hand, highly trained judgment Will
give to women the chance to express
their individuality and look little
unlike their neighbors.
1t may be said, however. that the
coat that fastens in a line down the
front, the buttons running straight
thru the high, rolling collar. will be
the most noticeable change in street
costumery that will take place In
October.
The narrow skirt has already been
accepted here and there, and there
are hundreds of women who have
never given it up, so its widespread
acceptance will not cause quite the
same ripple Of interest that will be
given by this family album coat with
its upward tilt at the back, its point
in 'front.' its long, slim wa.stline under
the arms, and it's row Of colored but
tons on which one will be tempted to
say the old nursery rhyme, "Richman,

The Elimination of Waste.
In serious times. there is always a
good reason behind a change in fash
Ions. The expert will argue that there
Is q reason in all times. Commerce
continually supplies a necessity for
change, variation and originality.
| The complete circle must be kept
in perfect order in the world of wom-
ems apparel. Those Of us who do
not make clothes must buy clothes in
order that those who make clothes
may live, and IL they're not able to
live in security, other people must
support them. AS long as the circle
is happily completed, each person Is
secure and content. Therefore, 1t Is
quite right that commerce has its rea-
son at all times for the fluctuations In
women's styles. In war times, such
as today, France has found that she
must eliminate the use Of superfluous
material, and America is beginning to
awaken to the fact that she too must
be economical with fabric as with
food.
1t may take an expert observer to
find out just where the elimination
occurs. The outward appearance of
clothes for this autumn is much the
same as In other years. but those who
subtly changed lines, trimmings and
adjustments of seams, so that ma
terial Is saved all along the line Of
dressmaking.
There are to be lace flounces, for
instance, but there are not to be
flounces Of cloth. Bodices are to be
slim, street coats are to be short,
skirts are to be both narrow and
short for the street and narrow and
long for the evening
Well, 1t is wise to leave the situa-
ton to the experts. They are the only
people who can arrange the shortage
of fabric with sufficient skill to cover
up the deficiency. We must take what
they give US, abiding by their decision.
The American dressmaker will have
an admirable chance to learn how to
achieve good result with few in
gradients. There are cooks who can
do this; there must now be seam
stresses who can do 1t. In every chan
mel Of American life this one task
must be achieved by the war--the
ability to do much with little. No
lesson could be more vitality import
ant to the American nation than this

does, and that now, suddenly. that
coat and skirt should be launched into
costumery?
One of these jackets which will un-
doubtedly prove a success because 1t
has been issued by a dominant house
has little hustle all its own. 1t be-
longs to a skirt that is quite narrow,
and it has a bit of AN upward pull
from knees to waistline at the back
a pull so slight that it is not always
noticeable.
The jacket fits the figure, curves
in to the waistline at the back and
then flares out into a series Of folds
that give the hustle effect. 1t Is but
toned in straight line down the
front. There is band of velvet above
the hem Of the coat. The buttons are
covered with the wine-colored velour
that makes the suit. The collar is
very high, soft in its folds. rolls over
backward to the neckline and Is
trimmed with a band of velvet.
Jackets Fasten From Chin to Chin.
Revers are abandoned by the tai
lors and dressmakers. Where one
coat will have them, sixteen others
will be fastened in straight line
from the chin to the lower edge. All
the collars are highs but soft and en-
veloping the neck and chin in the
manner that was considered correct
In the eighteenth century.
Mind you. this style is not the only
powerful note in fashions that Is
brought out for Jackets. 1t Is one Of
several other details, and a woman
will have the chance to accept what
she wishes.
This latter situation will be the
hope and the downfall Of many wom-
en-. Left to themselves to choose
among a heterogeneous mass Of ma
terial, the best minds will grow con-
fused and go wrong. On the other

A Prompt Decision.

Mrs. VIII Irwin said at a Washing
ton square tea:
"The more immodest fashions would
disappear If men would resolutely op-
pose them.
II know n women whose dress
maker sent home the other day skirt
that was really too short altogether.
The woman put 1t on. 1t was becom-
ing enough, dear knows, but it made
her feel ashamed. She entered the
library, and her husband looked up
from his work with a dark frown.
"I wonder, she said, with an en-
barrassed laugh, II these ultra short
skirts will ever 20 out?"
They'll never go out with me- he
answered in decided tones"

This is the question asked by
dressmakers who have seen
a few new costumes-The
short jackets that will come
in September look as tho
they have been stolen from
the family album-They are
cut to a point in front and
are short in back - The
smart jacket of autumn will
be buttoned from chin to
hem-The fiat has gone
forth that skirts will be just
wide enough for stepping.

