So often one sees two 'bright spots upon the cheeks of girls, (and often, it must be, confessed, if the color was absent altogether, allow- ing the natural flush of youth to ap- pear, it would be much prettier), and these bright spots bear little re- lation to the natural, healthy glow which should adorn the face. One reads in fashion papers about how to choose the right shade to go with • the dress or hat, but in my opinion the only shade to choose is the shade such expeditions, but we feel sure that he often wished that -when this business was , well over that she would don a pretty frock. and look feminine. A girl utterly despises a man who looks feminaie, so to some degree, at least, a man despises a mannish looking woman. But now that fashion has decreed that women must again look femi- nine it is up to somebody to "desigq seine feminine sports cloths far wo- men, for we 'do not at all advocate that women should sit down in the drawing room or on the vine -covered porch and hem on a cambric hand- kerchief all day long. I think she should keep on taking part in out- door sports, but no need to make herself over into a poor imitation' of man to do it. Let her be herself no matter what epmes. She wi11 find that she is a gainer in many respects and loser in very few. We pay our- selves ,a very poor compliment when we ape men. Let's be true to our, selves. —REBEKAH, to go with the skin, and that is the natural shade. Pinch your cheek un- til it is red, . then choose the color which matches that, or as nearly as possible. It may be all right for the ladies who never go anywhere in daylight, who Iive in a world of perpetual ar- tificial light, to match up complex- ions with the color of the gown. But for girls who go to business and who spendthe day in the open, as it were, if they consider it necessary t� dab on colorat all, they should be careful to choose the most natural color possible. And it should be put on rather sparingly in the daylight. -cesasemree I have remarked before on the tendency to return to feminine things in wearing apparel and in occupations. The return of puffs, frills and curves seems to have been accomplished without so much as a protest from the ladies most con- cerned, and from the masculine side seems to be welcomed. Men have put up with the strange freak of fancy on the part of woman that she was enhancing her charms by aping men in dress and manners. They put up with it, no doubt, be- cause women are necessary,,a neces- sary evil, perhaps,. but necessary, anyway, in running the world, but very few of thein admired women in such garb and they are thankful to have them come back to what they believe to be their senses again. A woman is never so charming as when she is true to her nature, a real woman, feminine in dress manners and instincts. I never could understand why, when a pretty girl could dress in dainty, frilly things, she elected to don duck trousers and a flannel shirt, and I am sure many a mere man has often wonder- ed over the same matter. Of course the girl who did this was usually a good sport; one who was ready for any sort of hike or outdoor amusement and the outdoor man found her a good companion on Service OF TEE Gtttubtin e?'itraL , ttuiriatioit and Life Insurance Companies in Canada.

GRAVES MARK RESTING PLACE OF SONGSTERS On a little strip of earth along the right-of-way of the Canadian .Na- tional Railways in The Pas are ten tiny graves, surrounded by little stones. The little graves were made by children who buried more than 100 birds dropped to earth during the autumn migration to warmer cli- mates. The birds were American Warb- lers, often called wild canaries. Their nesting grounds are in the Hudson Bay region. Recently they started south in flocks of hundreds, and ev- en thousands, and in the early hours before dawn the air was alive with the song' of these birds. Suddenly the chirping ceased. In the morning hundreds of birds were found dead along the railway tracks. It is be- lieved that in their night flight they became confused by the town lights and flew into the strings of tele, graph and telephone wires. SALAD DRESSING A substantial salad may well form the main dish of a meal, lunch or supper, or even dinner if there is one hot dish. Or it may be the dessert, using either fresh or canned fruit.

TROLLEY CARS 50TH BIRTHDAY Fifty years ago, the first trolley car was placed in operation when John Wright of Toronto and an as-. sistant named Vanderpole developed the idea of the overhead wire and trollypole. Storage batteries pre- viously in use had been found inef- ficient, uncertain and were much too heavy, while third -rail experiments gave little promise of their ultimate sucecss owing to current losses and danger to the public, problems re- lating to insulation being little un- derstood. It was with a third -rail car that had been sent to the scrap heap from an American experimental laboratory that Mr. Wright and his assistant won success -with the wire and trolley pole. this tramway built from Bathurst Street to Strachan Avenue, Toronto, carried 20,000 pas- sengers to and from the grounds of the Toronto Exhibition in 1883 with- out a delay or mishap of any kind. This first tramway attracted inves- tigators from all over the American Continent and in a few years Mr. %'right's invention had spread far and wide.

