HERE AND TELLS OF HIS
LATEST EXPERIENCES

Walter r. Pratt, the oldest living
stage driver-and when he says this
he means honest-to- goodness stage
drivers of the Indian days-in the
United states, left for Columbia Falls
yesterday after having visited in the
city a couple of days on business and
pleasure. Mr.. Pratt is 6S years of
age according to his own figures. But
he looks and acts 20 years younger
than this. For a man who has lived
through the strenuous times of the
Montana pioneer who was thrice cap
tured b. the Indians during his
stage driving experiences, Mr.. Pratt
is wonderfully well preserved in body
and mind. He calls Camas his home,
but for the past three years he has
been over in Flathead county making
solid his interests in a group of As
gold mining claims and in Gao acres
of oil lands.

DRAPERIES THAT LAST
SIMPLEST FABRIC WILL BE BOON
TO HOUSEWIVES.
Makes Possible Decorative Effects
That Hitherto Have Been Out Of
the Queston-WilI Not Fade
and Stands Tubing.

The discovery of a sunfast fabric,
which can be utilized for draperies,
wall coverings, furniture and many
other articles, and which has just
been put on the market, is sure to
mark an epoch in the art of making
the home beautiful. 1t will also make
possible decorative effects in the
simplest home, as the fear will be
eliminated Of having draperies, which
in few weeks will only be fit to
throw away.
This fabric, although woven from
cotton, has beautiful silk-like lus-
ter, which never wears off, and the
folds simmer and change color in diff.
ferent lights, just as do the finest In
dia silks. 1t comes in varieties rang
ing from the lightest, daintiest goods,
such as are used for easement cur
tains to the heavier weaves, suitable
for upholstering furniture, wall cover
ings and window seatings, and it will
resist the destroying effects of the
sun.
Although sunshine is a synonym for
health, happiness and optimism, wom-
en- in the home and decorators have
always dreaded it. Outdoors we all
have loved the sun; indoors we have
feared it's destroying effects on fur
nishings, which, from the effects of
light gradually have lost their luster,
have faded and become streaky. Ex-
pedients of all kinds have been resort
ed to, and we have lived behind drawn
blinds when the sun shone, in rooms
which were, of course, stuffy and more
or less unhealthy.
With this new fabric the home no
longer need be rendered gloomy and
unsanitary by the exclusion of light
and air in the effort to preserve the
colors of draperies and furnishings.
This new material not only will not
fade, but it also will stand Tubing.
There is an unlimited choice of color.
ings, weavings and design, and it
should be a simple matter to obtain
harmonizing effects.
Take the matter of slip covers for
furniture. Nowhere have the changes
brought about by these fabrics been
more marked. Formerly the choice
of materials and colors was limited
to such goods as would stand the ef-
fects of light and laundry. They GER
tainly were not decorative and were
suitable mostly for bedroom use and
In summer homes. Slip covers can
now be made to match your door and
window draperies, and you can have
slip covers that are real upholstery,
in exquisite taste and style, and still
retain the sanitary, clearly features of
the washable slip cover.

Silk Petticoat Guards.

1t is an excellent scheme to REIN
force the new silk underskirt before
wearing it. In this day of narrow
skirts the knees will rub through silk
skirts at an alarming rate. This diff
Guilty is overcome, however, by TAX.
ing a piece of the old silk skirt and
making a patch of it on the wrong
side of the new skirt just where the
knees come. This acts as a knee
guard and makes the pettieoat wear
a much longer time without the con-
spicuous outside patch that would
otherwise have to be put upon the
new skirt in a short time if one
wished to be economical When sew.
ing the guard to the wrong side of
the new skirt, see that the stitches
are considerably larger on the wrong
side than on the right. This will
make the stitches that. show much
further apart and, consequently, not
so noticeable.

A hinged comb is another odd idea

the top bends down fat against the
