He could see the land of his birth once more before returning forever to the Happy Hunt- ing grounds. He looked wonderingly at the men and women hurrying by. He was struck with amazement. 'llhe women were on the war-path! 'I'heir faces were covered with a white substance, while cheeks and lips llared a bright crimson. In his day men painted their bodies before going to war. A group of girls stopped near him, and he noticed that they were all painted. One of the girls took out a fluffy thing from a bag and dusted her face with it, leaving a white, powdery trail in its wake. She then 'took a small red tube and pressed it against her lips. Lo and behold! Her lips grew rosy red. Then she put her material back into the bag, which had a smooth, glittering surface on the inside of the cover. Susquewan was thoroughly astonished at the bravery of this maiden who put on her war paint in public. As he walked along he saw women everywhere who had on paint, and he expected them to yell suddenly and grab their tomahawks. So he wandered all day among painted women and grew tired of seeing nothing else than masked faces. Poor Indian! He was ignorant of the fact that the women were trying to be beautiful. Suddenly he saw a man with rouge on his cheeks coming hurriedly toward him. He grasped his tomahawk and prepared for bat- tle. But the young man passed quietly on and went to join a powdered girl waiting for him. Suscluewan sighed, turned away, and went back to the Great Spirit-went back to the Happy Hunting Grounds where men, and men only, use paint for decoration when they are going on the war-path.
