74 BULLETIN UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, 



Shoes, boots. — Both are very common, of American make. Thick 

 heavy ones are generally worn ; but sometimes they have lighter ones 

 for Sunday. The men, except the old ones, wear them constantly; the 

 women but little in the summer, except on Sundays, and the children 

 are barefoot a great portion of the time. Even the Indian school-chil- 

 dren are barefoot in the summer, but not in the winter. 



StocTcings. — Socks and stockings are very common, both of native and 

 American manufacture. 



Leggings. — Yery seldom worn. 



H. — Parts of dress. 



Collars. — They are not usually worn, but sometimes the men wear 

 American paper ones, and the women American paper and linen ones. 



Pockets and reticules. — They have no reticules. Pockets are common 

 in coats, vests, pants, overshirts, and gowns. 



Needle- work and quill-work. — I have seen no quill-work. They do 

 plain sewing very well, and a large amount of it, making their dresses 

 and underclothes, and sometimes men's white shirts. 



Bead-work. — There is not very much bead- work among them. Their 

 gowns and shot-pouches are sometimes trimmed with them. 



Fastenings. — A large brass pin. of native manufacture, about five 

 inches long, is used for fastening the shawl together; and when this is 

 lacking, one made of hard wood and in similar shape is used. American 

 buttons, pins, a few buckles, hooks and eyes, are used. 



Belts. — The men and women both wear belts, as American men and 

 women do. 



Others not mentioned. — Of late years, suspenders are slowly taking the 

 place of belts among the men. 



I. — Receptacles for dress. 



Nets, knapsacks, and skin-bags. — Very few, if any. 



Trunks, chests, &g. — Trunks are very common for this purpose. See 



sec. 3, A, " Boxes." In their better houses, some of their clothes are 



often hung up on the walls. There are also a few American valises 



among them. 



§ ^.-PERSONAL ADORNMENT. 



A. — Skin ornamentation. 



Painting, patterns, and apparatus. — During their games, festivals, and 

 at special times, a few of the men paint their faces, but it is more com- 

 mon among the women, not only on such days, but on other days. 

 They use American red paint chiefly, but sometimes the juice of ber- 

 ries; formerly they obtained a red paint in the mountains. The women 

 paint to prevent their being tanned by the sun; and also, if they have 

 done anything which will make them blush when in company, they
