(CP)--A myste. rious woman has left this Rocky Mountain resort town a legacy) of powerful, unusual oil paint- ings. Mrs. N. Drummond - Davis, who came to Banff at the close} of the First World War, painted} big game animals and scenes) of the old west. | The woman, barely five fect! tall, used the signature '"N.| Drummond" on her canvases of| grizzly bear, buffalo, moose, mountain goat, mountain sheep and elk. : She managed to capture much| of the inherent power and wild- ness of the beasts. Her most powerful painting, The Prairie Fire, shows a herd of buffalo stampeding in wild-eyed terror. Pronged antelope and rabbits, their big, 'soft eyes wide with) ' a bound through the dry grasse Personil history of the artist is sketchy. The little place she called) }ome was a rough cabin usually) un by cats. Some stories} there were as many as 15) s ata time. But in later} years her "family" was a sad-| dle horse and three Airedale! dogs. CHARGED LITTLE Old timers say she kept her-| self poor by asking unnecessar-) ily low prices for her work. It) was a policy difficult to under-| stand because people wanted! her big, colorful paintings and/| usually there was a ready mar-| ket for them, None knew why she came to} Banff in the first place. Her husband, an Englishman) described as a person with a) flare for doing nothing, arrived| in the mountain resort shortly) after she settled in Banff but soon returned to England. Few] people met him and he left no! particular impression of himself| other Ae being "'the artist's sband.' She was quite independent, | did all her own chores, chopped| her own wood, patched the ca- bin roof when it leaked and, as one old timer remarked, "didn't) seem to have too much use at men.' She was a familiar sight in the| town of Banff--a small woman| on a big horse followed by the three Airedales and a mount-| ing box hung from the saddle by| a rope. She needed the box to! get on and off the big horse. | Mrs. Drummond-Davis retired] to Victoria in 1927 and died| there in 1950. | What brought her back to at- tention was the purchase of her paintings by the Glenbow; Foundation of Calgary, a histor-| ical research organization de-| voted to the collection and pres-/ ervation of western Canadiana. | the. ultimate in design sand quality Swedish Stainless by ORO GENS | at fine stores throughout the | | world.

The farmer wont be sold out of his denim dungarees or overalls, The carpenter de- mands his denims, as does the house painter. The horseman tion on the subject of denim 1s that men who spend much of their time on a horse buy levis one size too large and two sizes are washed, the wearer puts them on damp without ironing. This way, the fabric conforms to th inividual rider's muscles. The saying is: fit a horseman like denim can." other areas, including the school grounds. This fabric has cer- tainly had its ups and downs in that department. In the form of blue jeans, it has been banned from some high schools, sneered at, on some campuses and givén a back seat by some fashion and etiquette authorities.
