An easy way to gain a bewitch- ing. shimmer en an embroidered chiffon gown. is this : Embroider the pattern in very bright silks of heavy strand and in sharply ton- trasting colors. Then cut pieces of chiffen to cover each bib.. of em- broiclery and outline them, with '' heavy rope silk in a dark shade of the eglor of the chiffon. The bright colors seen through the chiffon, shimmer and glisten in a most at- tractive way. A beautiful imported chiffon evening gown of yellow, ;with a panel in the front of the skirt of purple, showed a border about the top of the straight flounce on the skirt. of bright peacock .col- ored embroidery, masked with yel- low chiffon sewed on with golden yellow rope silk. One of the new all black hats shows a double brim of straw. A pleating of tulle is fattened be- tween the two pieces of the brim, which meet firmly on each side of the tulle frill. The frill stands out, or rather falls, about an inch be- yond the edge of the straw brim, and the only other decoration to /the hat is a big, stiff black silk bow. The way to describe the manner in which belts are now warn is to say that they are hung about the waist. ,.This description is quite correct. Many of the belts actually are hung. They are fastened at the waist line for a few inches in front and hang down at the back. This method of wearing the belt gives a strange downward and back- ward slope to the figure which is seen in many of the lately imported gowns from Paris. Feather decorations for straw hats in modified sailor shape are made up of a band of fine ostrich feather joined with a buckle of the same feather. They are made in tan and blue and other colors and are effective for morning hats of " white or black straw. If you want to gain the up -spring- ing collar effect seen. on so many of the new French models -imitate it with a strip of frilling or ruch- ing. A piece of stiff net frilling. can be fastened about the coat cel- lar of the linen suit to form a smart nish, It should be fastened i ht` ii • in . th back and i On , ce trio seen.

Another, a French model, is made in combin- ation with allover eyelet em'broid- . ery. There is a white linen skirt, and wide embroidery is used to . form a tunic, extending below the knees in back, gradually shortening toward the front and entirely eut away at one side, This tunic is gathered into the belt. There is it panel of the embroidery on both the back and front of the sleeve- less linen bodice, and embroidery forms the three-quarter length sleeves. Picture frame veils are appre- ciated by women who wear face veils for motoring, yachting and other forms of outdoor recreation. They are made with a square or oblong of plain silk mesh, sur- rounded with „a figured border and figured mesh to complete the rest of the veil. They are of silk and are very carefully and well made. iSomctimes' they. are thrown over the hat instead of worn over 'the . face. Stirring News. Little Peter after listening at- tentively to a lesson on kindness to animals, went home to dinner very thoughtful; when he returned to school in the afternoon, he wenttup to 'his teacher, obsiolisly having -striking news to impart, "Well, Peter," she exclaimed, "what is it l" "I just 'wanted to tell you, teed—lora how I was good to dumb animals this morning," he replied. "Why, isn't that nice, Peter? What did you do?"

