toe, however. It mi with great serf
ousneea that Medicine Owl offered Mrs.
Castle a pair of elaborately beaded
moccasins, telling her they were mueb;
better for dancing purpose than hed
"long heel."
The dancers of two eras met in 8t
Paul. The Indiana had arrived front
Glacier National park, Montana, eu
route to the Shrinera' convention a(J
Atlanta.
Indian Suggests Meeting. "
Fish Wolf Kobe learned that the Cas
ties were is the city, and he suggested,
the meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Castle;
agreed, and, following their matined
performance, they hastened to the ho
tel where the Indiana had been spend'
ing ranch of the afternoon enjoying
the thrills of numerous rides in the
elevators.
The program of dances waB lengthy.
After each number Fish Wolf Kobe
and Medicine Owl insisted on exchang
ing compliments with Mrs. Castle
through the interpreter, Eagle Calf.
The absence of an orchestra almost
prevented the Castles from dancing, rjor
Mrs. Castle feared to take the stage
without music. Then Eagle Calf sug
gested the tomtoms, and the difficulty;
was bridged. Mr. and Mrs. Castle in
vited them to be the honored guests at
the ball at Castle Ilouse and the ac
ceptance was as formal as the signing
of a tribal treaty.

THE grass dance of the aborigine
and tho moxixe in its newest de
velopments were given expres
sion in St. Paul recently at the same
time and on the same floor, and it was
to the oldest savage music of which
America has record that tho exponents
of civilization's most modern terpsi
ehorean achievements kept time.
Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle danced
the one step, while stolid red. skinned
Eagle Calf, Medicine Owl, Fish Wolf
Robe and Frank White Quiver whirled
and shook their silver bells while the
Castlos watehed and applauded. Med
icine Owl and Eagle Calf beat their
tomtoms for both old and new dances.
When the Indians danced their musi
cians sang in weird tones.
They Forget the Chant.
When tho Castles' turn came the
hast waa forgotten, while the Indian
studied intently the whirlwind mazo of
figures that make up tho Castle walk
and its companion dances.
The Castles were loud in their praise
of the dances of the aborigines. If the
Indians were less prodigal as to words
it was not because they were lacking
in appreciation.
