by the Federal government in that
people pay it without realizing that

sentimentailty in Dress.

Flowers upon clothing are sym.
Dol of the tyranny I'm which women
are held" said Nj. Van dc Velde. a
Belgian artist. who lecturcd in Vienna
recently. In the opinion of NJ. Van
de Nelde. the uniform attire Of men
at dinner or public function ex-
presses more beauty than does the
hit-and-miss effect OF the women's
costumes. The mixed colors of the
present gowns. he said. destroy the
rhythmical line OF beauty and create
only color dissonance. IL women
would adopt the idea OF n uniform
toilet they would soon accustom
themselves 20 il. The floral designs
so frequent upon women's clothing
are the consequence OF trivial senti
mentality and result from the habit
of likening women 10 flowers.
Clothing should fulfil the laws of
logic and reason. and should cover,
not conceal. This. Nj. Van de Vclde
declared, Is forgotten by present day
tailors. who smother the figure in n
cloud OF puffs, bows. fiounces and
pleats. all producing the effect of n
formless mass. Perfection I'm costume
must combine. he said. both health
and beauty.

NIaddened by Solitude.

The Canadian northwest is n proba-
tionary haven for wealthy young
Englishmen OF nomadic instincts.
Hundreds OF them annually purchase
hunting and camping outfits from the
Hudson Bay Company and strike into
the barren lands to prospect for min
erals or take up land on the prairies.
But most often they return to the
civilization of the towns with nothing
but hard words for the wilderness.
The construction of the Temiscam-
ing Railroad induced the younger son
of one wealthy English family to take
a trip into that outlandish district He
returned to Ottawa q disappointed
man. It's the most desolate country
you can imagine" he said to his
friends. Il have been out prospecting
sometimes for whole day without
seeing a sign of animal life. Once
the only living thing / came across
was a bird. and it was so Disguised
that it was trying to knock Its brains

knowing what to do with such n small
amount OF money she wandered about
the city for n week or two looking ut
things. One day she saw the women
crowding the life out OF one another
mt n bargain counter sale OF skirts
and she got an idea. she let Il develop
for day or so and then invested $3.50
OF her savings in silk skirts that were
destined for the bargain counter They
were crumpled and looked faded and
tired, but she took them ns they were
mt small prices and carried them TO
her rooms. There she ironed them out
till they looked like new and then
went out in the suburban towns TO
sell them. She found ready purchas-
ers ut good prices and came back for
more. These she made as good as
new and had no trouble In dsposlng
OF her stock
"A few days later she bought "A fresh
supply of skirts and also added shirt
waists. When these had been sold out
she next began buying shop-worn
silks, remnants and that kind of
stock and gradually increased her ter
ritory and having somebody to do the
renovating while she was attending

business has prospered to such an ex-
tent that she now employs twenty per-

dren are at a private school, she sup

substituted with perfect correctness.
The under or foundation cape is

shoulders and is trimmed with the
four tiny bias frills. The outer cape
is shorter and plain about the edge
and is trimmed with the lace applique

with a single frill. At the neck Is q

As 1t is the function OF the leucocytes

The woman who has mo time for
relaxation and systematic exercise
is precisely the woman who most
needs to take 1t. Rest. exercise, diet,
amusement and work are of equal i'm
portance In the vast scheme of liv-
ing. If one would live sanely, that is.
BEAUTIFULLY. The old saying. "All
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy" is perfectly true. and that all
play and no work has the same effect
is equally correct. 1t is the wise ad.
justment of the proportion of each
that makes for health.
Il geS all the exercise / need in go
ing about my household duties, -
many women assert, but that is the
greatest mistake possible. Under or
binary circumstances n few sets of
muscles are called into activity, and
the mind, at the same time, is fully
occupied. For physical exercise to
be helpful, the mind should be at
rest. A walk of twenty minutes du-
ration in the open air is an absolute
daily necessity. and should be at a
reasonably brisk pace. Deep breath
ing should be practiced on these
walks, until IL becomes n fixed habit.
A good plan Is to inhale slowly while
taking seven steps. then exhale dur
ing seven. The mental application
soon ceases TO be necessary, and the
walker almost unconsciously breathes
IN this way. Deep breathing is help
.ul In cases of insomnia also.

In life their chosen goal
1hey seek to I'LL, with half the will.
a plan that needs the whole.
They sow the seed on mount and mead.
And wait to see it spread;
turned.
The elod upon its head.
They waste in play the light OF day.
knowing that there will come.
At even-fau, the welcome call
To eat the unearned crumb
Thus down the tide of life they glide.
In poverty and pain
Leaving undone. from sun to sun.
The things that lead to gain.
But when the last lone hope is past,t
No more to light their way:
And all is lost-they learn the cost
OF doing things halfway.
