Old Bill Williams, Ex-
Preacher and Lone Trapper

10 the Grand Canyon.
Nearby Is Bin Williams mountain.
a 1900 foot peak. II also perpetu-
aics the fame OF one OF the most
picturesque figures IN old West his
tory.
"old Bill" Williams was an 80.
centric character who Is said 10
have been a clrcuit-rIding preacher
back In the states" before he took
to the plains and mountains OF the
West as a lone trapper. This f. the
pen picture Of him that one hlsto-
rlan has left US: "a tall. stopped
man OF Missouri feyer-and-ague
type; his thin. leathery face; his
nut ut.cracker Jaws: his punch chin
and nose: his small. sharp. twin
king eyes: his queruious voice
slovenly habits; elk-hlde suit. black
with campfire smoke and slick with
grease; his piebald. humpnosed In
dian pony; were familiar 10 trap
pers, traders and Indians from the
Three Forks TO the ella and from
the states TO California"
Not an impressive figure, 10 be
sure. but there wasn't a frontiers
man OF his period more cunning In
outwitting and eludlng hostile In
dlans or more redoubtable In fight
Ing them when cornered. nor a scout
and guide more familiar with re
mote parts OF the Rocky mountains
than he. So IL Is unbelley-
able that he should have made such
failure as guide for Fremont's ex-
pedltion around the head OF the San
Luis valley OF Colorado In 1S4S,
failure nearly fatal TO them all.
The only possible explanation for
"Old Bits" apparent unfamlliarity
with one OF his old stamping
grounds is that he was old. infirm
and half-blind from his many hard
ships Of nearly forty years on blaz-
ing deserts and in snow-hlled noun
talns. After the rescue OF the party,
the old scout, feeling keenly the dis
grace of his failure. fed once more
10 the solitudes OF the mountains.
And soon afterwards the Indians
'got" him-not In honest, open war
fare but by treachery. In the spring
Of 1s49 his body was found sitting
against a tree in a secret recess Of
his fayorite haunt, the Middle Park
country Of Colorado. There was a
wound in his breast from a bullet
fred by Indians he had considered
his friends, the Utes. Their excuse
was that he had betrayed their
camp to hostile Arapahoes and the
council decreed that he must die.
They had exchanged rifles with him
and as he sat in camp, unconscious
of danger, one of the Utes had shot
him.

BLACK SUIT USEFUL
IN ANY WARDROBE

No matter how large and impor-
tant your wardrobe may be, you'll
find that there is a constant use
for a black fur-trimmed suit.
The suit of black cloth or woolen
with plenty of black Persian lamb
or caracul is grand for those who.
have to be out all day, and 1t is
only a matter Of a change OF blouse
to make II fit for dinner wear.
One shop shows the same suit
with different blouse, simple shirt
waist OF white satin. dressy crepe
and then a tunic OF white and gold
lame, so that II can be worn for
lunch, afternoon tea and bridge and
then on TO dinner with perfect as
surance.

Another number on the new pro-
gram which is being played up most
dramatically, yet in ways conspicu-
ously novel and out-of-the-ordlnary
Is the scarf. The latest gesture OF
fashion Is the coat, or ensemble
which has a generous scarf OF self
material which Is made to do
tricks" according TO the whIm OF
its wearer. We are picturing just
such a model TO the right In the H.
lustration. This stunning coat is
one OF several Schiaparelli costumes
ordered In Paris by Duchess
d'Ayen. who recently visited Amer
lea. Note the wide tucks which
border each side OF this scarf. The.
fact that corresponding tucks trim
the sleeves is significant. in that
most important step in the new
scheme OF things is to styllze the
scarf with the self-same trimming
treatment as the rest Of the cos
tune, so that II becomes an integral
part OF the coat or dress, as the
case may be.
Frequently. scarfs OF material
matched to the coats they trim are
so fashioned as TO permit tapping
them over and buttoning In smart
gilet effect, which at front-view
gives the impression Of a two
piece garment, since the scarf drops
down over the skirt portion and is
belted In like a blouse.
There is no doubt but what the
furless coat will stand forth con-
splcuously this spring. II may be
collarless or not, but In either
event, some sort OF scarf Is iney-
liable.
