All are more or less alike. in general shape, Set in sleeves give thews a more fitted appearance than the kimono and raglan forma vnf Inst season. In their decorative features lies their real attractive- ness, "Inoroyable shaped 'collars, Mee that on the dainty lace blouse, ase great favorites, In this blouse itis combined with revers which outline' et V shaped neck. The deep pelerine lace cape is ` also a style feature of this lace 'blouse, These eireular Collar -capes, sometimes eo deep that they fall to the waist, are among the most attractive pieces of the new D'r'ench neckwear designed to be worn over simple blouses or frocks. They are made of linen, batiste or organdie, and' are embroidered in heavily padded designs with mercerized cotton or cast out into dashing openwork re- ticella. scrolls. A narrow encircling collar that stands away from the neck is a part of a favorite military blouse — a very good collar for any one with a short neok. Made of two thick noises of anaterial and stiffened with three .supports, it fences the peck amusingly without touching lt. New colored suit and dress braids have been introduced by Paris this season, a welcome variation of the black silk and ino•hair braids that have returned with a sudden rush to style. This "zouave" braid, in red and yellow block pattern, bor- ders the blue serge tailored suit which is very popular. Extremely wide plaid braids as supple as rib- bon are shaped into collars, belts, girdles and even vests for daytime suits and dresses. The extension chiffon skirt hem, a most .coquettish addition to after noon and evening Paris gown de• signs, is incorporated in the whits silk dress. The hem is of wide chif- fon. Problem. of the Coat. It is much more of a problemthan it used to be, this question of. the right separate coat to go over the morning, afternoon or evening dress. When the number bas to be reduced to its lowest terms because of shortened purse strings or be- cause one may need a garment that can be worn without change during the entire day there is much dif- ficulty to find something that is right, modish and at the same time in place. Here is a descl'iptioe of an out- side coat that one can wear through an entire day, say, if one comes to town, goes shopping in the morn- ing, to tea in the. afternoon, and stays in town to dine. For this suede cloth or a first class duvetyn is just right. Taupe, dull green, or one of 'the dull orange or gold- en brown shades can be had in these materials. A king's blue, futurist or Roman striped lining gives life to such a garment and lends it individuality when it is thrown back over the chair. For those who cess return home several times during the day there is more choice. The forestry cloths and smart cravenette goods come in splendid neutral tones that look well over any morning dress. Tweed coats on mannish lines are for those. who live in the suburbs and need a smart outdoor sport coat. More summery are the bright corduroy and golfine coats in strawberry reds, grape purple and battle ship grays. With a round sport cap to match they make delightful spots of'oolor,on the landscape and are charming over white tennis skirts. Black satin is always charming for an elaborate afternoon or even- ing coat. This year faille silk is more fashionable, but the satin is worn none the less for all that. Their linings are white silk with. large white flowers, black and white diamond harlequin cheeks or enormous black and white checker- board patterns. All of the coats, sport as well es evening, are cut on circular lines so that they flare out around the bottom. The more elaborate ones are nearly skirt length. Horse Wine 'Recognition.

A GOOD MEDICINE + FOR THE RING Do Not Use Harsh Purgatives —A Tonic is All You Need Not exactly sick—bet not feeling quite well, net is the way most people feel in the spring, Easily tared, appetite fickle, eometaanes headaches, and a feeling of depres- sion. Pimples or eruptions may appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheessnatisun or. neer- algia. Any of these indicate that the blood is out of order—tlhat the indoor life of winter has left its tnark upon you and may easily de- velop into more serious trouble. Do not dose yourself with pur- gatives, as so many people do, in the hope that you can put your. blood right. Purgatives gallop through the system and weaken in- stead of giving strength. Any doe for will tell you this ie true, What you need in spring is a tonic that will make new blood and build up the nerves, Dr. Williaane' Pink Pills' is the only medicine that can do this speedily, safely' and surely; Every dose of this medicine makes new blood which' clears the skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tired, depressed ewe, women and children bright, active and strong. Mrs, S. E. Stephents, Ponoka, Alta., says: "I 'suffered severely from headaches, and was badly eon down in health. I had tried severall remedies with no 'benefit, until I was advised ,to try De. -Williams' Pink Pills,'and these have fully re- stored my'heallth, and I can resole- mend- them -,with confidence to a1.1 weak women."

Did you ever see one suc- ceed at it? A hen knows better than to try it, that is the reason why you have to say no to those two ques- tions. A duck may swim all day long on water with cakes of ice floating around in it, and be none the worse for the elerience; but a hen would die in. short order 'if thrown into such water. The.dtick is built for it, the hen is not. If the Lord, or the forces of na- ture,•or whatever your religion leads you to call the great creative genius of the earth, makes hens to live only on the land and .the ducks to live on either the-land,or the wa- ter, it is but natural to suppose that he also makes'some people to be farmers and others to be doctors, lawyers, merchants and chiefs. If the doctor tries to be a lawyer, or the farmer tries to be a merchant or doctor, he is just about as sure to prove a failure at it a,s the hen is sure to prove a failure at trying to be a duck. The business man—whether doc- tor, lawyer, or farmer—grill find out what he is cut out to be, and then stick to it through 'thick and thin. If he dace it with concentra- tion and courageous etick-to-ib-ive- nese he will ivin out in the end, and be successful. If he tries the thing he is not fitted by nature to be, or loses his courage in doing the thing he is cut out to be, he will be more or less of a failure. If the Lord meant for you to be e, farmer, do not try to be some- thing else. If He meant you to be a lawyer or a doctor, do not try to be a farmer. Stick to your "call- ing," it is just as great and just as honorable as is anything else. In sticking, there is happiness and contentment; in flying bIf the handle there is +failure, regret and lifelong sorrow. CAREFUL DOCTOR - Prescribed Change of Food Instead of Drugs. It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of medicines. Some truly scientific physicians recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated. Hero's an inatanee "Four yaars ago I was taken with severe gastritis, and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation.

