Dark ,blue le surely as fasluanabla as its staunclte.st admirers could Wish to have R. Bine serge has been fashionable: fur several seasons, in• creaeingly se, apparently. And it is tee much worn -now as ever. Of course blue, serge coat suits demand blue acre series, so there are blue net blouses, blue silk and lisle sioekiuge, blue handbags and other blue things by the score. Then there are many blue velvet hats. Blue is one of the best colors in the lovely new brocades for evening wear, tun And 'blue velvet ---even crimson velvet is nut more regal looking than rich and sumptuous velvet of king's blue, A New Apron, Aprons rose most of their terror if they are attractive, so an apron that follows the latest note in fashion is sure to be popular. • Such is the new bisque apron, a pattern for which is sold now by one of the pattern compa'1i•ee. It is made with a long -waited bisque •section, that is closed either in the front or back with a long row of buttons, There is a flopping sash at the back. When the apron - is buttoned in front it looks like a basque and long tunic, fur the lower part flares quite as the new tunics are- supposed to flare. It is made without sleeves, or with long bishop sleeves. Are Back Closings Coming? Bather insidiously have the new bank closings crept upon us. We are all perfectly satisfied to go on buttoning or hooking or snapping ourselves down the front. We have grown to think that the -logical place for a collar to close is low on the front of our throat, And most women much prefer a skirt that closes at the front or the side. Yet here quietly the bask closings have made their way into the fashion and it seems as if the only thing to clo was to accept them. The long -waited basque caress was responsible in part for this change, and the moyen-age dress with its square neck in front has also help- ed to bring about the changing tendency. And all this simply goes to show that our liking for the frontclosing is no deeper than our liking"for any other trick of fashion, for it is a liking that will give way to changing styles. Of course, one difficulty of the back closing with styles in their present condition is the collar. But the dressmakers will look after that. On evening frocks ib is al- ready easily managed—witnese the aforementioned. moyen-age line. On afternoon frocks and on sepa- rate blouses ie isnot so easy to handle—as yet. Bub doubtless by the time the back closing is once more firmly established, there will be an uncomfortable, ugly high collar, smart, no doubt, but still uncomfortable to our pampered. throats.

Thousands have tried this treatment with the most bene- ficial results, That every sufferer who does not try Dr, Williams' Pink .fills is neglecting the most helpful means of reouver'y is shown by the following statement. Mrs. lmelino Smith, St, Jerome, Que., says: "I was attacked with what the doctor said was inflammatory rheumatism. The joints of my lands, feet and limbs were badly swollen, and I suffered the most excruciating pain. Notwithstanding medical treatment the trouble became so bad that I could not go about. My appetite liegan to fail me and I was growing physically weak. A neighbor who. had been benefitted by Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills advised me to try them and I decided to do. s4. In the course of a few weeks I noted some improvement, and my appetite began to return. Then the swell- ing in my joints began to disap- pear,. and it was not long until I was perfectly cured and I have had no return of the trouble." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.10 by writing direct to The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

IMPRISONED FOR BRAVERY. A Trench Soldier Gets Fifteen Days lin prisonment. So ebrict are the Allies in observ- ing the laws of war that not even exceptional 'bravery or extraordin• ary circumstances permit the viola- tion of them. A French soldier has just earned the military medal for bravery and fifteen days' impa'ison- nrent -ab the same time. The colonel of an infantry regiment asked for a volunteer to take a cart and horse into the zone of fire to rescue a number of wounded men, wlio had been lying there for more than twenty-four hours, The soldier at once offered his services. During three days he made many journeys e s and had brought back anosb of the wounded, when his horse was shot. He unharnessed the dead horse and Started to pull the cart back to the French lines himeelf.

In elle course of an article in the Nineteenth Century on "Belgium in War," a record of personal ex- periences, Mr. J. H. Whitehouse tells of one visit he paid (towards the end of September) to Antwerp Cathedral, which brought home with dramatic force the sacrifice which Belgium was making. "It was the hour of the afternoon ser- vice, Outside was the crowded, eager life of an excited populace, finding outlet for its emotion and solace for its fears in communal intercourse. Inside, the vast con- gregation was composed largely of women, nearly all of them in deep mourning. Many of them seemed very old; they wept for sons, the li•tele ones clinging to their d'i'sas for fathers. Their faces, .beaubifa•1 with the toil and thought of years, were singularly impressive, They might have stepped from the wonderful Flemish canvases in the Art Gal- lery of their city. "A few days later these mourn- ing women, old and young, bearing in primitive bundles all that they could save of their household goods, formed part of the procession from the city of its entire population. History itself can scarcely offer a parallel to a spectacle so charged with human suffering. Five hun- dred thousand peacefu'i and 'unof fending inhabitants, homeless and helpless, were fieeing into 'bhe dark- ness. From the banks of the Scheldt amidst flhshes of fire they had what for many of them was their last vision of the city of their birth."

