Montreal Journal Commends
Colorful Garb for

"That enterprising and ubiquitous
individual, the American tailor,"
writes the Montreal Daily Star, "has
decreed that the business man must
have more color in his life—by way
of his clothes—this forthcoming
spring and summer." He prescribes
a selection of snappy hues, so that
the wearer may be able to pick a
suit of the color he feels like wear-
ing and no longer be limited to "the
other suit" while his regular one is
being pressed,
The idea has much to commend it.
Our present-day habiliments are

drabness is hardly ever illumined by
a distinctive color -note, and in con-
sequence we are daily losing some-
thing of the joy of living.
It would appear to be a move in
the right direction, for instance, that
a grocer should wear colors that
bieud with the general color -tone of
his shop. A jeweller one would ex-

tones, that would harmonize with the

ed so close I could
have touched them as they dashed
along.
Then the woods seemed to be alive
with scurrying small animals ail rush-
ing down to the shore. Ancient ene-
mies ran together—grudges and racial
fears forgotten—and a score of little
furry things one never sees by day,
came out of their hiding places and
made for the water lino.
It was quite useless to try- and go
around the fire in either direction—
we must have a raft. There was
plenty of time now for it would take
the fire some time to reach us from
any direction. I casually set about
getting through logs to build one.
Of a sudden Scottie cocked his ear.
I listened, too—and sure enough' it
was the drone of a motor,. Before long
We could see the plane, and in a few
minutes it was spiraling down to make
a landing in the lake. You see, it was
an amphibian plane that lands either
on the ground or on the water.
It hit the water with a "splash,"
"splash;" and taxied slowly up to us.
There was good old Bob from the air-
drome—and maybe he didn't look good.
As you can see, there is just a hint
of a peplum in this effective little
dress of printed crepe silk which
makes it especially lovely for the
youthful figure.
And it uses plaiting, too, a favorite
trim of Paris this season.
Don't you love the becoming neck-
line? And it's so comfy, too. The
short sleeves repeat the pleated trim.
The slightly shaped skirt is the
cutest idea ever with inset inverted
plaits each side of the front, topped
by real pockets.
It's sportive! And it's so useful.
It can travel in the best of circles.
And to make it! Just try it, and
you'll want to make another, per-

interior Found Plundered
The temple door, blocked with a.
wooden panel, was' still in place, but
it was later ascertained -that the in-
terior
nterior had been plundered about the
fourth century B.C. Bodies had been
carelessly thrown on the ground of
the first chamber.On the east and
west sides were loculi, one of which
was empty, while the other contained
a roughly mummified body.
In the debris were found statuettes
of seraphs and Isis and two necklaces.
Further clearance brough to light ,a
porch with Ave. steps and a stone al-
tar similar to that 'of Petosiris in that
it was surrounded by four triangular
stones.
Further excavations revealed pillars
of the temple .bearing the name Pady-
Kam, grandson of Petosiris. This
temple is believed to have been ruined
in the Roman period because of the
large number of Roman coffins strewn
about the floor.
Although the temple was found to
be badly ruined, it was possible to lay,
bare its contours and to recover the
ground plans. There remain some
sculptures and colored stones with
hunting scenes which must have be-
longed to the chapel. A pit contained
four plundered Egyptian stone sar-
cophagi uninscribed, oriented north
and south, and also six Roman sar-
cophagi oriented east .and west, and
some poorly wrapped bodies thrown on
the ground but having fine plaster
masks. Coins found there seem to
date from the plundering of the temple
to the beginning of the second cen-
tury

Within the stone sarcophagi were
fragments of, wooden coffins belonging
to a priest et Thoth, oe Dhut-Iu, priest
of Hermopolis, Pady-Iiam, and to Tot-

South of the temple on a hill was un-

discovery is of great interest because
it reveals sdme of the history of Egyp-

Most of them have two stories, one
for the tread and the other for visitors.
The upper story is composed of a log-
gia flanked by columns, which are
round in white -washed brick or stuc-
coed and ornamented with wavy lines.
Before each house was a mud -brick
altar. The court of the loggia was
sometimes adorned with scenes of
hunting antel"pe and fishing for dolph-
ins. The first two rooms were painted
to imitate m0t'ble and further adorned
with painted flowers or geometrical
designs.
