Since fashion decrees simplicity of line, she is especially careful of de- tail; and since the jabot is most en- thusiastically approved of by the mode, this frock of polka-dotted voile uses one effectively, fashioning it of plain contrasting color to harmonize with the semi -mannish collar. The diagram, In lower right-hand corner, pictures the simple design of this lit- tle frock, which has each side of the front slashed and gathered over the bust, creating a yoke effect, while the back is quite straight and in one piece. The jabot is made froin a straight strip of material six inches wide, having the outer edges bound or picoted, and is tacked to the under- neath side of the flat plait which cov- ers the front opening. The pattern provides long sleeves gathered into narrow wrist -bands. No. 1093 is in sizes 16, 18 and 20 years. Size 18 years requires 3%, yards figured ma-. terial; % yard plain contrasting for trimming. Price 20 cents.

Minds of Tourists in Merrie England Drawn to Royalty: What wili the 250,000 visitors from North America who are expected this year in England eatjoy most? This question was propounded by The As- sociated Press to n number of tourist agents and hotel men. "Royalty and its, trappinge," was the unhesitating answer of many of the Americans and 'Englishmen who have to do with .the tourist traffic. Kings and :Queens: and Princes and palaces have greater .fascination for Ameri- cans than for Continental visitors,. The latter, as the tourist agents say, have bed greater experience of royalty and aocept it as a matter of course.' The changing of the red -coated guards before Buckingham Palace at 10.30 every morning always attracts many strangers and the changing of the Guard at Whitehall every morning at 11 o'clock draws, even a greater crowd, London Tower, with its murderous history, Hampton Court and other pal- aces associated with .the life of Henry VIII. and his unhappy wives,have a special charm for American visitors. Even the men .and women who are but slightly versed in English history know about Anne. Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon and the other unhappy ladies who eat on the throne with hint. Museums, galleries and theatres which enable visitors to get back into the atmosphere of the Elizabethan era are most popular, especially with visit- ors coming to England for the first time, Shakespeare and Drake are so inseparably connected that they share the popularity of the Virgin Queen in the estimation of the tourists. The old Vie, with its never-ending season of Shakespeare, and the Shake- spearean Theatre at Stratford afford visitors an opportunity to seethe plays of the Bard of Avon in case the theatres in the heart of London are not offering Shakespeare, Tally -hos and old inns—in fact, any- thing which reproduces the atmos- phere of old English prints—have a great attraction for American visitors, Warwick Castle, so the tourist agents say, conies nearer, perhaps, than any other to filling the eye of Americans in search of a real castle, with wails and moats and drawbridges and armor and a banquet hall in which the Knights of the Round Table might be sitting. There is a considerable Dickens cult among the American visitors. and many of tbem are eager to visit the home of Burns and the haunts of Wordsworth and other poets in the English lake dis- trict. University folks generally want to visit Oxford and Cambridge. But the majority of American visitors give 'nest of their time to London and points within easy reach of the Britt capital. THE SLIPPER OF RED BROCADE BEGIN HERE TODAY A novelist, seeking nocturnal ad-, venture, leaves the ball room of the', Marchioness of Didinning at two l o'clock in the morning. While stand:' ing in the archway leading into Shepherd's'Mnrket he hears a woman screaming tp a dog. He is surprised'' to see a tyoman in evening dreee char -1 mg a small terrier. When he sees that the dog ie car- rying the woman's slipper in his mouth he gallantly offers to assist the lady. " And is amazed when the - wo- men addresses hint as "No. 9." Be- Mg unable to capture the dog the novelist resolves to penetrate the mys- tery, Presently several men come upon the scene and he is -blindfolded and taken to rt part of London strange to him: NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. II.. The room was entirely bare; noth- Ing whatever hung on the dirty walls. In the middle stood a long table, sur- rounded with chairs, on masked which sat a man; most of the company were smoking; one or two had before them a glass containing some liquor. At the head sat a very young man with dark eyes, who turned out latertobe an Italian, Evidently he was acting as chairman, for as we came in, and with our guards sat he stood up to welcome us: "We are glad to see you comrades," said the young man.' "I hope you did not have any diff- I eulty in getting here?" "Not at all," I said. "In fact I just ) strolled out of the ball at Drimning House. A bellow or laughter greeted the remark; one of the men seized him-; self round the waist in his apprecia, tion of the joke. "Splendid!" said the chairman. "It, is well that such of our friends as are unfortunate enough to be born among the oppressors should lull them into security until we have a chance to destroy them." "Hear! hear!" said several voices,' andI thought: "Anarchists!" There appearance; nearly all were young and 'refined of feature; the educated class made up. the majority. . Now I saw better the woman I knew as No, 5. She was young, and not only ex- quisitely dressed in her robe of flame; but exquisite in herself. The dark pools of her eyes were fixed upon the speaker; the nostrils of the delicate nose moved with excitement, and the lovely red • lips were parted upon per- fect teeth, white small hands on: the table delicately played with a gold. bag. It was inconceivable, incredible, that a' creature of such fawn -like grace should be concerned in such an affair. Suddenly the chairman's tone changed: "Comrades, pardon the en- thusiasm which makes me talk of these things. You know them as well as I, and just now we are wasting time. It has been: arranged, as you know, that the removal is to be done this time by..the F. -Committee, two of whose delegates are with us now. We should not be concerned if it were not that the tyrant is at • present liv- ing in our administrative district. Therefore our own committee must concur in the action of the'F. Com- mittee." 1 giggled to myself, for I under. stood. Evidently anarchism was con- ducted on the best lines of the Civil Service; evidently, a resident in a par- ticular district could not be"removed" without proper notification being given to ,the committee of that dis- trict. But then, Civil Service habits' get into every activity. "Therefore," the chairman went ori, "the position is that No. 5'attd No. 9, having drawn the lots, it is for us to co-operate with them in the re- moval of the Emperor of Berengaria. I hear, comrades, that the 'person in question is a most estimable gentle- man, with a large family, whose chief occupation in life is to collect butter- flies." utter flies." There was a chorus of laugh- ter and hisses. "These details are by the way. What we have to consider is how the removal shall be arranged.

