Wyoming branding fire became a
celebrity. She was dined-would
have been wined, even in this day
of prohibition, except for the fact
that she does not indulge. Her
mail swelled to huge proportions
and invitations commenced to ar
rive by the dozens. Requests and
demands of every kind were made
on her time until it was found nee
essary to appoint a secretary to
handle such details of her visit.
At the hotel Miss Wyoming" had
given Stones two horses over to a
porter to be "cnecked," and checked

she first saw women smoking III

Shocked by Cigarettes
However, on the roofs, if the
debutantes with their cigarettes
were startled by the cowgirl garb
Of the Western maid, she was far
more astonished at them.

her escort. IF they wanted to

would certainly rope and hog-tie

on Broadway "Miss Wyoming"
picked "Lassie" as her favorite.

Tessa Kosta, it's star, to whom she

slips were delivered to her and
"salted away" in the practical
pocket of the leather skirt. There
after when she desired one of the
four-footed "taxis' all she had to
do was to call bellboy, give him
the checks and order the horses
brought out. She would mount IN
the lobby and ride out of the door
as though it were the most ordinary
thing in the world.
This is lot easier than round
ing up your horse out on the
plains" she admitted. The big city
had one advantage, at any rate.
Fifth Avenue Stampede
But the girl who at home does
things in the ordinary routine that
would frighten a city maid to death
was just as dismayed in her turn
at many things the metropolitan
girl takes for granted. "Miss Wyo-
ming" would fight vicious bronco
on the plains or dash down q rocky
draw at breakneck speed after a
fleeing steer, but she doesn't like
the traffic of the city streets.

to whom she had message, and she
insisted that the financier try on

ridden all over the country from
which she comes. :You come on out

up a pony and some chaps and doll
you up so that the crowd will never
know you're dude" he was assured,
but she had to explain that out in
Wyoming any one from the East is
a "dude."
To Fred Stone she conhded what
to her is a great joke on the East.
Every one in Wyoming confdes in
Fred, she says, for out there he
is the hero and pal Of all the real
"hands."
A Joke on the East
DO you know" she told him,
"over here in the East they think
the Wyoming girls wear this kind
of clothes all of the time"
AS a matter of fact she is just a
little indignant at the repeated ques-
tioning on the subject and explains
that while she wears the typical
cowgirl outfit during her trip as
Governors messenger, it is really
used only as riding outfit out on
the range. It is practical and neces-
sary there, just as conventional

Of Governor Robert D. Carey of
Wyoming to deliver the states Off

Days roundup. which occurs at
Cheyenne during the last week in
July. For five hectic days she prob
ably was the most entertained girl
in Americas great city. Mayor
Hylan received her on the steps of

freedom of the metropolis.

for her by New York society folk,
and internationally famed multi

says she will be glad to get back to

one can dash unhindered for miles
across the range, where there are
no hurrying crowds and where she
is known not as the famous Miss
Wyoming but as plain Helen Bon
ham.
Fame" she says, ''is tiresome. l
don't like to be stared at
1t was but short while ago that
the State Of Wyoming, whose annual
Frontier Days roundup revives the
historic traditions of the Old West,
decided to send its official invitations
to notables it desires as guests by
courier instead of trusting them in
formally to the mails as heretofore.
Miss Bonham was chosen to carry
them and a state official started out
to ask her to undertake the mission.
New-York tribune., 1920-07-04
A Frontier Classic

The Frontier Days roundup. to
which she invited many notables the
country over, was started by Wyo-
ming cattlemen twenty-four years
ago. At first it was but local
affair, in which the cowboys Of the
neighboring ranges came to COM
pete. It's fame grew until In a year
or SO it was a classic, an interna-
tional affair, which is to the sports
of the cattle regions as the Olympic
games are to athletics. There the
bronco busting" championship of
the world is fought out between
wild men and wilder horses. The
steer roping championship is de-
cided, as is that in bulldogging, re-
lay racing, trick roping and riding
and the other games Of the West.

Didn't Like PHILADELPHIA


In Philadelphia she was received
in Independence Hall There the
representative of Americas last
frontier was taken inside the rail-
ings and allowed to touch the Liber-
ty Bell that started the frontier
travelling westward. Miss Wyo-
ming" doesn't like the Philadelphia
crowds at all, however. The men,
she says, stood on the curb and made
smart remarks as she passed.
They'd last about FIVE minutes in
Wyoming" she said Indignantly.
"In New York I only heard one
man get fresh and Morgan CLANCY
roped him and pulled him up to the
side of my horse to apologize. l wish
CLANCY had been in Philadelphia.
WeQ nave SHOWN some of those bows

A Remington Type

Miss Bonham was first brought
into prominence several months ago.
when she was selected as the ntoS
ideal bennington type on the plains
to represent her state on Its poster
announcing the historic roundup.
However, the profile which the IA
nous artist used to paint on his
Western characters has not detract-
ed from the charm of her features.
and those who have seen her call
her beautiful. She is a little more
than five feet in height, with a
weight of about 125 pounds, and
has the wiry muscles of a true out
door girl. Beneath hair reminiscent
OF cornsilk one sees steel-blue eyes
that have direct, frank gaze, and
when she smiles, which is often, she
displays perfect teeth.
Her beauty led to the gift of the
gayly beaded Indian vest which first
caught the eye of New York on her
appearance. It was a present from
Two-Lance, a Sioux chief, made un-
der interesting circumstances. Al
the roundup Of two years ago Two
Lance, then very old, was an at
tendant, with many members of his
tribe. The old Indian saw Miss
Bonham there, and, although un-
able to speak English, tried by
every other means TO gain her ia
vor. Finally he took off the won
derfully worked vest and indicated
by signs that it was a present. At
first, she says, she refused It, but
the old savage was insistent and
finally, through an interpreter, told
why he wanted her to have it.
Many moons before, his story
ran, he had been in a massacre on
the upper Powder River. In it was
a young white woman, from whom
he got the cloth, which he made
the basis Of the vest. In his great
age he imagined that Miss Bonham
resembled the white woman of the
massacre, and to satisfy his untu-
tored superstitions demanded that
she accept the garment she wore
here.

rations, with which she supplements
Governor Careys, show the maid

Out on the Range

At her home in Cheyenne he was
told that Helen was out on the plains
looking over some horses for pos
slble use in contesting the cowEirls'
relay championship of the world in
the roundup. SO out on the plains
the official went. He found the maid
far out on Grow Creek cooking coffee
and bacon for lunch over a tiny
branding fire

She was told that she would have
several days in which to prepare,
but when she did start it was in

Two weeks later she arrived in
New York. Relays of ponies had
been arranged for her so that on

hrst squirting her horse in through
the front door of the McAlpin Ho-

later riding into an elevator with
the request that she be taken to the