NEW SNOW An hour ago the world was dreary; The folic who passed looked dull and weary; My eyes desired a sight more cheery Than earth's November gown? Then swiftly, softly, came the snow, About the streets to drift and blow. Is it but one short hour ago The firs flakes fluttered down? 'Tis but an hour! And now I view A symphony, white, gold and blue: Pure snow, blue sky, and sunshine through Sullen storm clouds breaking. The passersby show faces bright; The children shout in sheer delight; My heart is glad; the world's aright: Joy is here for taking. --Stella Cook. Veritable Barnyard Shipped to Bermuda Quaint carriages, relics of another generation, were assembled in the Canadian National Steamships docks recently and loaded into the "vaga- bond cruise" freighter "Colborne," which sailed for Bermuda, the Lesser Antilles, Trinidad and British Gui- ana. The carriages were recruited in the State of Vermont, it is reported, and were landed in Bermuda where automobiles are prohibited and horse- drawn traffio is characteristic. What with the hay and cows, the tukeys, geese and piglets which preceded the wagons to Beremuda, a veritable barnyard was transported to the sum ny British Islands. * 4. * 4 * 4 * * * * * * THE NEWS -RECORD * THE NEW -RECORD IS * AN ALL-AROUND FAMILY • NEWISPAPER, WITH SOME- *' THING OF INTEREST FOR * EVERY MEMBER OF THE * FAMILY.

I HEARD THE MOONLIGHT TINKLE I heard the moonlight tinkle; And it broke upon my mood Like a bit of fairy laughter From a dark, enchanted wood. It tinkled on the water Through a rift the fog left wide— With small and4brittle music It glittered on the tide. Cascading down dark foliage It trickled on the grass, And the winds stood still to hearken Lest that elfin music pass. I, listening to the tinkling Of its tambournies of light Saw dark reflections shattered, ]:•Ieard silver bells all night. —Marion Steward, in Christian Science Monitor. THE LAST RESTING PLACE I would not wish for her a fairer resting -place than that, amid green fields, when now she lies; 1 would not wish her couch a.bright- er canoy than the great skies. I would not wish her rest soothed by a melody more sweet than bird -song and the whispering breeze; I would not see more staunch friends standing sentinel than stately trees. When on the dew -bathed grass I lay niy offering of homely posies which she loved the best, I pray that I may share that same green coverlet when I shall rest. —Wilfred Howe -Nurse.

Honey is a highly concentrat- ed sugar solution, and as such may be used in practically every way that ordinary sugar is used. Owing to the great variety of flowers from which it is gathered, honey varies greatly in colour ants flavour. As a rule, the lighter the colour the more . delicate its flavour, therefore, in selecting for flavour one may be largely guided by colour. All Cana- dian honeys granulate sooner or lat- er. This, however, does not affect its quality, and granulated honey can easily be restored to its liquid form by standing it in hot water un- til all the crystals are dissolved. The water should be no hotter than the hand will bear. Honey contains from 18 to 20 per cent water, there- fore the quantity of liquid called for in any recipe must be reduced one fourth when honey is used to replace the sugar. Honey is less acid than molasses, therefore, if it is used in the place of molasses less soda is required. From one-quarter to one-half teaspoon is sufficient for one cup of honey. Most honeys have a slightly higher sweetening vt&lue than sugar, therefore, less of it should be used when replacing sug.. ar. When used on fruit or cereals, or in the manufacture of fruit drinks or ice cream, honey not only provides the necessary sweetening element, but in addition adds a delightful flavour of its own. If used in the manufacture of bread, cakes, cookies muffins, etc., it not only improves such a rale their flavour but also their keeping As wakens whitecaps; woos the qualities, in that it keeps them moist and more palatable for a much longer time than does sugar. Honey may also replace sugar in part or In whole in the making of jams or pre• serves, but as it has a tendency to foam when heated, greater care must be exercised to prevent it from boiling over. Tested recipes can be obtained by writing to the Bee Di- vision, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. trees to sing, Makes the sad leaves remember by- gone sun And sap of youth; washes them once more green As at their birth that they forget the dun Days coming and their death, and what winters mean.

Seeman, Canadian National Railways agent, at Port Colborne, sliced a golf ball that travelled 300 miles and came back to hien. Driv- ing from the ninth hole of the Port Colborne Country Club course, See- man sliced the ball out of bounds. It disappeared into an open box car of a moving freight train. A few days later he received a package from Walkerville, Ont., containing the lost ball. When the station agent at Walkerville was presented with the ball by an employee, he recog- nized Seennan's initials. s E 0 rc , The economicalc` ;IEDWAADs3ugD� and delicious FuV ce, a a table syrup CNN Wel tt THL CANADA STARCH CO. �� (RN�.1,���{.�+,,ti; LIMITdD, MONTREAL Ca rtisha