The Italian I did not understand, but scraps of converse-' tion from the Germans filled me with'' horror and excitement: "0f course it was his own fault. Nitrocellulose is not much use. Well, I don't know; it's true that good old-fashioned dyn- amite still works well...." Another couple were speaking: "Of course I don't mind hanging for it. I'd knife the emperor myself if the lot fell to tire. . . . Shooting? Oh, no, too un-' certain. Much too uncertain." I As I listened, I felt that this time I had put my nose into something that I should have done better to let alone. But it was too late, for the young Italian, rapping vigorously on the table, was already enforcing or- der: "Comrades," he said, in, a loud tone, "a little silence, please, for the: two members of the F. Committee." He turned to one of oar guards: "You took the numbers?" "Yes, comrade." He turned to us: "No. 5, and No, 9. Which is which, please?" "I am No. 5," said the lady. "You're No. 9?" said the chairman. "Yes," I said in a faint voice." Thereupon the chairman began a short spee h, which at first I follow ed, and with which by degree I grew bored, as he recited the old-fashioned anarchistand nihilist. sentiments of Bakunin, -Czolgosz. and Luccheni, Raveling his hair, his eyes flashing, he whipped. the enthusiasm of, his hearers by denunciatlone of the pow- erful, and threats of vengeance by knife and bomb.,. Meanwhile I was observing. None of the men were looking' at me; they took it as natural that I should wear the costume of my wa.k in life, as- sured that T wound do the work of the committee to which I' was supposed. to belong.

One of the young men stood up and reported: "Having been engaged at Mivart's as a waiter, I obtained ac- cess to the room of the tyrant at breakfast time. I regret to say that the suite is on the second floor. A waterspout runs along his bedroom window, aad I should not recommend it, except for a very athletic person. The fire escape, however, leads to the window of the secretary's room, an elderly lady; beyond this is the bed- room of the aide-de-camp. It would be quite simple to remove the secre- tary, then the aide-de-camp, and to gain access to the bedroom in ques- tion." "Thank you," said the chairman. "All the same, .I am not greatly in favor of these bedroom removals; you will recall that when we removed the Prince of Alsatia it was thought that here was a private revenge. That is very poor propaganda. I will take the report of No, 8." No. 8 reported thathe was in charge. of the watch by night on the move- ments of the Emperor of Berengaria. These were very unpromising since his majesty lived an exemplary life. Since his arrival he had attended classical concerts, or Shakespearean plays; after taking . a glass of hot milk, he went to bed early. Question- ed as to whether it would be any use introducing a female comrade into the imperial circle, No, 8 shook his head sadly. That kind of attempt had for many years been made with- , out ith,out any success by ladies of the court. !The Emperor was much attached to his consort; in font, in Berengaria, one of their amusements was to make pancakes together in the imperial kitchen. "All this is very unsatisfactory," remarked the chairman, "but I es:- ,peoted as Bruch. It is perfectly clear that the removal will have to take place by day, end in the open. I pre- surae that is agreeable to the com- rades .from the F. Committee?" "Oh, quite," said the beautiful No. 5. "So long as the tyrant is removed, I air setie'fied." "Then," said the chairman, "since l have received already the -report of No. 2,'I may tell you that the Em- peror et Berengaria rides every morn- ing in the park before breakfast, which he takes at half -pest nine.

