Military straps are among the popular sleeve tl'imminge, The white lace veil is more wide ly worn than any other: Hats are larger now thantheY will be later in the season. Mohair is the t &'vorite materia for automobile dust coats. Pongee hats, matching pongee costumes are smart just now. Walking costumes are a bit se- vere, with little trimming, Linen frocks with short skirts are popular for street wear, "Linden," a creamy yellow gree is a leading shade in new dresses. The overskirt effect is seen more and more as the summer advances Mittens are worn by some of the fafeionable women at watering places. Lace has a wider vogue than ever before, and is freely used, even oh shoes. The separate linen skirt is popu- lar for wear with dainty lingerie blouses. Some of the fancy sleeves have lacings and buttons carried up the entire length. Some of the new foulards have large dots, black on white and white on black. Pale shades of ecru and brown are not so much it fashion as they were last season. Summer suite' in the "brown" class range from really dark brown to greenish yellow. All greens are popular in the pre - Fent fashions, jade green being an especial favorite. The correct petticoat of the hour is of pure white lingerie fabric, limp and soft. Buttons, are still popular, but are more modest in size than a, few months ago. When a color is used for Lining, the hat, shoes, belt, and gloves ,a11 partake of the same hue.

Dog collars of velvet are especi- ally pretty when embroidered in tiny buds and flowers or a spray of foliage, in natural colors. Worn with summer dresses, they are smart and stylish. Black chiffon yokes and under - sleeves are still enjoying the po- pularity that was theirs a year ago. They are even worn with gowns of palest shades, and the fashion is most economical Cotton and linen crochet buttons aro used on all the "tub" dresses this season. They are flat and can be laundered without being taken from the dress,` thus having a great advantage over the pearl button "DAD, HERE'S TO YOU." PALE, 1,,ANGUIU GIRLS Weals Blood During Develop - went May Lastly Cause a Life of suffering. A Tonle Snell as Dr Williams' Pink Pills is }ceded to Build Up the GINA and Give libW Stt ongth, • At no time in her life does a gin ,stand in greater need of pure red blood and the strength wnieh it alone can give her, than whop BOO is developing into womanhood. It - is then that any inherited tenden- cy to anaemia or consumption needs only the slightest encourage- ment to rapidly develop, This 1'. danger is especially threatening w girls who are eonfined long hours indoors, in stores, offices and fac- tories—girls depressed by worry and cares. All these conditions quickly impoverish the blood aael are among the most common caus- es of sickness among growing girls n and young women. If at any time a girl finds that her strength is failing and she is becoming pale • and nervous, has no ambition and is languid, it is a certain sign that her blood is failing to meet the de- mands upon it, because it is im- pure and thin. It is at a time like this that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills - are invalu- able to young women and growing girls. They build up the blood, make it rich, red and pure, tone the nerves and give new health and strength to every part of the body. They have cured so many cases of -this kind that they may truly bo called a specific for the common diseases of girlhood. Miss Minnie Smith, Creighton street, Halifax,- says —'`I' have proved that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are all that is claimed for them in cases similar to mine. About three years ago I suddenly began to run down. I grew so weak that I could hardly attend to my school studies. I suf- fered from headaches, my heart would palpitate violently at the least exertion, and my appetite was very fickle. I tried doctors' medicine and emulsions, 'but, the treatment did not help me. Then I started taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and after taking seven or eight boxes I was stronger than ever before. I feel that I owe my present good health to Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and gratefully recommend them to other ailing girls." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be. sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine 0o., Brockville, Ont. THE ARMY TAILOR'S BILL GJULI ' CLOTHING FACTORY AT PIMLICO, ENGLAND. Tito Thousand Suits Can he.Turoad Out in a Normal Workin6 r Day. It will astonish most people to be told that the British Govern - meg, in addition to being a maker 1 of laws, is the greatest toiler in the world, The Army Olotlling 1t'aotory or, Pimlico is the biggest tailor's shop,in England. Last year Tommy Attunes' tailor's bill amounted to £355,375. During the Beer. War the clothingof the Army cost near- ly 25,000,000, says London, Tit -Bits. Trousers are the most costly item ir the soldier's wardrobe, and for their nether garnnents last year the nation had to pay no less a sum than £73,276. And this recalls the fact that it is less than ninety years since the British Army first put on its trousers—that the British infan- try soldier, that is to say, first sub stituted trousers for the old-fash- ioned knee breeches. NEW RULES FOR TOMMY. From April 1st last the British soldier was clothed on an entirely. different system to what has pre- vailed for so many years, and, the innovation will probably be a great deal more satisfactory to the rank and file. Every man will receive his free outfit on enlistment as heretofore., but will be required to provide his personal clothing and necessaries out of an allowance ere- dited to him quarterly in advance. Instead of his present kit allowance Of twopence a day after six months' service,' he will receive at the end of his first year a lump sum equiva- lent to the accumulated twopences in addition to the separate cloth- ing allowance. The maintenance of kit and cloth- ing will be a matter between the soldier and his commanding officer. It is intended that, the present ar- bitrary periods of wear allotted to each garment shall be abolished; under the old system a pair of trou- sers might be serviceable to -day and "time -expired" to -morrow,: ONE MILLION A YEAR. We happened in a home the other night, and over the parlor door saw the legend worked in letters of red, "What is Home without a Mother t" • Across the room was another brief, / "God bless our Heine." Now, what's the matter with "God Bless Our Dad!" He gets up early, lights the fire, boils an egg, and wipes the dew off the lawn with his boots, while many a mother is sleeping. He makes the weekly hand out for the butcher, the grocer, the milkman, the baker, and his little pile is badly worn be- fore he has been home an hour. If there is a noise in the night Dad is kicked in the back and made to go downstairs and find the burglar and kiIl him, Mother darns the socks, but dad bought the socks in the first place, and the needles and yarn afterwards. Mother does up the fruit; Dad bought it all, and jars and sugar cost Eike the mis- ebief. Dad buys the chickens for Sunday dinner, serves them himself and draws the neck from the ruins after everyone else is served.