Cheyennes - being encountered on
the North Platte. White Antelope
was their chief and his son, Swift
Runner, took quite fancy to young
Hamilton, as did Roman Nose, an
other young Sioux. He was piloted
through the village by these lads and
invited to go hunting with them the
following day, when the braves ex
pected to round up herd of buffalo,
believed to be grazing about ten
miles away.
Swift Runner and Roman Nose had
the fastest horses in the party and
brought down the first COWS, but
Uncle Billy got the third buffalo kill
ed, his shot breaking the animals
back. He killed four on the hunt
and he was shown how to skin and
dress them by Roman Nose and Swift
Runner.
The daring riding and the bravery
of the former proved especially no
ticeable to the young city lad and as
result he was not surprised years
later to learn that Roman Nose had
become one of the mightiest Chey
enne chiefs and great leader in
their fights with the whites, after
they became unfriendly. He was
killed by General Forsyth on the Re-
publican river in 1866. When the
trappers left the village the three
boys had become such good friends
that Swift Runner gave "Uncle
Billy" the horse the latter had rid
den during the hunt.
Friendly With yellow Bear
Uncle Billy seemed to have a pen

ter on the upper Platte they came
upon one hundred lodges of Arapa-
hoes, under Chief Yellow Bear, faith
er of Yellow Bear, who was killed on
Sand Creek by Colonel Chivington,
and the two boys became great
friends, while the trading was going
on.
Here he also met the first Crow
Indians he ever saw. Strange as it
may seem they were a war party and
were not friendly, while the Indians
against whom the Grows afterwards
helped the government fight were
very friendly and traded with the
trappers. However, by giving them
some tobacco the redmen were in
duced to move on without trouble.
The party then started for the Big
Horn and Wind River mountains,
hoping to meet with the Shoshones
under Chief Washakie, a friend of
Williams and afterwards a great
friend of Hamilton. This tribe claim
ed all of that country south of the
Yellowstone from where Billings is
located through the Big Horn basin
and beyond the Thermopolis Hot
Springs in Wyoming.
His First Indian Fight
The party saw no Indians until the
upper valley of the Big Horn or Wind
river was reached, when Evans and
Russell, two of the trappers, discov-
cred a moccasin. AS the country
was known to be infested with war

COL. WHITE STILL BOOSTING.

Col. A. A. White of St. Paul, who
two years ago purchased from the
government Wild Hors, island and a
large number of villa sites on Flat
head lake, was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there is no more
beautiful country lying out of doors
than that found along the shores of
Montana's greatest lake and he ias
backed this sentiment by investing a
large sum of money there in real es-
tate. With the opening Of the new
branch of the Northern Pacific rum
ming from Dixon to Poison, it is prob
able that more citizens Of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming section of Montana. 1t is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation of summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will ap-
preciate this fact. The colonel al
mt st single-handed is doing great
deal to advertise the Flathead coun-
try in the east and he is entitled to
the hearty support Of the people of
this commonwealth in these efforts.

ground. Riding to the top of hill
we saw about 80 more running to-
ward the brush in the river.
Fight to Please Lady Loves
at was wild scene that followed
our charge. Shots and arrows flew in
every direction. The Shoshones gave
yell after yell, charging madly and
recklessly. The chief warned them
to be careful, but they paid no heed,
for in case like this it was a great
feat to take the first scalp. and the
successful warrior was greatly prais-
ed in the Village. Ills lady love

lover as the bravest of the brave, first

with other members of the Black
feet party, three of our men were
slightly wounded, but all of the In
dans were killed and the country was
made free of hostile redmen for the
time being"
After having penetrated the Wild
erness into the Crow country and the
favorite hunting grounds of the In
dians, south of the Yellowstone, the
party turned southward again and
went to Fort Bridger, where it's furs
were disposed of for thousands of
dollars and the winter was spent.

Lifts An Indian Scalp
When daylight came the Indians,
who were Of the Blackfeet tribe, had
disappeared, leaving the three dead
bodies. These were scalped and
then the party set out in pursuit of
the others. A trail of blood, show
ing that some of the Indians had been
wounded, gave the pursuers a lead
and they came upon the Indians
about five miles away near a spring.
The trappers divided forces, three
men staying behind the Indians on
the brow of hill, with boulder
breastWorks for protection, and the
others circling them and getting into
grove in their pathway. There were

Montana, every precaution was taken
to guard against a surprise attack.
Nighttime, usually in the early
morning hours, was the favorite pc
riod for an attack by the Indians.
They wanted to fight in the dark as
much as possible, being able to hide
themselves by lying down. AS a re-
suit in the daytime they usually took
to the timber when an engagement
was in sight. These traits were shown
in the fight which took place, the
following morning, in which "Uncle
Billy" landed his first Indian scalp.
The party was awakened about 4
a. m. by two shots, followed by Sc
ries of wild Indian yells that were
fierce enough to send terror into the
hearts of any but the bravest from