St. John, Na, Dec. 16th.—At one time it was feared that Mrs. J. Grant, of 3 White St. would succumb to the deadly ravages of advanced kidney trouble. "My first attacks of back- aohe and kidney trouble began years ago. For six years that dull gnawing pain has been present. When I ex• erted myself it was terribly intensified. df I caught cold the pain was unen- durable. I used most everything but nothing gave that certain grateful re- lief that came from Dr. Hamilton's Pills of Mandrake and Butternut.

OBSERVE ARBOUR DAL Objects for Which it Stands are to Genera! Atlantage of Canada. Arbour Day is not observed in Canada to the extent which its im- portance warrants. Our people must ever keep in mind their dependence upon her foreets. With large areas suitable only for forestry purposes, it is essential that the value of trees and thea'` protection should be thoroughly impressed upon Cana. diens. In Ontario Arbour Day is cele- brated' to a limited extent in schools, but its observance should be general. There is need in every part of Canada for the education and instruction which Arbour Day represents. It should be observed as a public holiday at a-tdme most suited to the climatic conditions of the locality, The planting and pre- tection of shade trees, preparation of flower and vegetable gardens, and thorough cleaning up of homes and surroundings should be advo- cated es special duties for the Baty. Arbour Day has its justification in the value of trees. Nothing con- tributes so much to make the world a pleasant place to live in a,s trees. The true home feeling is not saain- ried without the presence of the trees, with their shelter and shade, their beauty of fain and leaf, their blossom and fruit, their varying shades with the passing of the sea- sons, and their fulness of colour in the -autumn days. They also afford homes and ,shelter for our feather- ed friends, the birds, during their animal visits. Nothong adds beauty and value to a home or schoolhouse more than the presence of trees; nothing adds morn to the comfort of pedestrians than shade trees, The way may be long and dusty, but ander the cool shade of the trees relief is found. It ie to be hoped, therefore, that the oeleb•ration of Anbour Day will become more general; t'ritet the planting and owe of 'trees and' shrubs around schoolhouses, homes, public •spaeee and by roadsides may have the effect of developing m, keener appreciation of the value and beauty, el trees; and that in thus enlarging the field of Arbour bay activities, •greater interest may bo created in the protection of our Canadian forests from the reckless ono appears front time to time.

NJi1 PILLS, Qncbeo Man Took His Wife's Ad- vice and Is Now Enjoying a New Lease of Realth, Ste. Mamguerite Bay Mills, Sag- uenay Co,, Que., April 20th (Spee tial), --"Yes you as tell tivo publasd of the great relief I got from Dodd's Kidney Pills," The speak- er was Mr, Joseph Gagne, a well- known resident of this place, and be has every reason to be enthued- aetio over the great Canadian Rid- ney resnedy, 'For more than two years I suf- fered from Kidney disease," Mr. Gagne oonttiinued, "It finally de- veloped into pleurisy and I was a vevy sick man when my wife pe•r- suaded me to give Dodd's Kidney Pills a trial. "I took just three boxes and they made me weld." Dodd's Kidney Pills make their users enthusiastic beeeuse they not only euro the particular ailment aimed et but they spread good health all over the body, They do this by curing the Kidneys. Cured Kidneys strain all the impurities out of the blood. That means pure blood and new health all over the body. • A SQUARE DEAL. In any organization so large as that of the C.P.R., where under normal eonditions over 100,000 em- ployeee are on the payroll, one great problem is that of keeping the employees, so to speak, dyna- mic, pone of a living organization and net of mere machines. '. Zeal and ambition must be kept burn- ing. Just as every soldier of Na- poleon carried a field inanities baton in his knapsack, so every office boy in the Company must feel he is a possible president, not merely earn his dollar a day tild- pension day. One system intro- duced on the Western lines with this in mind has proved exceeding- ly efficient. Each superintendent or foreman or head of a depart- ment makes two reports a year an his staff. Bright men are thus ear- marked for special promotion. If any man is criticized, the report is shown to ]rim and initialled by him before it goes to Winnipeg. He gets a square deal, and if he has any life in him he mends his ways so that, no such criticism can be made twice. Then again there are independent scouts, looking for the `bright men, the tidy station agent, the courteous trainman, the man cool in an emergency, the inventive mechanic, the stenographer who can run the office when the chief is absent. These scouts are search- ing for merit only, not for faults. Over the whole system of the Canadian Pacific ideas and sugges- tions made by employees are not only welcomed, but lead to pro- motion. They go to the Record Office, where a stateunent of true employee's career is attached to the sngges'lion before it is con- sidered by a committee. If the idea is adopted the record of the employee's career is then before the eyes of the powers that be, and recognition is sure to follow. The needle in the haystack is easy enough to find with a magnet, and there are adozen magnets looking out for merit among the 100,000 em- ployees of the C.P.R.

The Canadian Red Cross Society has sent an urgent appeal to Mr'.. J. H. Grimm, who is well • known in the maple syrup industry, for a donation of syrup and sugar for the boys at the front, A letter from Colonel Correl, of the First Canadian Contingent, tells of the enthusiastic reception accorded a recent ease from Can- ada containing, among other things, a few 'awes bf maple su- gar.
