Show Rqiiawi Fond of Style. John O. Doyle, who hns charge of a reservation in the Indian Territory, says the Indian women are as great : sticklers for fashion as any dame of a I Parisian boulevard. This year noth-I noth-I ing but a pea-green umbrella or para-j para-j sol will suit the squaws, and the bucks ! will have nothing but blue umbrellas. ; Every Indian squaw nnd buck is so ! equipped, and the effect is quite bril-j bril-j liant. Last year nothing but red,, j white and blue umbrellas were in i requisition, and this year the Indian 1 traders got in a big supply of the variegated varie-gated sun protectors, but the Indians would not have them and green and blue had to be supplied as the fashionable fashion-able colors. It is the same way as to alicoes. One eeason one print prevails j md a whole tribe is dressed in it, the ; nen shirted and the women petti-1 petti-1 ' ated. and the next season the same i audy colors and figures are looked j pon with disgust. |
