Miss Fremont's dress is severely tailormade.
The material is blue serge and the
costume is not only well finished but it has the
business-like air that is the great essential of a
successful tailor-made gown.

Among the other articles of dress that have
been made by Indian girls with more than
creditable neatness are bed slippers crocheted
in warm, red wools by Nellie Carey, an
Apache girl, undergarments and a child's
dress of pink lawn trimmed with ruffles of
lace made by Sylvania Cooper, a Crow Indian,
18 years of age.

In fancy work and painted china there is a
large representation, and whatever pangs people
of romantic tendencies may experience
at the thought of the daughters of terror-inspiring
Apache chiefs painting daisies on
placques and learning the "draw stitch," they
will be forced to admit that so far as the specimens
of their handicraft are concerned they
show as distinct an aptitude for adopting the
frills of civilization as their white sisters.

Some Samples of Work Done.

Elizabeth Sickles, 20 years old and an
Oneida, contributed an embroidered sachet;
Susie Davenport, a Chippewa, a doily in
drawn work; Laura long, a Wyandotte, a
centerpiece embroidered with violets and loveknots;
Rosa Bourossa, a Chippewn, a large
knitted afghan. Rosa is, by the way, an exceptionally
bright girl. She has for some
time been one of the teachers in the school,
and has recently taken the civil service examination
in Washington.

A sofa cushion much embroidered and
frilled is exhibited by Sarah Archiquette, an
Apache. The only article which has about it
a touch of the untamed savage is contributed
by an Arapahoe girl. This is a pair of tiny
beaded moccasins evidently intended for a
baby's feet.

The photographs o the students which
accompany the exhibit make an interesting

study. They are for the most part intelligent
looking faces, occasionally something even
better.

The pupils at the school are said by A. J.
Standing, the Assistant Superintendent, who
is in charge of the exhibit, to be generally
bright and teachable. One of the most interesting
of the girls is Nellie Carey, who is the
daughter of the famous Chief Cochise. She
was at Carlisle five years, and finally, after
some experience in household work, married
a Comanche, also a former student at the
school, and went off to the Indian Territory.
