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.

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.
