Hoopa, Shawnee, Wahoe and Pah
ute maidens fresh from their ances
tral plains in Nevada have just been
brought to Berkeley by Helen Shea
han of the Carson Indian school and
placed in fashionable families to wait
on tables, cook and do general ser
vant work. When their summer "va
cation" is over they will be returned
to the school and when they graduate
many will return "to Berkeley to take
permanent positions.
"The Indian girls are faithful, clean
and quick to learn," said Miss Shea
han. "They will make ideal house
maids and may solve the problem of
domestic help."
The girls are not only adopting the
dress of the "pale-face" but they have
taken up the latest dances, and spend
their recreation hours in doing the
tango, hesitation waltz and some
times also ordinary ragging. They
have also assumed American cogno
mens in preference to their own pic
turesque names.

Plaids in squares of uneven size is
one of fashions latest fancies. A waist
may be made of plaids with the black
square larger than the white and then
the skirt will reverse the arrangement
and have the white square of larger
propoitions.