' "I may point out," said one of the mernherc, jumping up, "that I have ascertained that the Imperial Beton- garian Guard do not carry adamant - tion, because some years ago, in Ber- engaria, a nervous -trooper let off his rifle into a window, thus waking up a chilli which cried, • much to the 'dis- composure of the Emperor." - "That. may be," said the 'chairman.

As if fluttering from the inside of a fairy tree , in the half-light of early summer evening,large white moths hover over the pallid sweet peas of the garden. These pa-pit:one-de nuit come into the still evening air, as if released by magic at a certain hour. Asleep all day, concealed lathe gray- ish bark of trees, they have now come to wave and flutter and dance as light. ly as theylmay with their wings laden with 'such heavy white velvet 'dust.

They" were disposed of at satis- factory Tripes and, in general, the in- formation gathered substantiated the belief held by m the Department that a market for such "lightweight rang bred horses exists in Europe. The ship. menet was a pioneer and an expert meut, and as :such disclosed many in- teresting facts' which will -simplify the handling of other shipments which, it is hoped, will follow.- It has been esti- mated that there are many . hood of ' light -weight horsea roaming the ranges of Western. Canada which could be capitalized by shipping to Turope. A •June despatch from Calgary states; "What may be the last wild 'horse roundup in Alberta is now in pro - geese in the stretches of territory bee - tween Medicine Hat and Standard and between the Bow andPed Dter rivers, The animals that are caught are check- ed over; those that, are 'useful are kept; those that are not are destroyed. ,, First Shipment Hotee Flesh. Whilst 'the Dominion `"Live Stock Branch does not believe, for various economic reasons, -that• any great volume Of trade in horse flesh can be built up with Europe at' the present time, different hopes would' seem to 'be entertained by the Province of Al- berta.'` Some time ago 'the Provincial Minister of Agriculture received a re- quest from the Minister of Agriculture in Belgium for a sample shipment of horse flesh, and recently a trial strip• rent of two tons of the frozen pro- duct was despatched, to Brussels. A shipment has likewise been sent to. Japan, where a potential market is be- lieved to exist. There is a confident feeling that in dile manner a satisfac- tory and profitable method of d:spos- ing of scrub horses may thus be de- veloped. Despite the wide introduction of the automobile throughout Canadian rural districts and the general adoption of Mechanical devices in agrlcultural pursuits, Canada, particularly in the Western provinces, has been making great progress he the horse industry, Dot alone in developing numbers but in lmpeeving. quality. The steady im- portation of the finest animals Mang able has resulted in such an improve• ment of stock that, - instead of the range -bred' cow ponies which once floodel the country, Western Canadian horses are cons•Istent winners at in- ternational exhibitions. Shipments to Many Points. YG_t,,fi:ospite the factors already noted, and the steady parcelling up of the range into smaller farms, there are more horses in Canada than ever. At the end of 1926 there were„3,554,041; horses in the Dominion with a value of $245,764,000. Saskatchewan owned.'•. approximately one-third of these, or 1,169,963, Alberta following with 849,- 939, and Ontario was third with 644,- 138. Manitoba hall 358,839 head of horses, so that•the three Prairie Pro- vinces rovinces owned together 2,249,730 head, almost two-thirds of the: Dominion's to- tal. Saskatohewan has an average of about eight horses per farm. The quality of the 'horses in this .province is likewise outstanding.

Western Canada annually%'supplies Pastern Canada with quantities. of horses, thousands. having been trans fecred every year for some time past, and this movement is expected to con- tinue`. In addition .there is a steady market iii the united Status and one developing, overseas, Western Canada, which Inas steadily .imported from Scot- land for so long, is now shipping ani: mals to that country.' Shipments of Clydesdale and Percheron draft horses have been made to Glasgow, and' these, 11 is' expected; will be continued. 'Other markets for Canadian.. horses are the United Kingdom, Bermuda, and New- foundland.
