TIM BARRYMORE CLOTH COMPANY 1179 King St. West - Toronto Telephone Parkdale 3200 GIVE QUEEN WONDERFUL VEIL, Belgian Lace Experts Worked On It Four Years. The Queen of the Belgians has re ceived from the lace azul embroidery works of Belgian Flanders a marvel- ous veil. Surrounded by all the miss fortune and misery of war these Ioyal subjects have toiled in eecret for four long years to produce a unique piece 'which they offer in homage to their queen. Such. is their devotion to 'their sovereign. A French publieation describes the veil—designed by the most famous of I:elgeen:iu'tists and executed by the most exert workmen, perfect ir. every detail of mesh and motif. Twelve tliousaihd hours were required in warkniansbip, for tlhe veil counties not less than 12 million points. It displays the almost unknown art of light and shade, a difficult effect ant one of rare beauty, It solves for the fir,it time, perhaps, the question of perspective. The entire piece weighs but four azul one-half ounces. Irl the centre of the veil are the Belgian awns. and in the four corners of the central pone! the arms of the cities of Ypres, Nieuport, Poperinghe end Fumes. The four side panels re- present the industrie3 of weaving, fishing, hop pickilrg and dairying, Tornrny Was. Surprised.

This suite is in the baronial tower which forms one of the most noticeable landmarks in the ancient city, and comnlands a won derful panorama of the great river and • of the blue Laurentian Mountains The central room, named after Mont calm and used as the sitting room, has among other' curious furniture of two hundred years ago, a table and chair of rough design made by sol- diers who served under General Mont- ealin in the Siege of Quebec in 1759, and actually used by the General up to the date of his last fatal battle with the troops of General Wolfe. The writing desk in the same room was formerly an altar in the old Ursuline Chapel, while tile antique Grand- father's Clock used to figure out the hours and minutes in the Old Jesuit School. The Habitants, or peasant proprietors of Freh clh Canada, are famous for their skill in handicraft, particularly weaving. The floor -cover- ing used iu these rooms is a specimen of this ]habitant handicraft. craft. known as catalogne," a v'ashable material of fast dyes. The two adjoining rooms, one on each side, are used as bedrooms, and except for the private bathrooms which have been built in to meet with the requirements of modern habit, are faithful replicas of rooms in the se!g- norial Chateau of Old French Clanada.

BrIUjant Plumes Adorn the Natives of New Guinea, New Graainoa is the home of a large percentage of the world's birds of paradise. The supply of these beauti- ful birds is fast failing. Not only do the women of Europe and America demand feathers for their bonnets, bit the natives of New Guinea and su rounding islands make lavish use o the plumage as head dresses. Sozue precautions are now taken t prevent visitors to New Guinea from killing the "most beautiful birds in th world," but the natives are.left alone and they continue to deck thenhselve out in capes and headpieces more gar geous than any seen on our stag beauties or the wives of our million wires, In New Guinea it is the ishan who affects birds of paradise decorations, The women, like the female bird 01 paradise, are inconspicuous in dull colors. To obtain the much prized, feathers the New Guinea natives set out for the forest, knowing that the bird of Paradise seeks to conceal his rainbow hues in the dense foliage of the trees If they can find no haunt of the de- sired birds they start calling in excel- lent imitation of the shrill, ugly cry ot the bird of paradise to its mate. This ruse is usually successful, and a bird shows itself only to be snared or shot down -with arrows. In mating season the male bird dances before the female he desires as a mate to display his beautiful feathers, and at such a time so ab- sorbed are the birds in their own af- fairs that large numbers are -taken easily by thewily natives. DELICATE YOUNG GIRLS Need New Red Bloodto Give. Them Health and Strength. Does your daughter inherit a deli - tato organization frons, you? The anaemia of young girls May be inher- t ited, or it may be caused by bad air, r- unsuitable food, nasty and irregular f eating, insufficient out-of-door exer- ciae and not enough rest and sleep. It comes on gradually, beginning ill with languor, indisposition to mental Or bodily exertion, ireitahility and a feellug ot fatigue. Later comes pal- s pitation of the heart, headache dizzi- ness following a stooping position, a frequent headaches and breathless- ness. In a majority of cases consti- pation is present. There may be no great loss of flesh, but usually the complexion taken on a greenish -yel- low pallor. Cases of this kind. if neglected, be- come serious, but if taken in time there is no need to worry. The treat- ment is quite easy and simple. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which are free from any harmful or habit-forming drug, are just the tonic needed d to remedy this wretched state of health, Though it is not noticeable, improve went actually begins with the first dose. As the blood is made rich and red, the pallor- leaves the face, strength and activity gradually re- turn and if the treatment is continued until the last symptom disappears, the danger of a relapse is very slight. If any symptom of anaemia ap- pears, prudence suggests that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be given at once, and the sooner they are taken the more speedily will the trouble be overcome. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont, Muscles or Brains?

The following composition on geese was written in a western city by a schoolboy: Geese is a heavy -set bird with a head on one side and a tail on the other. His feet is set so far back on his running gear that they nearly miss his body. Some geese is ganders and has a curl in his tail. Ganders don't lay or set They just eat, loaf and go swimming.' If I had to be a geese I would rather be a gander. Geese do not give milk, but give eggs, but for me give ane liberty or give me death. Minard's Liniment Co., Limited.

Rings around the sun or noon are properly Balled halos, They may be defined as somewhat complicated ar- rangements of arcs and circles of light surrounding the sun or the moon accompanied by others tangent to 0 intersecting then, with spots of special brightness Balled parhelia ap- pearing at the points of tangency and intersection. Par•holia are most often observed about sunrise or sunset, fre- quently when the intersecting arcs ai•e themselves' invisible, except at the points of intersection. In order 01 frequency halos average about 22 de- grees, 46 degrees, or 90 degrees in radius, but on rare occasions other sizes have been observed. . Halos are observed only when there is present in the 'higher atmosphere a cloud sheet which"meteorologists term cirro-stratus; The floating par- ticles forming this cloud sheet are ice crystals, as the cloud is always above the plane of permanent freezing tem- peratures. These are the highest clouds known, the average height be- ing five to six miles. When the sun or the moon is observed through such a cloud sheet, refraction and reflec- tion of sane of the sun's rays by the ice crystals produce rings in which the colprs when visible are invariably arranged with the red on the inside of the ajcs., Halos are good weather signs. Many weather proverbs based upon the ob- servation of halos are founded upon sound scientific principles. Studies of the relation of halos to rainfall show that during the summer months. 56 to 60 per cent. of all halos are followed by rain within 36 hours. During the winter months 70 to 75 per cent, are o followed. eaA y! IA that one with the email horns is a wapti" "AY!"