Many.theories ; are being plat forward to explain the•" situa- tion, It is said, for example, that there is a greet laxly of Unionist ftee Traders who, in elections, when there is no chance of defeating the Government, vote Union. 1st, but who, in a general election, when there is a chance of electing a Protection- ist Government, vote Liberal. This does not explain all the recent results and it looks ace though the Marconi scandals, in- volving in a very indirect way Mr. Lloyd George, the great standby of the Liberal party, have been having an effect on the electorate, for the Irish the, great slues tion is whether the Government will bold together until Home Rule has been put into effect as it may be within a year from now. But politics in England have a habit of changing with such kaleidosco- pic rapidity that anything may happen in a. year Goldwin Smith's Letters. considerable furors in literary and Po itical circles has been caused by the publication lication of a volume of letters by the late Professor Goldwin Smith. The vol- ume is edited by Mr. Arnold Hauitain who for mealy years previous to Mr, Gold - win d asecre- tary, acted privatese tdae t •y, and was by the will appointed lit- erry executor. Some time ago Mr. Haul- ta n published ,a volume of Reminiscences which was, however; disappointing because of the trivial character of the work. The present volume is also disappointing to admirers of the late "rage of the Grange,' butfor a different reason. It is disappoint- ing. . because.'.i•t seems to reveal Goldwin Smith as a narrow, bitter partisan who found the times out of joint, who mis- trusted most men's motives and did not hesitate to attack his contemporaries with 6i terness and virulence. Mr. Haultain declares that these are the letters "of a truly great man who saw very far and whose solutions of all prob- lems were derived from an intellect il- lumined with 'lumen siccnm' which is all toorare," which prompts one reviewer to remark "to consider Goldwin Smith as a great man, even an eminent man, is to give place to an amiable superstition On the whole, Goldwin Smith's reputation ha not been enhanced since his death. It had to be remembered, however, that he m de many bitter enemies who have not yetceased their activities. Exaggerated Stories of Evil. A l ub t m h u al a i h e m m u u s t nT t r m m m e v O h made Many newspaper readers must have been impressed during the past few years with the tremendous amount of stuff which is being printed concerning the grosser forms of vice, particularly that which is known as the White Slave Traffic. All sorts of organizations have been stirred to take up the subject, all of them no doubt with the best intentions. It may be stated in emphatic terms that a great proportion of the stories which are printed concerning this evil are en- tirely imaginary. There are probably few newspaper editors who have not had brought to their offices manuscript pur- porting to relate life incidents in connec- tion with this' matter which, without doubt, had their genesis solely 'n -the brain of the writer. From time figures are given out concerning Ing off under violence of women. May one be pe also the authenti urea? Perhaps w Traffic does e which has Th up arou absohi law make . nywhere who is not, perfectly willing to take whatever steps are ne- cessary without any furore or campaign being made about it. The thing that seems to be most needed is the inculcation into the home of good morals and good sense with frequent iteration of the simple warning that "who plays with fire is apt to get burnt." However, with many persons discussion of the subject seems to be a mania, and it looks as though a campaign of pub- licity had not yet run its course. Ontario Bye•eiactions, unusual interest is being taken in the bye -elections which are shortly ,to take place in North Grey and in South Bruce, the former to elect a representative to the Legislature to replace Memorable A. G. MacKay and the latter to fill the va- cancy in the Mouse of Commons caused by the elevation of Senator Donnelly. South Bruce is interesting to politicians because they think it will give them a line on what. rural Ontario 'thinks about" the Naval. Issue" and North_ Grey is in- teresting because it . is the seene of his- toric conflicts. Liberals are afraid that the departure of Mr. MacKay will result in a considerable weakening of their forceso in that riding. The fact that both candidates 'are Temperance advocates may prevent the' "Abolish the Bar" issue from being presented by a clear cut fashion. sa i+ Clay vA ter. o,7 TYPE OF ARMOREp.Marla(IR HEING ADOPTED FOR THE BRITISH ARMY. quently, always in the most xreoisa :Bug-' lisp and always to the point, It might be added that he is always partisan.'

Blake, who has but recently re- covered from a somewhat severe.. illness. had lost a great deal of the bitterness which sometimes on previous'-+.e.icaeions cropped out. Reporters have general In- structions to keep a sharp 1, tiiout for everything Mr. Blake says, because he has throueh long years built ups a reputation of saying things that makegood coley. The Anglican Church suffere•-Zama the division into high and low elasereh parties. Mr. Blake is the great champion of the low Church party, He is the main pillar of St. PauI's,.. •of whtoh Archdeacon Cody is 'the. Rector. This is sufficient to ident- ify Mr. Cody with the low .Church. •party, though it is doubtful if he ie as extreme as is his patron. On the high Church side the leader is Provost lInckaew, 'the head of Trinity College, Despite ramb- lings, however, the conflict between high and low Church was this year compar- atively tame.

