In the millinery department of the
| MissOula Mercantile store bcpow-
| dered and befeathered lady was trying
on hats.
One by one she surveyed them
through her lorgnette.
Gage couldn't please her: neither
could Fisk. Lowengart or Madame
Strauss. She shifted at them all
even the chic creations from gay
Paree.
At the end Of two hours she bought
q hat that might d.; ~ goo,.
"Send It." she snorted, then whiried
away in her limousine.
In the clothing department of the
| same store a blankcted squaw was
trying on bandanna handkerchiefs.
She looked at two. wrapped one Of
them about her head and gave the
clerk a dime.
Smilingly she si,ufled out of the
store-happy In her new adornment.

She was the daughter of a Flathead
! chief. Her age-somewhere around
the century mark. She had sat for
hours on Higgins avenue and watched
the pedestrians pass without SO much
as a hat Of an cyclash.
Once during the afternoon dog
fight attracted large crowd quite
| close to her. but she didn't turn her
| head.
Again two automobiles nearly coll
| lided on the street in front of her
and two men engaged In a drunken
brawl at the same time. Yet she
| stared expressionless.
Cne man stumbled over her while
in rapid progress down the street. She
barely moved and only grunted slight
".
Towards evening an auto slid up to
the curb and stopped. A man and
woman got out, leaving a little baby
| sleeping in a hanging cradle In the
rear Of the car.
There. was. a sudden animation to
the bright red shawl and moccasined
feet. She got up quickly and numbered
over to the machine and pcered curl
ously into tho cradle then q broad
emile spread across that mobile face.
UGH" she grunted, some papoose.'
Then she waddled away.
