… and is awarded by the Council. (See p. 10, etc.) An oval of paper is glued on near the high end. This bears a symbol of the feat it commemorates. If it was Grand Coup or High Honor, the feather has a tuft of red horsehair lashed on the top.
WAR-BONNET
As each feather is won it is fastened in the headband and thus forms part of the war-bonnet.
The feathers are held in place on the band by a lace through the bottom loop to hold them to the body of the cap, and another lace around them higher up. When the circle is complete the upper lace is not needed; instead is a stout thread through the middle of each midrib, stringing them together and holding them the right distance apart.
The war-bonnet is the most important of all decorations. It is a complete record of the owner’s exploits, as well as a splendid ornament. The making of it is fully described in The Ladies’ Home Journal for July, 1902, and in “Two Little Savages.”
