Show Indian Decorative Art. When the Sioux go on the warpath in anything like reasonable weather they exercise great economy in dress. They paint their ponies with red and black paint in crosses. They also wear their hair loose and flowing, nnd put a liberal allowance of r-?d and black paint on their faces. Decorative art prevails largely in their make up. Dugs, reptiles rep-tiles and animals, as nearly a the rudo-ly rudo-ly artisvie mind of iho Uioux can con- i trive, aro painted on iheir foreheads aud chins, while u cross of red and black paint adorns each cheek.
