The influence of .the fur-trader and the mission schools has had a marked effect, upon the Ontario Indians. The women _ manage, to keep step with their lords in this inarch .towards civilised appearanoes. "I hav.e seenmoccasined feet peering from beneath the folds of velvet gowns of royal purple,' says a writer in the "Wide World Magazine." "On the bank, of the Rainy-River I camo upon a oomtnunit-y of wigwams and tepees. About an open fire .crouched three old hags, filthy and hideous. But in the door of a tepee not ten feet away, stood a young squaw— perhaps a daughter of one of the hags—doing her hair with a curling-iron."
