A gown without a cape Of some sort is
a gown incomplete. In some form or an

scarcely more than deep collars, for a

STARVED FOUR DAYS.
Young Canadian. Robinson crusoes


A couple of young Canadians had an
accident to their canoe and were left
upon a small uninhabited island for four
DAYS before help came during which
time they had nothing TO eat but a
couple of packages of Grape-Nuts.
In telling the story one of them SAYS
"There was quite a party Of ~, and we
prepared to spend a Jolly TIME hunting
in Muskoka. I provisioned the party and
among other supplies laid in a--staelr of
Grape-Nuts food of which ! am very
fond.
zone day we left camp to paddle to the
nearest steamer landing II miles away.
Just as we pushed off, one of our com
panions threw into the canoe two pack
ages of Grape-Nuts and a can of con-
densed milk saying, Leave these at
Vernes with our compliments, they were
wishing they had some yesterday" We
had gone about half the distance when it
began to blow, the Lake becoming very
rough, so we turned our frail boat toward
a small island and padded with all our
might to gain this shelter. Heavy rain
began to fall and we drove the boat
ashore with more haste than caution and
in doing so struck a sunkeu log and tore
a Ky h0AA Al AAAA AAEAAA AAAA0NH We
scrambled ashore and hauled the boat
up after us and a nice plight we were in.
I'VE were on a small island of about a
quarter of an acre and out of the track of
steamers; a hole foot long in our boat
with neither tools nor materials to repair
it; no shelter except some big trees and
our canoe and no food except the Grape
Nuts and milk.
For four long dreary days we waited
and hoped for help and finally our friends
missed us and organized a search party
and found us on the bare little island.
LAS we had no fishing tackle we could
not fish and not having a fire we could
not cook. But we had three meals a day
on Grape-Nuts and condensed milk and
when rescued we were none the worse
for our experience. Thanks to the Grape.
Nuts on which we had lived and kept in
good health for four days.
after this adventure l never drive a
canoe to shore in a hurry and never 60
on hunting trip without supply of the
ready cooked, ready-to-eat and always
acceptable food Grape-Nuts."

One Of the novelties In collars, Guns

Large artistic metal buckles will be IN
favor, to be worn at the back Of th'

the shapes for the fall
For the more dressy hat, the shape hai

The flowers that will be used for tina

KoREA's SEVEN WONDERS
rhe Most Peculiar OF Them Il the
Famous Floating stone.


Korea, like the world Of the ancients.

stated, they are as follows: First. a hot
mineral spring near Kinshantao. the
healing properties Of which are be-
lieved 10 be miraculous. No matter
what disease may affiict the patient. a
dip in the water proves eficaclOus.
The second wonder Is two springs
situated at d considerable distance
from each other In fact. they have
the breadth OF the entire peninsula be-
tween them. They have two peculiar
files. When one is full tho other is
empty, and Notwithstanding the Oh
vious fact that they are connected by
q subterranean passage one is OF the
bitterest bitter and the other pure
sweet.
The third wonder is Cold Wind cave,
a cavern from which a wintry wind
Derpetually blows. The force OF wind
from the cave is such that a styong
man cannot stand before II.
A forest that cannot be eradicated rs
the fourth wonder. No matter what
injury Is done the roots Of the trees,
which are large pines, they Will sprout
up again directly, like the phenix from
its ashes.
The fifth is the most wonderful of
all. It is the famous floating stone"
It stands, or seems 10 stand, in front Of
the palace erected in its honor 1t is

pears to be resting on the ground. free

to say. two men at opposite ends of a
rope may pass it under the stone with

In Preserving

Do not neglect to thoroughly sterilize
the rubbers and fasteners Of preserve
jars. Probably since their last service, a
year ago, they have been left on some
upper shelf Of the kitchen dresser, ex-
posed ITO the dust and TO impure air. They
should be rut in a kettle filed with cold
water, and this should be allowed to come
to a boil over a slow fire. By this process
any particles Of coagulated juice left from
the LAST preserves by a possible careless
washing, will be soaked Off and removed.
Sterilization will also be complete. Small
precautions Of this sort are necessary to
ensure the wholesomeness Of preserves.

Airy Summer Hats

Lace chiffon embroidery hats are the
most deliciously summery looking thing
and sre really quite easy Of construction.
A skeleton frame Is covered with white
tule or net. and on this is sewed either
narrow or wide rufnes The inside Of the
brim is hidden under rufaes or lined with
pleatlngs Of tulle, and there may be at the
left side of the crown graceful spray OF
flowers or n smart pale blue or pink bow.
Black chiffon hats, the edges OF the ruff
fles finished with a narrow lace, are very
becoming and have no trimming save
what is seen in the lace edges, but the
fashion of wearing most elaborate jew
eled hat pins gives the effect OF Jewelled
trimmings The hats made Of embroidered
muslin or ,batiste are very smart and
rather newer than lace ones. the ruffes
being at least a finger in width. The mar
row pleated ruffes Of net or tulle are not
over an inch wide, that is, without the
lace edge which adds another inch, and
be it remembered the lace edge must al
ways be light yellow, not white.
