part and gathered into two locks over the ears. Each lock is wound 

 over the first finger and the end drawn through as the finger is with- 

 drawn (fig. 23). The end of the lock is looped up and caught in the 

 winding (fig. 24), There is thus found a loose knot which is wound 

 over and over with hair cord, the result being a spindle swelling at

the middle of the lock (fig. 25). In connection with care of the hair 

 Ji device of thin slips of hardwood is used for crushing lice (fig. 26). 

 Navaho silver bracelets are sometimes worn and rarely earrings. 

 Necklaces like those of the men are worn. Formerly necklaces of 



juniper berries and other wild fruits and 

 seeds were worn by women (pi. 27, fig. 3). 

 Hopi women customarily go barefoot, but 

 it is probable that the cmnbrous moccasin 

 with wrap-leggins was formerly more in 

 use than at present, when deerskin is scarce 

 and expensive, beyond the means of the 

 poor and frugal Hopi. The woman's moc- 

 casin (fig. 27«, 6, c, d, e) is small, stylish, 

 and has the sole turned higher around the 

 sides of the foot than the man's moc- 

 casin. To the edge of the upturned 

 sole is sewed a whole white tanned deer- 

 skin, which is wrapped in folds around 

 the calf of the leg and ties at the knee, 

 giving the limbs a most elephantine appearance. Moccasins of 

 this style are required in the trousseau of a bride, and it is probable 

 that they will be made to last her lifetime, since she, like her sisters, 

 will prefer to go barefoot. Baby's moccasins are made of fur (pi. 29, 

 iig. 2) and small children wear a replica of their elder's moccasin (pL 

 29, fig. 1, boy's moccasins; fig. 3, small girl's moccasin leggins).
