A Skirt from a Coat.
Cut -away coats for ladies were a
feature of 1916's fashion season. The
sport skirt, serviceable and practical,
with its companion, the knitted or filet
sweater, is one of the boons of 1920.
The busy woman of village or rural
community feels the need of such a

skirt—to be worn OIL the weekly trip
to town, the hike or to the Women's
Institute meeting.

trasting
ontrusting color—perhaps a plaid. Such
a coat may be converted into just the
skirt of the season, one with con-
venient pockets, buttons down the
back, jaunty belt and ,individuality of
design.
First, wash the coat and remove
any stains. Remove collar, sleeves
and pockets; old safety razor blades
are excellent for ripping. Then press
the material on the side which is to
be the wrong side when the skirt is
made. If the inside of the coat is
plaid, consider advisability of . using
plaid for the skirt. Measure up from
the bottom of the coat the required
length of the skirt, not allowing for
hem. Cut on that line parallel to the
hem, making a straight skirt. Nest,
cut down the coat pockets to a con-
venient size.
The pocket with rounded front is
pretty and matches the rounded bot-
tomback of skirt. Use the collar to
make the belt. If the over -lapping
end of the belt be rounded it makes a
stylish closing at the back; one in
keeping with the whole scheme.
The front of the coatforms the
back of the .skirt. The button -holes

The close association established
lay The Merchants Bank of Canada
with the expansion of the business
and industry of ' the Dominion is
strikingly shown. by the semi-annual
statement of the Bank, to October
30th, 1920.
The Merchants Bank, with its com-
plete organization throughout the
Dominion, is known for the special
assistance to growing and expanding
businesses and the report now issued
shows that it has been particularly
active in this direction during the
fast year. This is reflected by the
increase in current loans and dis-
counts to customers to $120,515,403,
as compared with $102,346,514, a gain
of $18,168,889.
Increase in Capital
With a view of increasing its
facilities to the farmers and mer-
chants and the manufacturers of the
country, the Bank has provided for
an increase in capital and a, a re-
sult the paid-up capital now stands
at $9,955,970, an increase to date of
$1,614,434. At the same time the
reserve has been increased by $1,-
400,000
1;400,000 and now stands at $8,400,000.
Both these amounts will be further
increased by the instalments still
outstanding.
9. further substantial gain in sav-
ings deposits indicates that the Cana-
dian people are practising habits .of
thrift. During the year the savings
deposits of the banks have been drawn
on heavily to meet payments for the
last Victory Loan campaign. Not-
withstanding this development, the
Bank shows a gain in savings de-
posits of $4,628,040 and total deposits
now stand at $170,634,061, up from'
$166,006,015.
Assets at New High Level
As a result of the expansion, the
total assets established a new high
record by crossing the $200,000,000
mark. They now total $209,450,448,
against $198,506,572.
Shareholders will take particular
pride in the steady expansion shown
by the Bank. This development has
been the result entirely of the round-
ing out of its organization and ser-
vice throughout the country. With
more active trade conditions, the Bank
is now in a position to reflect the
benefit of the complete organization
which has been gradually built up
over the entire Dominion.
The general statement of assets
and liabilities, with comparisons with
the previous year, shows as fol-

that it does not look as though it
had to be made that way. It has the
appearance of being just as the
wearer planned it—and, it is!
Apple Butter.
Brass should never be used as a
cooking utensil. An iron kettle or
a copper kettle is all right for mak-
ing apple butter. To make, peel and
slice the apples. Use half as much
boiled cider as apples, that is, .11 you
have five gallons of apples use two
and one-half gallons, of eider•. Good
apple butter is only possible if it is
cooked a long time, about six horns,
over a slaw fire, and stirred constant-
ly. Add the sugar when the cook-
ing is well over, after three and a
half hours. A pound , of sugar to a
gallon of butter is a good allowance.
When it 9s finished add one-half tea-
spoon each of cloves, cinnamon and
allspice for each gallon, and seal at
once in hot sterilized jars.

Every wife knows that the first
places on her husband's shirt to wear
out are the collar and cuffs. I find
that, at the cost shirting is now, it
pays to sit down and rip the collar

the right side and fasten back to the
shirt. This • makes. the shirt look
