have a dandy outfit, but Mame Jones will not either overcharge us or
make Wonota's frock and lingerie too _outré_."

"It win be fine!" declared Helen.

"I believe it will," agreed the girl of the Red Mill.

"It will be nothing less than a knock-out," crowed Jennie, slangily.

The three friends had plenty of topics of conversation besides new
frocks for Ruth's Indian star. The work of making the scenes of the
prologue of "Brighteyes" went on apace, and although they all escaped
acting in any of the scenes, they watched most of them from the
sidelines.

Mr. Hooley had found a bright little girl (although she had no Indian
blood in her veins) to play the part of the sick child in the Indian
wigwam. These shots were taken in a big hay barn near the special car
standing at Clearwater, and with the aid of the electric plant that had
been set up here the "interiors" were very promising.

Several other "sets" were built in this make-shift studio, for all the
scenes were not out-of-door pictures. The prologue scenes, however,
aside from the interior of the chief's lodge, were made upon the open
plain on the Hubbell Ranch not more than ten miles from the Clearwater
station. Two weeks were occupied in this part of the work, for outside
scenes are not shot as rapidly as those in a well equipped studio. When
these were done the company moved much farther into the hills. They were
to make the remaining scenes of "Brighteyes" in the wilderness, far from
any human habitation more civilized than a timber camp.