On account of the great number of Church conventions recently Ontario daily papers have resembled Church publications almoilt more than secular prints. The Presbyterian Assembly, the Baptist Con- vention, the Anglican synods, the Metho. dist Conferences and the Congregational Union all demanded their share of pub- licity, and for a time the sporting page had to look for its laurels., as the centre of attraction, An English visitor who attended some of the sessions of the Presbyterian Assem- bly and some of the Methodist Confer- ences told me that he was astounded at the uncompromising attitude of these churches, whieh he considered fairly typ- ical of,what would be described in Eng- land as non -conformist denominations. lie was particularly impressed with the rigid, ity of the views expressed towards the liquor trafi.c. lie was almost horrified to Ond that, the opinion was expressed and applauded that not merely the .manufae- turers and the dispensers of liquor were sinners of the blackest dye, but that the moderate drinker was also denounced. It was regarded as impossible for a man to be a Christian and Indulge in liquor in any degree. To this English visitor this was a novel point of view. At the Synod meetings he said he found a somewhat Softer temper. The atmos• phare here was not quite so unrelenting. In fact, delegates, lay and clerical, were frequently to be soap slipping out of the meeting to enjoy a quiet emoke at the back of the church. The great outstanding figure in the local Synod is Hon, S.

The notion that meat is necessary for real strength and the ' founda- tion of solid flesh is now no longer as prevalent as formerly. Excessive meat eaters are usually sluggish a part of the time because they are not able to fully digest their food, and the undigested por- tion is changed into what: is practi- cally a kind of poison . that acts upon the blood wird nerves, thus getting all through the system. "I was a heavy meat eater,". writes a Westernmari, "and up to two years ago, was in very poor health. I suffered with indigestion so that I only weighed 95 ,founds. "Then I heard about Grape -Nut, food and decided to try it. My wile laughed at .me at first, but when I gained to 125 pounds and felt iso fine, she thought she would eat Grape -Nuts too. Now she is fat and well and has gained 40 pounds. We never have indigestion any more and seldom feel the desire for meat. "A neighbor of ours, 68 years old, was troubled with indigestion for years, and was a heavy meat cater. Naw since he has been eat ing Grape -Nuts regularly, he sas's -??e is well and never has indiges- tion. "I could name, a lot of persons who have rid themselves of indiges tion by ;changing from a heavy meat diet to Grape -Nuts." " here',s a Reason." Name given by Canadian Postern Windsor, Ont. .

' Cherries are the first of the fruits of the summer—the first, that is, of the. fruits 'of the summer trees. Plums, pears and peaches are still served: only in the feasts of dream- land.when cherries are ripe. Hence they are generally greeted with an enthusiasm not bestowed en any. of the later fruits_ Cherries served fresh and cold on their own stems for breakfast are so delicious that no other way of serving them at that meal could be better. But pitted and sprinkled with sugar and a bit of Iemon juice, they serve as an appetizer and at the same time lose none of their delicate flavor. Another way of pre- paring them for breakfast is to pit them and mix them with sugar— in the proportion of half a cupful to a pint of cherries—and cook them until they are just tender. Then pour them over buttered toast. Cherry soup has been made, but it could hardly be more than the result of an effort to serve cherries in a new and unexpected way. How- ever, at every course save the soup course cherries -can be legitimately served. • Cherry cocktails are made in this. ayw:s Stone ripe, cherries, chop them 'fine, add .a tablespoonful of lcmaon jmee to each -cupful of cher- ries, nweet, p them , • to taste and. (care •ti "ui, either in covktail glass - lee :orelse in lemon • skin' cups, -made by removing part of ,one side of a sufficient number of lemons, cutting a bit of the rind from the other side, removing all the pulp and juice and washing and chilling the shells. Cherries served with French toast can 'be used as an entree. To make them out rings Half an inch thick from bread and soak them in beaten egg yolk, milk, a, little sugar and a pinch of salt. Roll the bread rings