The Dlack Masques and Silver Ser
pents have taken a decided stand
against Judging a woman for her phy
sical charms. This is a step In the
direction for which real women have
hoped, for many days. In the eyes ot
the world, the successful woman,
whether in the home, business, school
room or social work, is judged. by her
ability her physical beauty is forgot
ten. Too -often is a girl judged by the
color of eyes or hair, the cut of her
suit or the number of cyphers on her
father's bankbook. This is a false
standard of real womanhood and the
representative girls' organizations of
the Junior and senior classes are lo
be recommended that they did not de
.clde to act as judges on such a matter.
manv of the dialects. He has trans
lated many of the chants into Eng
lish, and the aborigine Indian philos
ophy Is evident in every line.
One of the latest additions to the
collections is a boy's sled, such as the
boys of the Dakota tribes used. Much
different is this sled from the ones
used by our American boys. It is

at one end by bars of wood, bound
with rawhide and sinew. Another
interesting part of the collection is
the model of the mound dwellings,
made by Mr. Gilmore. The collection
of plants cultivated by the Indians Is
extensive and tolls much concerning
the life of the Indian.

Q: Why do people throw old shoes
after a newly-married pair?
A: In olden times, it was the cus
torn for a father to use his slipper as
a means of corporal punishment on
his daughters, and when the girls
were married, the father gave an
old shoe to the bridegroom as a sym
bol of power over. The throwing of
old shoes after a bridal pair is mere
ly a traditional custom resulting from
the former times.
