White embroidered linen frocks for very young girls are always beautiful and always appropriate, but the average woman regards them as outside her means. A very good plan is to buy an embroider- ed centerpiece, not of the heavy white Boon variety, but the kind known as Japanese embroidery, covered with a design including baskets or bouquets of flowers. Having acquired this, some ma- terial mist be purchased to match, as nearly as possible, the founda- tion of the centerpiece, and a few yards of valenciennes insertion or French beading. Tho front of the waist and skirt may then be cut from the centerpiece, choosing, as near as possible, a eomplete por- tion of the design, said these may be set into the material with a band of insertion or beading. What- ever is left of the centerpiece may be used to trim the sleeves, which are finished with the insertion or beading, and a very handsome, hand -embroidered gown is made at little cost and almost no trouble. The material used on each side of the design may he finely tucked and the model for the dress may be em- pire or plain, to suit the taste of the mother. It is better, though, to arrange for a break in the waist- line, for the two designs will be de- tached in any case. A pretty belt to wear with this frock is a boned girdle of Dresden ribbon or of the softest ivory radium silk. As both dresses described above are of such sheer materials, a white taffeta slip should be worn under them, but if this is not procurable, the usual fluffy skirts will look very well with the white embroidered frock; while for the scrim dress a slip made of flowered dimity and finished in many ruffles would be charming. For summer wear a few slips made of white longcloth or nein- sok and two of dimity or lawn would be very useful, and it is bet-, ter to make them now than to wait until later in the season when the new styles are settled and summer gowns must be made, For the very young girl no selec- tion of material could be better for this season than a bright gingham made to wear with a guimpe. The latter, by the way, will take a most important place in summer gowns for both mother and daugh- ter, and they might as well be made now. They must be of batiste, French nainsook or lawn, trimmed with va- lenciennes, insertion or hand tucks and seam beading; while a few of them will be made of all-over em- broidery or flowered lawns. The newest colors are strong in tones, and are either very. becoming or quite the opposite. Lines of black serve to tone down the vividness of many of the new materials. They are applied in stripes, in scutache and in lustrous braids, outlined with hand -braided strands of heavy twisted silks. Butterfly bows have been worn ever since stiff collars returned to popular favor, but an entirely new wrinkle is the butterfly bow of brown leather or kid. The great advantage of the innovation lies in the fact that it does not wilt, what ever the number of bargain sales the wearer may have attended dur- ing a morning's shopping, and it looks well in contrast to the snowy linen collar. As for cleaning, any harness po- lish will do the work, or, if the bow is kid, gasoline is cheap and ef- fective, though great care must be taken while the explosive is in usa. A feature of all the new skirts is the panel effect in the front and back. In many skirts the front panel extends above the waist line and forms a portion of the girdle, These panels give a perfectly smooth fit and are universally be- coming. Elaborate braiding is seen on many of the newest models, the nar- row soutache being the most popu- lar, Braiding, combined with heavy embroidery, Is particularly effec- tive on broadcloth or velvet. The young man was leaning on the garden -gate chatting with the object of his affections when the latter said, hesitatingly :-- I'I am going to ask a great favor of you."

"'You're sure that you won't think it presumptuous or forward of me?" "Never," ho answered. "I glory in this evidence of your trust and confidence, Only tell me whet 1 eon do for you."

If Every Farmer Knew THE TORTURES WOMEN SUFFER flan be Relieved by Keating the Blood Supply Rich With Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. A woman needs a blood building medicine regularly just because she is a woman. From maturity to middle life, the health and happi- ness of every woman depends upon her blood, its richness and its re- gularity. If her blood is poor and watery she is weak, languid, pale and nervous. If her blood supply is irregular she suffers from head- aches, backaches, sidoaches and the other unspeakable distress which only women know, Some wo- men have grown to expect this suffering at regular intervals and to bear it in hopeless silence. But women would escape mach of this misery if they took a box or two of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to help them over each critical period. These Pills actually make new blood. They help a woman just when nature makes the greatest demand upon her blood supply. They have done this for thousands of women throughout Canada, why not for youl Mrs, Joseph Kinney, Gilbert's Cove, N. S., says :—"For ten years L suffered from netv..ousne ss and those trdubles that make the lives of so. many women one of almost constant misery. At times I would be confined to my beet for weeks. I spent sleepless nights and seemed to lose a]1 courage. I tried sever- al doctors, but they failed to give me any relief. The last doctor I consulted told me frankly that he could not undertake my case un- less I would undergo an examina- tion. It was then I decided to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. After taking six boxes I was much improved in health, but I continued to take the Pills for a couple of months more when I felt like a nc-v woman, and was enjoying such health as I had not experienced for ten years before. I have had no return of this trouble since, but I have used the Pills once since that time for the after effects of la grippe and the result was all I hoped for. These are plain facts from my own experience and I have always felt that I cannot too strong- ly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to the many women who suf- feras I slid " You can get these Pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six. boxes for $2,50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont.

IfSS'UE NO. 31--68, CLOCII: FEEDS HORSES. English llicrellant Invents Ingenious Contrivance. A provision merchant in Oldham, England, has invented an ingenious contrivance by which he is able to feed his horses without personal attendance through the medium of an alarm clock. In a small office adjoining the stable the clock is placed on a shelf. Attached to the winding key is a piece of copper wire, and this is fastened to a small brass roller that runs over a wooden rod. At the end cf the rod is a heavy weight. When the clock goes off the wheel is drawn over the rod and releases the weight, which falls to the floor. The corn box is filled over night, and when the weight is released a small door at the bottom of the box flips open and the corn falls into the manger. The horses never fail to rise at the sound of the alarm, knowing what is to follow and when the drivers turn up the animals are ready to be harnessed, .q. A CONTEST WORTH ENTIERING.