in. crumbed bread and maca- roons and brown, them in butter. Stew ripe cherries with sugar enough to sweeten them, drainand pile in the middle of a dish. Sur- round them with the juice of the cherries thickened with " a little cornstarch and flavored with or- ange juice. Cherryfritters can be served with. meat as a separate course or as des- !art. essert. To hake thein, prepare a bat- ter of a cupful of flour,'a teaspoon - lel of ' baking, powder mixed with a, tablespoonful of melted butter, a erellebeaten egg and enough water to make.; a thin batter. Stew ripe, pitted cherries; until - they - are ,just leader—but do not cook them to piece's—and sweeten them. Drain them and add them to the batter. Drop "it in spoonfuls into deep fat and fry brown. The juice drained from the -cherries can be substituted for water to moisten the fritter bat - Sherbet' `and terSalad. S.our cherries are ' needed for cherry sherbet. Stone a quart of them. -In the mean time boil to- gether a quart of water and a pound of granulated sugar for 15 minutes. Adel, the cherries to the hot syrup just as it is taken from the stove and stand aside until it is perfectly cold: Strain through a fine wire sieve and freeze. When you take out the dasher stir in a meringue made of the white of one egg sweet- ened with a tablespoonful of granu- lated sugar: Pack in ice for an hour or two. Cherry salad that is surprising as well as appetizing is made of pitted cherries filled with chopped nuts in the cavity made by the removal of the pit, served on crisp white let- tuce leaves and dressed with French dressing. This is one of the pret- tiest salads imaginable, if the cher- ries are bright red and the lettuce white and yellow, ae perfect lettuce hearts are. Cherry bread pudding is' a dessert which 'can be eaten by children and which is enjoyed likewise by grown- ups. To make it, spread a layer of bread crumbs in the bottom of a 'buttered baking dish and cover with a layer of stoned cherries, sugar, bits 'of bitter end a sprinkle of lemon juice. Add a layer of crumbs, another layer of cherries, and so on until the dish is full. Finish with a laYer of crumbs. Bake the pud- ding until the 'cherries are tender. If they' are juicy the pudding. will. need no moistening while baking, but if they are not jujey pour a few tablespoonfuls of water over it when it is put in the oven and add 'water to keep it from drying out as it bakes. - Serve the pudding with a sauce made of . cherries boiled in sugar and water for 10 minutes and then pressed through a sieve, Cherries can be used kr-short- cake. Make a rich biscuit short- cake, bake it in two thin, crisp lay- ers, butter each and cover over the n bottom with crushed and pitted cherries that have been generously sprinkled with sugar. Cover the top • with' whole, pitted cherries, sprinkle with sugar and serve with a sauce like that for the bread pud- ding. A Few Suggestions.• Put a damp cloth or damp nap- kin over sandwiches or bread if it is necessary to -wait before serving. The hair may be kept from com- ing out after an illness by frequent application to the scalp of sage tea. To remove a fishbone from the throat, cut a lemon in half and suck the juice slowly. This will dissolve the fishbone, and give instant re- lief. An easy and quick way -to clean pie -dishes and plates burnt in the oven is to wash them first, and then rub them with asmall piece of emery paper. When boiling old pota£oes add a little milk to the water in which they a `re boiled. This prevents them- turning dark in the cooking, and improves the flavor. After washing blankets, hang them on a line until quite dry, then beat them gently with a carpet beater. This makes them soft and fluffy-. An excellent plan before putting' one's hands in soda -water is to rub them well with a piece of mutton fat. This counteracts the bad effects of soda. To.preanwhite shoes, scrape some pipe clay; finely and -max it to *the consistency of -cream with cold wa- ter. -Brush all dust off the shoes, and rub the mixture well into them. Leave till thoroughly dry. There 'is a proper way to mix blacking. Cut the cake of blacking into small pieces, put into a saucer, and pour enough sweet 'milk to make it rather into a thick cream. Mixed in this way helps to prevent, the blacking from cracking. When making jam add a piece of butter the size -of an egg, fifteen minutes before removingthe fruit from the fire. This will ' make it look clear and prevent•it freed stick- ing to the sides of the jars.