In order to replace it, the animal had to be thrown down, and a rope was drawn about his bind legs, This rope was passed through a block, and the chains of his fore- feet- being 'held firmly, the men Hauled away slowly but surely and drew the elephant's feet been be- neath him. He struggled fiercely, hot the block and tackle were too much for him, and he was finally drawn down upon his haunches, after which the chain that held his right forefoot was crossed to the left side of the inelosure and drawn taut. The difficulty then was to roll the animal over on his side, Several men entered the inclosure and pushed and tugged at him, but their efforts were without avail un- til a. rope, passed under his right foot and over his back, enabled the men to concentrate their efforts. As the elephant rolled over, the keeper jumped to his head, and while he was in this helpless condi- tion, the men removed the iron clamp on the tusk, and fastened a stronger one in its place. When the work was clone, they took the chain from the right fore- foot, and the elephant was permit- ted to rise. At a signal from the superintendent the men jumped off. The other ropes were then eas- ed and the shackles taken from his feet. 3 The physician is such a busy mann that he sometimes overlooks a valu- able point to which his- attention maybe called by an intelligent pa- tient who is a thinker. "About a year ago my attention was called to Grape -Nuts by one of my patients," a physician writes. "At the time my own health was bad and I was pretty well run downk butonce I saw at once that the theories behind Grape -Nutter were sound and that if the food was all that was claimed, it was a perfect food. "So I commenced to use Grape - Nets with cream twice a day, and in a short time I began to improve in every way and I am now much stronger, feel better and weigh mete°pan ever bej91e in my life "I know that all of ,this gcoc� is due to Grape -Nuts, and i am flitmiy convinced that the claims oracle for the food are true.

As a boy I was accustomed to have my mother use Nerviline for all our minor ailments, and remembering what confidence she had in Nerviline, I sent out for a bot- tle at once.

"For years I was thin and delicate, 1 lost color and was easily tared; a yellow pallor, pimples and blotches on my face were not only mortifying to my feelings, but because I thought my skin would never look nice again I grew despondent.

A discovery which may mean much to the Province of Ontario has been made at Caledonia Springs, namely that the waters of one of the four springs is strongly radio -active. A recent visitor, who had hitherto gone for his cure to the Austrian resort at Badgastein, was prevent- ed this year by the war, and tried the Canadian spring. He was struck by the similarity of the waters, which, on test, was found to be due to the presence of radium. The last official analysis was made in 1903, before the ramifications of radium were fully recognized, but Professor Ruttan, of McGill, has been eommissioned to make a new complete analysis. The value of a genuine radium spring in Europe is calculated to average from two to three million dollars, owing to the number of invalids who are attract- ed to such a spring.

No amount of grumbling will ever turn a rainy day into a sunny one, and the grumbler is sianply wasting much needed energy. None of us can escape disagreeable situations, and even the most prudent man must be prepared to have his plans miscarry, his allies fail him, his calculations turned upside down. What shall we do in such cases? The good man, if a wise mean, will snake the best of it.

Will You Help The Hospital forSickChildren, the Great Provincial Charity ? -40- Dear Dear Mr. Editor;— Thanks for the privilege of appeal- ing through your columns on beha,f of the Hospital for Sick Children. The Hospital takes care of sick and de- formed children, not only in Toronto, but in the Province, outside of the city. This coming year, of all the years in the Hospital's history, has a more serious outlook, as regards funds for maintenance, than any year that has passed its calendar. So many calls are being made on the purses of the generous people of To- ronto and Ontario, to help the soldiers of the Empire, that as I make my daily rounds through the wards of the Hospital, and see the Bufferin,; chil- dren inour cots and beds, the thought strikes me as to whether the people will as of old, with all the demands made upon them, answer our appeal and help to maintain the institution that is fighting in the never• -ending battle with disease and death, in its endeavor to save the stricken little ones in the child -life of Ontario. Last year there were 304 in -patients from 210 places outeide of Toronto, and in the past twenty years there have been 7,000 front places in the Province other than Toronto. It costs us $2.34 per patient per day' for maintenance. The municipalities pay for patients $1 per patient .per_ day; the Government allows 20 cents per patient per day; so, deducting $1.20 from $2.34, it (saves the Hospital with $1.14 to pay out of subscriptions_ it receives from the people of Toronto and the Province. The shortage last year ran to $18,000. Since 1830 about 1,000 oases of dub feet, bow legs and knock knees have been treated, and of these 900 had t perfect correction. Nearly all hese were from different parts of the Prb- vino° outside of the pity of Toronto. • Remember that every year is a war year with the Hospital; every day is a day of battle; every minute the Hospital needs money, not for its own sake, but for the chtldren'u sante. The Hospital is the battle-grotuld.where the Armies of Life have grappled with the Hostsof Death, and the lite or death of tbousands of Tittle children is the issue that is settled in that war, Will ye0 let the Hospital be driven from the field of Its battle to save the lives of little children for the lack of money you can give and never miss? 'Every dollar may prove itself a dreadnought In the battle against death, a flagship et the fleet that fights for the lives of little children. . Remember that the door of the Hoe• pltal's mercy is the door of tope, and your dollar, kind reader, may be the key that opens the door for some- body's child, • Will you send a sellar, cr mere It you can, to Douglas IyavidSon, Store• tary-Treasurer, or J.
