light and dark stripes. The pattern is shown in the diagram, Fig. 62. 
The sleeves are of the same pattern as those of No. 56751 [184]. The 
edge of the hood is bound with 
deerskin, hair outwards. Trim- 
ming: a strip of edging (Fig. 63) 
in which the light stripes are 
clipped white mountain sheep- 
skin, the dark pipings brown, 
almost hairless, fawnskin, and the 
tags red worsted, is inserted in 
the seam between 7 on each side 
and 6 and 2, and a similar strip 
between the inner edge of 3, 2, 7, 
9,and1. <A broader strip of simi- 
lar insertion, fringed below with 
marten fur, with the flesh side out 
and colored red, runs along the short seam //ff. The seam between 9 
and 7 has a narrow piping of thin brown deerskin, tagged with red 
worsted. A strip of edging, without tags and fringed with marten fur 
(Fig. 64), is inserted in the seam gggg. The border of the skirt is 1 inch 
wide (Fig. 64). The dark stripe is brown deerskin, 
the white, mountain sheep, and the fur, marten, with 
the red flesh side out. The fringes are double strips 
of white deerskin sewed to the inside of the last seam, 
about 3 inches apart. The shoulder straps are of 
edging like that at g, but have the fur sewed on so 
as to show the red flesh side. The hood has a fringe 
of wolfskin sewed to the outside of the binding. This 
frock measures 45 inches in the back, 52 in the front, 19 across the 
shoulders, and 17 at the waist. The skirts are 21 inches wide, the 
front 18, and the back 20 inches long. The pieces 7, 8, and 9 of the 
hood are white. This is an unusually handsome garment.

Deerskin garments rarely have the ornamental piecing seen in this 
frock. Each one of the numbered parts of the pattern is generally in 
one piece. The pieces 8 and 9 are almost universally white, and 7 is 
often so. About the same variety in material and trimming is to be 
found as in the men’s frocks, though deer and mountain sheep skins 
were the only materials seen used, and the women’s frocks are less often 
seen without the fringe round the hood. Plain deerskin frocks are 
often bordered round the skirts with a frmge cut from deerskin. The
