COSTUMES

The costumes for the young settlers have already been indicated in the
episode itself. Francois, the young French-Canadian, wears a cotton
khaki suit, cut on Indian lines. That is, the breeches of the suit are
fringed, and he wears moccasins. He wears a tan shirt, open at the
neck, and a scarlet sash belt.

The costumes for the Indians are of cotton khaki, cut on simple Indian
lines. (See description of Indian costumes of "Princess Pocahontas.")
Gay painting at neck. Beads. Shells. Wampum. The Indian maidens and
some of the braves have blankets. They should be striped in gay
colors--red and green, orange and blue--the stripes very wide. A few
blankets of solid color. Long pipes for the Indians to smoke.
Headdresses of brown and gray feathers. Dark Cloud wears a black
feather head-dress. Red Plume wears a headdress of brilliant scarlet
feathers.


LIBERTY DANCE

This dance is for a pageant given on a very large scale. It is formed
of commingled groups of the young people of all nations, and is
symbolic of the Old World coming to the New. The peasant costumes of
Germany, Russia, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, France and Sweden should be
worn, and the dances should be the folk dances of the various nations,
with their appropriate music.
