fom Flagstaff, Arizona. He or

And they did-all spiffed up in
dark blue suits and attractive
afternoon dresses.
That's not what I mean,"
said Fenton. "How about your
paint, beaded moccasins and
feathered heargear?"
"Oh, Indians don't dress like
that any more" answered Chief
Hoskie Thorne, spokesman for
the group. Only in the movies"
So Fenton had to telephone
Hollywood and have a plane

ribbons in the old-fashioned
manner of sashes and bows. In
stead she has rounded up a half
dozen new ways to add ribbon

play the various color tones =.

blouses. Miss Scott suggests mar

used in place of buttons. Tie the
ribbon into neat bows, fasten
the bows on with tiny gold
safety pins and the result is an

the original quota could have
been filled by veterans Of the
War Between the States. More
than 100000 answered the
Presidents summons. The total