Roughly speaking, it costs a1,000,- 000 ever year to clothe.the British Army. The headgear of the troops, embracing everything from a sim- ple cap to a bearskin helmet, ex- hausts nearly 250,000, and boots, shoes, and leggings, which are pur- chased ready-made, cost nearly £250,000. The cost of a soldier's uniform varies from just over £10 10s. to less than £3, according to the regiment in, which he may be serving. For instance, the annual tailor's bill for the rank and file in the Life Guards is just over £7, while in the infanty of the line it is under £3. TESTING THE CLOTH. At the Army Clothing Depart- ment at Pimlico many hundreds of workers, chiefly women and girls, are employed in turning out soldi- ers' suits: Apart from the mere making of the clothes the most im- portant part of the work is the in- spection of the raw material brought in to be worked up, and of the finished articles which are de- livered at the factory to be distri- buted. : Not a yard of cloth is ac- cepted on trust. Every piece is objected to several tests to prove its quality. There are machines on which small pieces are broken to. ascertain the strength of the ma- terial; and other apparatus for ,eating the permanence of the color. Each web of cloth is also unrelled before an examiner, who goes over very yard with the utmost care to seek out any flaws which may exist. No shoddy is accepted, and tho lightest defects or deviations from attern•or specification are regard- ed as ample justification for the re- ection of the piece. When it has been submitted to all the tests, owever, and found satisfactory, it s stamped on every square yard with the official mark and passed i, -lo the cutters. WO THOUSAND SUITS A DAY Thus throughout th a hour thebuilding g uridine the ork of examination goes on along ids that of manufacture, so that, ommy may not only be amply but well clad. The work is really taiI- ring, however; that is to say, its. reductive side is mainly engaged making coats and trousers for is soldiers, and of these, working he • normal . day, 2,000 complete hits can be turned out.

Row an English Teacher. Drove Bomo a Aioi'al Lesson, The simple manner in which' a moral lesson can be conveyed to the mind of a child was delightfully de- monstrated recently at the house of Mrs. Eric Hembree London, Eng. land, The children sat round a slightly raised platform with their backs to the audience. Mr. Gould, with the aid of a blackboard, eom- menced straightway to take them into his confidence. "1 an going to draw a map," said Mr. Gould, with a smile; ' °and I wonder if ynu can name the country—I wonder i" It was a crude outline, but this teen hands went up simultaneously, "India ! eerie a chorus of th' voices. "And the religion of the people? They are Mahometans." And there and then he told a, story of Jelal, the Mahometan teacher, who bowed acknowledgment to a street child that had bowed to him. '!Now, what trait had' the great Jelal displayed in bowing to that child?" Thirteen children mune thirteen guesses, but the wo"l that expressed the situation was not named, "Never mind," said Me Gould; "it will occur to you pre sently," and with charming tact he commenced to relate a story of a gentleman -who, while traveling in e Parisian: railway carriage with a number of miners, was asked if he objected to their smoking. He re- plied in the negative, although suf- fering from a bronchial affe,ttol:. "Any way, the miners put away their pipes," the story -teller pea ceeded. "Now, what had they shown?" "Respect," came the an- swer in a flash. Then back the children were taken to India and the story of Jelal. They saw the point, and so at the end of twelve minutes a great lesson had beea. taught in the simplest of ways. So by story -telling Mr. Qoui+l built up "a golden ladder" of re- spect—respect to a child, an inva- lid, a teacher, other nations, other religions and to animals. arm - 'Tis a Marvellous Thing.—When the cures effected by Dr. Thoma' Eclectric Oil are considered, the speedy and permanent relief it has brought to the suffering wherever it has been used, it must be re- garded as a marvellous thing that so potent a medicine should result from the six simple ingredient, which enter into its composition.

The ardent controversy which has been waging in England and America concerning the best way to dispose of school boys in the long summer vacation has prompt- ed the Grand Trunk Railway Sys- tem to issue a special publication giving suggestions and practical hints to parents, as to what to do with the public and preparatory school boy during the months of July and August. The vacation camp is one of the solutions and the publication entitled, "What shall a Boy do with his vacation" thoroughly covers the ground and solves the problem of the best way for a schoolboy to enjoy his holi- days. A copy may be obtained for the asking by applying to Mr. J. . McDonald. PROUD. b "They say be's proud of his new "Proud! I should say he is.

A code of hand signals, which appears to be something similar to the "tic-tao" operations of the racecourse tout, has been adopted by the Edinburgh Fire Brigade. It is supposed to be the only brig- ade to be in possession of such a system. The uses are apparent when a fireman fends himself iso• laced in the upper part of, any a tall tenement. Leaning out of the win- dow he could signal to his collea- gues in the street that the fire - escape was required, or that an• other line of hose should be brought into use. Then, again, a fireman posted on the roof could signal be- low that another steamer should be telephoned for, at', perhaps, a sec- ond hose -tender, under Mecum - gantries when the loudest shout would be without at'sil.
