Big Horn in 1875.
After the uprising had ended Two
Strike became one of the leading coun-
eilors for the Brules in Washington.
He proved himself to be as willy and
shrewd a diplomat as he had been a
formidable warrior.
