As she was really clever with her brush and very neat, her mother did not the least object; indeed, she had said that when Angela was a lit - tie older she should have lessons in painting. The picture that Angela decided to color on this very afternoon was one that illustrated a story about a snow fairy. She would just have time to finish it; before it grew dark, for be-, sides the blue 'sky and a few fir trees, there WAS little else to be done.

RESTORE NORTHERN FRANCE. French Cabinet Will Re-establish Nor- mal Conditions. Plans for the reconstruction of northern France_after the war, work- ed out by a rtEnch Cabinet commit- tee and outlined in official reports re- ceived at Washington, embrace a care- fully prepared programme for restor- ation of normal conditions immediate- ly after peace is declared, Provisions are included for the re- turn of refugees to the enemy occu- pied districts as expeditiously as pos- sible, prefects of the departments al- ready having reported the number to be repatriated and a system having been worked out for the return first of those whose presence is an immediate necessity. A central labor bureau has been established in Paris to estimate the labor demand and supply. Health services in the north will be reorganized under the plan to direct measures of security from damaged buildings and unexploded shells, and the advisability of building of port- able houses to send to northern pro- vinces is being investigated. Steps also are being taken looking to vict- ualling' the departments of the Nord, Pas -de -Calais, Somme, Aisne, Ar- dennes and Meuse after the war by Government allowanees. Cattle now kept in the camp of Paris will be sup- plied to the northern farmers, and prefects in the invaded district have been provided with feeds to purcheso ngricultural machinery. Resumption of industrial activities will be under direction of the Minister of Comrneree, who will form a private organization to handle funds advanced by the Government, and distribute merchandifte. Exports will be closely regulated. The youngest general in the 13ri- Deli Army is thirty-nine years old. Before Drinking Tea sr Coffee, You Should Consi i er het Or Not It Is Harinf 1 "There's a Reason" for How He Attached Cable to Tree at Great Height. A few weeks ago the crew of Hig- gins' logging camp at Camelon Har- bor, Tribune Channel, about 80 miles north of Vancouver, witnessed an act of remarkable daring and agility, per- formed by one of their number, which will doubtless be talked about for many a day in the Coast lumber camps, where feats of daredevil In av-1 ery are as common as "scraps" among school boys. In the course of a shift to a new logging location it became necessary to attach a cable to a very tall tree at a point 120 feet from the ground. Usually this is done by a workman equipped with pole -climbing spurs and belt, but this time these means were not available, What was to be done? It would take several days1 to secure the equipment from Van- ' couver and a shutdown of the opera- tions for that length of time was not to be thought of owing to the heavy expense involved. This is where tall Andrew Busby came to the voseue, if reports are trtuies-He was on expert chopper and skilled in using a springboard. With his axe and two springboards he be- gun to climb the tree. Standing on the first board, he chopped a notch five feet above him, slipped the sec- ond board into the notch, climbed up, and, drawing the first board after him, 'repeated the performance a ecoro of times, In an hour, while his compan- ions below watched him breathlessly, he reached the top of the tree and af- fixed the rope. Standing on a board a few inches wide, lie was apparently as cool at 100 feet from the ground as when he wits only five ft from terra firm. Busby is now a private in the 280th Forestry Battalion, having enlisted in Vancouver a few days after perform-, ing' thd above rOoOrtied. The New Styles Bead embroidery is a strong riva just now of the claimed -stitch embrok - ei y workedsiIk and wens . On white backgrounds, white and color- ed beads are used most effectively. The white chalk beads on dark satins and silks form very handsome trim- mings. Beads of various colors ar- ranged in designs to imitate the pop- ular Paisley effect is one of the newest developments in bead work, Other Very attractive color combinations are also seen, such as dull blue, old rgorsoeundansd brown on light tan back - Recent costumes from Paris also show that machine stitching is a very prominent form of trimming. Rows upon rows of stitching are used at the edges of coats and on collar and cuffs. COLD IN IIPP/Ot Ab1, Temperature Remains Practically Con, stant Ml the Year. The night the two Zeppelins canls to grief was the coldest since last Winter, says the London Chsoniele — 10 degrees of frost were registered In many places mar London --but those who expressed surprise that the baby - killers should venture on a trip under such Arctic conditiens know little about the upper air. The fact that the temperature decreases fairly uniform-, ly up to a height of about 80,000 feet has been known for many years by • means of automatic registering appa- ratus sent up in "balloons sondes," but it has also been ascertained that though the temperature at about 10,- 000 feet is very low—in the neighbor- hood of SO degrees of froet—it re- mains practically constant all the year round. However cold or worm it may! be at the surface of the earth, the same degree of coldness is always en- countered a few thousand feet above, : and it was probably no colder in the "Zeppelin zone" that night than it is on the hottest day of Midsummer. KEEP LITTLE ONES WELL IN WINTER 1 Winter is a dangerous season for • the little ones. The days are so chungeable—one bright, the next cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. In consequence they are often cooped ; up in overheated, badly ventilated ',rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tablets, They will regulate the' stomach and bowels and drive out colds and by their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season in perfect safety. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. GREAT INFLUX AFTER WAR. Many Canadians Will Remain in Eng- land, Says Queensberry. A close student of British finance, who is on a visit to Canada at pre- sent to make extensive investigations into Canadian conditions for after - the -war investments, and the bring- ing out of settlers, is the Marquis of Queensberry, who is accompanied . by Mr. H. Stanley Waugh. "There is an enormous interest being taken in Canada, and thou -1 sands will leave the Old Land for this country as soon as the war is over," the Marquis declared. "I know thousands of Belgians who intend , making Canada their future home. They are tired of the war, and don't want to return to their former coun- try. I have heard even Englishmen say, 'Oh, if I could only get away to the wilds and forget it all.' • "We in England felt that black cloud of Germany all along. It in- terfered everywhere. I had arranged for the working of mines in Liberia, South Africa, and Germany interfer- ed. I had a bill put through the Turkish Parliament several years ago, and Germany interfered. The ; world will be a different place when this war is aver," he declared. "It has done us gooto make such great sacrifices." The Marquis expects to be in Can- ada for about a year. He is the ninth Marquis of Queensberry eteseeeding his father in 1000. He dsee eseisider- able writing for the eress. 7861-7560 The Pinched -Back Coat The stitching is often done in silk of a darker shade than the material it is used on, and sometimes in the same shade. Hip -length coats with the pinched effect at the back and a straight front are very smart for the serviceable suit for daily wear or for the sports suit. The back is belted with a rath- er wide belt stitched down over short pleats, which produces the pinched effect. With this type of coat the full box -pleated skirt makes an excellent coatume. In mannish mixtures and jersey cloth, these suits are worn for shopping, sports, and fur practical use. The sketch illustrates one of these jaunty suits in bright green jersey cloth. These patterns may be obtained from your local McCall dealer or from the McCall Company 70 Bond St., Toronto, Ontario. "Dept. W" No Need To Rub!
