his in mixed teams. When her school days are over the Canadian girl doesn't lay down her lacrosse stick or her tennis rac- quet. Instead, she adds to her athletic &C., complisments-takes up golf, canoeing, and has even been known to take up polo She IS generally good shot, always a good horse-woman and knows how to catch a trout without soaring him to death
 Girls are also trained in military tactics. and at Guelph, Ontario, there is a military schooi for young women, which has become famous institution. The girls receive regular military discipline and wear a uni- form consisting of short skirt, the regu- lation Rritish military coat with gilt braid and buttons and a cadets cap. Classes from this school have given exhibition drills Tn most Of the cities of the dominion. Win ter sports, which are the great feature of Canadian outdoor life, are all followed by women. Snowshoeing is one of the oldest Of the winter sports, although in the very early days of the country it was not prac- ticed as an amusement, but as the only means of travel in the winter Canadian snowshoers have inherited very generally their ancestors skill, and the women as well as the men are swift and graceful in the use of snowshoes. Snowshoeing clubs, with their club houses, are found in every village in the whole dominion. These serve double purpose club members using the house and grounds for golf in the summer and fall and for snowshoe runs and meets in the winter.
 Skating and tobogganing and the great carnivals that go with these sports have always been enjoyed and participated in by the Canadian women as freely as by the men Canadian women have shown good sense in the matter of dressing for athletic diversions. Grace as we'll as agility is al- ways kept in view, and clumsiness and awkwardness is regarded as unpardon- able. It would be difficult to find a more picturesque costume than the blanket coat, With bright scarf and hood and the gaily colored woolen cap6t. For skating in the ice rinks, except at carnival time, when only the maskers are admitted, there is more variety in dress. The long fur driv- ing cloaks and the tall fur caps called czars are seen as frequently as the bright colored snow costumes.

Suggestions For Keeping
The Home Cool

The heated term is trying season for the stay-at-home housekeepsr. Household duties, always more or less burdensome, become more so during the summer time, and yet few women understand the art of lessening their responsibilities. Wise housekeepers discard the heavy draperies, carpets and cumbersome furniture, and choose instead a furnishing that is more suitable for the heated season. What boon to the housekeeper to be able to dis pense even temporarily with the dust col lecting material! One can hardly realize how refreshing a barely furnished room Is on hot, dusty day.
 One wise little woman points with pride to her almost bare walls and lack of use less ornaments. She explains, however that she has boxes of pretty things stored away but as she takes a short trip to the country with her husband each week, re- maining from Saturday until Monday, she does not care to trust her valuable bric-a- brac to an inexperienced maid. She pack ed away for the summer everything that was merely ornamental.
 And you have no idea," she adds "how cool and inviting the house looks when we return home from the country, dusty and tired.'
 A model summer home Is one, to begin with, that has hardwood floor, either stained or painted. The stained is, of course, the prettier, and can be made very attractive by the aid of center mating, which, from a hygienic point of view, makes an ideal covering of either summer or winter.
 Brass and enameled bedsteads are both healthful and easily cared for substitutes for the heavy hardwood ones, which are dust-collecting and uncomfortable looking on a hot night For similar reason the rattan, bamboo and wicker chairs and couch should be generally used.
